I was caught up in this story

Posted on Wed, 10 Aug 2022

I was caught up in this story from the first word of the first paragraph; it walked along the normal and I did not see the supernatural creeping in; such a surprise ending. I am hooked on your story...cannot wait for part two.

Beautiful poem; I am in awe of these ferns- ancient seedless plants, millions of years in existence -one of the oldest neighbors in the forest. What tales they could tell if they could. I especially loved your last line's offer of respect....

Posted on Mon, 09 May 2022

The last line, the way you juxtapose nature and man; seeds and thoughts intertwining taken by the wind, to be squirreled away, to ponder on. That truly drew me in and took me there. I saw the sun, the pollen, insects buzzing, and thoughts...
