    Just Desserts

    raven1 commented on raven1's story chapter in Just Desserts

    I love that you caught the smutty humor. When I read the other responses to the prompt in Dessert Prompts, I loved the idea of adding an erotic element to the poem. (I also love alliteration, and use it in many of my comments.) I appreciate your great comment. One of my goals in writing poems it to make people laugh. Thanks! 😄 Terry

    The other comments said most of what I wanted to say. I will only add that the young boy is deserving of all the love you can give him. I hope you now embrace him in your heart and soul. Honor his courage that struggled against great hurt and pain to become something better. He shares your past, he shares your future. A very loving and courageous poem. Thanks for sharing with us!

    This is a beautiful poem of bittersweet love. Like @Parker Owens and @Drew Espinosa I loved how the rhymes propelled the poem. It was the rhythm that made me feel like my blood was rushing as if I had run thru the forest, experiencing the observations and thoughts you described so deftly. This is one of your best!

    Thanks Chris! I love to celebrate life, and truly learned how to do that when I made my home in Chiang Mai. If you clicked on the picture and read the description you know how crazy and joyful the Thais are when they celebrate. Your words are very encouraging and special for me after all the fun we have had in reading the same stories and commenting. Thanks so much!

    Thanks Paul! I will continue to post pictures and poems with encouragement like this. I find I am having fun writing a subject I hated is school. Crazy twist of fate. 😜

    Thanks Paul! I'm pleased that you liked this. I love both cakes, but Black Forest cake provided more opportunity to have some fun. I'm looking for both ideas like the prompt that inspired this poem, and will also be trying new forms. Tanka poems will probably follow the next chapter. I appreciate your encouragement and support!

    An interesting tale this, told two words at a time. The words in a matrix as I thought about how each word related to the next, and each pair related to the previous pair. It was a very inventive way to express ideas and thoughts. I hope I can be just as inventive someday!

    This is an elegant exposé of choices we make or are made for us. The following couplets were powerful and personal for me. Your insights and words are so exact and lovely.

    A wonderful poem to a person I know meant so much to you.

    Chapter 1 The Walk

    raven1 commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 1 The Walk

    I loved the whole poem. I've left the cold walks through the forest behind me, but got to relive brief moments in remembering them again. The first stanza described exactly how I felt as I began to walk. Glad to see that years later you are much the same person as you were then. Still facing the future defiantly with grace.

    I agree with Spike and Albert. Sidewinder, Larkspur and Boundaries are all brilliant stories! I love each one dearly.

    Cool crispy green bites sweet Tyrian purple orbs Mother of great wines. Sil’vry wet bullets plunge down from heights above, wind-driven monsoon. A rising shrill call awakens every sunrise, pleading I live here. Gold eyed saurian blends with an earthen clay pot, waiting for his food The bright torrent roars, framed in lush green or white snow, bring peace to the soul.

    raven1 commented on Geron Kees's story chapter in Chapter 1

    That would be awesome if you do that. The picture challenges were some of the first stories I read by you. As you know, I have followed you ever since those stories.

    G'day Bucket! Hope things are going well for you now the weather is a bit cooler. I had to wince when you told us about hitting your toe. It's a thing I seem to do a lot! Glad it is better now.

    Sorry to keep you waiting Albert. Songkran is like 5 days of the craziest New Years in a row. The Thais are very social, so that meant all day and night partying. I also worked to make sure I would be able to post my new chapter as I had promised. Then there were the books and poetry in process I am trying to keep up with. I will be able to start catching up to you now that I have more time to read. 😄

    Considering where you live and your lifestyle, I'm sure you will love a trip there. The really difficult part is deciding what you want to do and see. There is so much to pick from depending on what you like to do! ❤️

    Hi Gary! Hope your day went well. I am very happy the mare is doing better. I'm starting your Reflections now and looking forward to more tales of your woodland walks. ❤️

    Hey Everyone! I just published chapter 2 in Blackbirds Singing it will be online in about 4 hours. It's my attempt at Haiku with poems based on living in the mountains of Oregon, and some about Songkran. 😄

    Good Morning Mancunian! I see you not only survived the day, but got some great shots in yourself. Hopefully, it help lift your spirits a bit. 😄

    Hi Spike! No offense to Gary, but I have felt this a few times after reading one of his stories and wanting a second or third book.
