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...

Posted on Sun, 11 Aug 2019
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 ...

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...

Posted on Sun, 05 May 2019
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 liked the structure, the way the words flowed to take you through the moment when everything changed form lovely to painful, like anytime in life when we are hit with something fearful we pray. In this poem, your prayer was answered.
