Trapped in An Episode of SURVIVOR!
Survival, a word I previously associated with a TV show. One I’d never watched because I’m not much of a ‘live or die’ type and didn’t want to see...

I could feel the forest
Posted on Sun, 13 Oct 2019
I could feel the forest around me and it was a peaceful walk along with you. I too love deers though there are none where I live now and I wish we did not hunt these and other animals as we do, though I understand in times of old it was necessary...

Adorable, the tempo and beat
Posted on Sat, 05 Oct 2019
Adorable, the tempo and beat of this sounded like a nursery rhyme. I loved it and could see it with illustrations on a page in a children's book of poems.

I love a rainy day when all
Posted on Sun, 22 Sep 2019
I love a rainy day when all things are renewed with the drenching. Your poetic descriptions accurately painted a grey, yet still colorful, walk in the rain and I enjoyed walking it with you. I felt the sadness in your words at the memory of lost...

Posted on Tue, 03 Sep 2019
Away from city lights, on a dark night, gazing up at the velvet, endless sky, it gives a new persepctive. We are so small, so inconsequential in the scheme of this expansive universe. It humbles and makes me aware of the fragile workings of our...

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, 20 May 2019
I love the flavor of friendship in this – you’re letting us in on your thoughts as this day unfolds, like we’re best friends and I laughed, commiserated and cheered and it was so much fun spending the day there – I truly enjoyed your wit and...

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...
