All the comments have said
Posted on Tue, 24 Aug 2021
All the comments have said what I felt- This is stark in its portrayal of humanity; the correlation of the ecological destruction and the frailty of man, these are days fraught with unprecedented global changes and in much need of helicopter hope...

Posted on Wed, 25 Aug 2021
The Resplendent Quetzal can not survive being caged, can only live free, as all should. There is so much to interpret here, so much to question. I love the journey through your superstitions, your distrust of gods and their teachings, to follow,...

"Two muppets and a vampire"
Posted on Wed, 28 Jul 2021
"Two muppets and a vampire" made me laugh out loud - very ingenious, the swirling virus with a thought process. A well written political lampoon.

Well constructed poem Jenny. The moon’s influence poetically described in the phase of the July Buck Moon named by the Algonquin Tribe for the new antlers that Buck's grow during this season. I enjoyed how you begin with the Buck changing in the...

WOW! I would love to see this
Posted on Sat, 24 Jul 2021
WOW! I would love to see this on a stage, in fact that is how I viewed it as I read it- Great dialogue, fast paced and humorous . Believable exchange between father and daughter and I loved the caustic attitude to the waitress and the asides...
