    Reunion

    The Holly and the Ivy Chapter 1 - Reunion Someone was shaking me by my shoulder. I could hear he was talking to me, only the words didn’t register. My eyelids were so heavy; it felt as if they'd been glued shut. I finally managed to pry them open, and looked directly into a smiling face. The crinkles around the eyes deepened when the man saw I was becoming awake. “You have to get out young man, this is your stop. The driver’s waiting with your luggage. He already called for you two times.”
  5. The Holly and the Ivy Prologue I hurry through the freezing cold to the heavy church doors. It smells like snow. The cast iron doorknob sucks the warmth from my hand, makes me wish for a mug of mulled wine. Shit. The damn door doesn’t move one bit. I have to push with the force of my full body weight before the wooden barrier gives way and promptly hear an amused chuckle from behind. “What’s so funny?” “Nothing, love.” Nothing my ass. The warmth from the inside of the incense-smoky church
  6. My grandmother made me talk to Diarmad Guerin every year after Christmas Mass since I was three. The letter he gave me a few weeks before my eighteenth birthday changed my whole world.

    Rainbow I

    A transparent pin? Very thoughtful. Thank you, Peter. The rainbow poem has been in my head, but it didn't take form until yesterday. I'm glad you like it.

    Rainbow I

    Thanks, Gary! I talked about rainbows with a student. First from a scientific perspective, then we did a more spiritual approach. Then the poem happened.
  10. I wasn't even awake when you suggested this. It has been fun last time. I'm in.

    Rainbow I

    Water drops meet sunlight. Rainbow. Opposite means beauty. Rainbow. Breathe through my color of life. Blood. Be aware I am danger. Red. Bath in my comforting warmth. Sun. Fear my wasting fire. Orange. Enjoy my sparkling zest. Lemon. Watch out for my acid. Yellow. Visit my soothing forest. Leaf. Stay on the path, don’t get lost. Green. Lift your arms, reach out to me. Sky. Avoid my biting coldness. Blue. Paint your favorite color. Brush. Found it was my eyes. Indigo
  12. That's the beauty in poetry: You put 'the ugly' in nice rhyming packages called stanzas, and with every package done, some of the ugly is gone, or at least easier to manage. Another step in the right direction, I guess.
  13. I can't get this out of my head:
  14. I guess I have to write a prompt story for this week. Next week I'll post the first chapter of a second story which I'll update weekly. Can't wait.
  15. Yay!
  16. Happy Birthday!
  17. Happy Birthday!

    Chapter 1

    Three years are long enough, Elise is right. Knowing her, she'll push him until he gets out again. Thank you, Defiance! I'll try to keep it interesting.

    Prologue

    Thank you Defiance19 for taking a chance at my new story! Yes, this will be very hard for Morgan.
  20. Happy Birthday!
  21. 'Heeding winter’s wail to craft his own song' , very poetic. I found writing quatrains more difficult than I first thought, I like yours, they painted pictures in my head.
  22. A must read for me, obviously.

    Chapter 1

    Yes, that's exactly what Lisa said: I should put out a warning for having your tissues ready, lol. I'm glad the first chapter was a surprise for you. I tried what I had planned to make it not so obvious and it worked. Yay! I don't really know where the story goes, which is never good because your right, it could become one hell of a journey. I will put what I see or feel into the story and jerk my readers around... Thank you, for your comment Val! You're very brave going with me through our other project...

    Chapter 1

    Your knee-jerk reaction is very understandable. I might have stopped also. However, I'm so glad you read the chapter anyway. :)I hope I can meet your expectations. Thank you, for telling me your reactions to the first chapter Kevin. Now I know I did something right, although it was tough for my readers.
