Beautifully written, perfect descriptions of a rainy day, wind blowing and rain pouring down while you view it cozily from inside and playing a game of scrabble. ( I love scrabble) . It all sounds so inviting... and as you'd wished...I hope the...

Your descriptions made me

Posted on Wed, 14 Aug 2019

Your descriptions made me feel the changes of seasons, the arid air and the cooler rush of spring moving this ever flowing river along - and the quest to be strong, like the river. I felt several different meanings in the words and to each reader...

Your story and words felt so

Posted on Mon, 12 Aug 2019

Your story and words felt so real. The acceptance of the spirit of the lost child, still ephemerally in their lives, was touching and heartfelt. The notion that The Mother and Child connection is never severed came through beautifully. Katy is ...

Posted on Mon, 13 May 2019

I could not stop reading, each morsel of this story was more tender than the last. The way you wrote of the beauty of her poetry conjured images both amazing and provoking, winter can be warmly cold and artistically beautiful. This was a great...

Posted on Fri, 03 May 2019

Thank you airyfairy, it has always stayed with me even though I'd never meet this relative, the ending of his life seemed so harsh for one so young (he'd turned 29 the September before that Christmas Eve) and the year 1944 just evoked so many...

I love what you surmise in this thought provoking theory. I would book first passage to this Planet 9 free from all the animosity, hatred, wanton pollution etc... It would be a utopia for sure. Perhaps Heaven is out there among the uncharted...

Posted on Sun, 05 May 2019

I love that you respect all

Posted on Fri, 03 May 2019

I love that you respect all these animals as do I, and I know my dog is smarter than me because he tells me exactly what he wants( food, water, walk) and I listen every time.

Great rhyme and flow of this poem, I loved it and the cherries...
