    Chapter 1

    Wow, Doc! This is powerful stuff. While it is poetry, and wonderful, it kind of transcends it... having a hard-hitting essay feel that demands you pay attention. Including Pete Seegar lyrics was brilliant IMO. This one will stick with me... the compare and contrast had me both reeling and inwardly cheering, for truth will always be truth, and when such a light is shone in this day and age, it is thrilling. Thanks for this, my friend. Cheers!
  2. Cowboys are almost mythical, but I assure you they weren't. The author captures the sprit of these heroes who are woven into the fabric of the Old West. Cheers!

    Chapter 1

    Cowboys, many of them, led a solitary life, and a lonely one. You've captured that feeling here, Albert, in all three of these. Playing it safe was often not really an option when you were made of cowboy stuff. Death was always right around the corner, as your second poem shows. Campfire Ballad was especially sad for me, I think because of the fact he chose not to fight for love. I understand that, but I wished he had... for my sake more than his. Stirring poetry, my friend. Thank you. Cheers!

    Chapter 1 If Only

    Within I often visit the meadow within The softest, sweetest place I ever laid my head Our secret place where blue-stained lips and bellies full of berries found relief from the sun I remember tall grasses swaying and dragonflies hovering and darting as we lay close enough to touch, seeking faces in the clouds Sometimes laying in silence, or occasionally murmuring silly thoughts, and barking la
  5. Some choices are within our control, while some are not. Life is about acceptance and balance... and living with consequences as we look forward and back.
  6. I consider that a compliment.
  7. No complaints here. Worked on my fish tank this morning. I see you have your feet up on your new lounger.
  8. hello, peeps. Rainy and warm here.
  9. Is this what old Drew looks like now?
  10. Thought this post was from Drew for a second.
  11. 2100 words so far, but who's counting.
  12. Someone needs to wash Drew's underwear.
  13. Driving to town and my car started making a squealing sound. Sounded like the brakes, but the car only has 7800 kilometers on it. Turns out that's what it was. $1414 later.... what are you going to do. Life is a royal bitch.
  14. Hello, people. Been working on my aquarium all morning. Had to replant some plants that grew too tall, and did a 10% water change after removing some hair algae with a toothbrush. Now I have to go get some stuff from town... building a new platform for my bed. My back is sore every morning, and my split box springs are apparently not recommended for my mattress. If this doesn't work I'll have to buy another new mattress. This one is not very old.
  15. Read and reviewed. You hit the nail on the head with this one, @chris191070. There is sadness in the story, but well worth the few minutes it takes to read. Cheers!
  16. A short, but honest story about relationships in the community. Give it a read!

    I have a million things to do today, but I zipped in to read this. Glad I did. It's an honest, sometimes blunt, grownup story. I do feel sorry for Brad, but it's a situation that plays out time and time again. Love is a crapshoot in the gay community where opportunities abound around every corner and on every barstool. Well done, Chris! Cheers!
