    You brought tears to my eyes. These are very poignant and, at times, heart-breaking. Well done. Here's another
  4. Brilliantly crafted, all of them. I am very envious of your ability to find rhyme and meter in such a natural way. Your poetry flows very evenly and makes me run the gamut of emotions. I love your take on the prompts you decided to tackle. The 'fame' one was perfect! I had to laugh that we both used 'flibbertigibbet'. It's such an awesome word, isn't it? Your old-fashioned word poem reminded me of Lewis Carroll. The last one brought tears to my eyes. The pain expressed in that poem was palpable. Well done, sir.
  5. Thanks so much
  6. Thanks for the review, Addy. I love old-fashioned words. I had a fun time with that one. I'm glad some of the others spoke to you, too.
  7. Thanks, Parker. I really appreciate the review and am glad you liked them.

Poem #8 Slumbering, she waits, ready to perk up at a moment’s notice to happily release the elixir of life. Poem #9 I want to be famous to Toe-tapping, frowning people waiting in lines.

    Chapter 13

    I figured that Reth was Tareth I'm glad he finally got to see Kye. Things seem to be on a bit of an upswing for Kye. I hope it continues, although there is still the matter of that pesky spy. I can't wait to read more. I'm really enjoying this story.
  12. There's still a Family Video down the street from me. Couldn't tell you the last time I actually went in there, though.
  13. I really enjoyed this. You wove the word list into the story seamlessly. I loved the discovery of the box and the story the contents told was heartbreaking. Great job.
  14. :wizard: Happy Birthday, Drew! Here's a different kind of pie cake for you
  15. Thanks so much I appreciate the review.
  16. A dish rag is like a washcloth for dishes. A washcloth is for people.
  17. I really appreciate your support and insight. If you want a hint about Thomas' affliction, just let me know. I needed the tissue box handy when I wrote #5. I'm still working on today's poem. It's giving me a little bit of trouble. Thanks for the review!
  18. I hope you feel better soon. Thanks for the review
  19. You made my day with the Dorian Gray reference. I was torn between naming the poem after Narcissus or Dorian Gray, but went the Narcissus route. I love ice cream any time. My friends think I'm nuts lol Thanks for the review, Addy. I'm glad you liked them. Fingers crossed on not getting sick this year.
  20. Thanks, Tim. I'm glad you liked them. Unfortunately, that black dog is something I'm quite familiar with. Damn thing likes to hang around a little too much sometimes. I appreciate you taking the time to leave a review
  21. I enjoyed all of these, Parker. It's interesting to see how you interpreted the prompts. Glad you're on board and I look forward to week 2!

    Such a variety... I love it! You evoked a lot of different emotions - hunger, laughter, sadness. I look forward to week two!
  23. Poem #1: April Fools Gray skies menace green shoots clawing like zombie fingers through thawing earth. White flakes attempt to impede their progress – not succeeding as the laughing tendrils reach for the hidden sun. Poem #2: Three Reasons for Eating Ice Cream in Winter Cold headache, hot shower. Creamy sweetness melting over hot apples in a flaky nest. Blanketed by the fireplace like hot fudge cascading over vanilla mountains. Poem #3: Sleep-addled brain struggles to fin
  24. Thank you so much, Lisa
  25. Thank you so much for the kind words, Dark. I'm glad you enjoyed The Old Ways so much. I'm thrilled to be included in this blog. It's one of my favorite features and I look forward to reading the authors' responses every month. I've read both Second Shot and Gemini and enjoyed both of them. It's nice getting some further insight from both authors. I can relate to a lot of what you've been through, Dark. I'm so glad you've found a measure of peace.
