This is really sweet.  I feel

Posted on Wed, 21 Oct 2015

This is really sweet.  I feel the ending needs more welly... that last line feels it should be a crescendo ending rather than a fine one but that may be my impression.

A weak child rehabilitating..

Posted on Sat, 26 Sep 2015

This is lovely. Warm and
