  1. Good Morning/Evening All! I see it was another fine evening tea party for all you Mad Hatters.
  2. I'm checking out early due to sleep deprivation that has accrued over the last four days! Play nice all! My bed awaits me.
  3. As are all your comments dear friend. I think conversations like this are closer to R rated. I'm sure Page would agree. Hi Drew! It sound to me like it depends on whether you want to jump start Spike and Drew, or a car. Hi All!
  4. It is. I went for an evening tuk-tuk ride around the moat for two hours with friends. I swear I got at least 50 bathtubs of water dumped on me. It was an open roofed tuk-tuk and Yoha, our driver wove in and out of the three lanes to make sure we hit all the wettest spots. The worst were the barrels filled with ice cold water. It did keep us feeling cooler than the 40 C temp yesterday. I left dry clothes at Orion's and was able to get dry and share stories with my friends of the trip. I have never laught so much before. No pictures, cause nothing electronic would survive the trip, but I took this picture earlier in the day from my car not far from my condo.

    Flutter

    I read this and gave it a heart, but noticed some tear drop emojis. I reread it again and realized that it could be taken quite differently. I chose the heart because that is what I read. I do like that it can be read differently by others. It is a lovely poem that flowed soft and smoothly no matter the count.

    Loss

    I know that Troy is struggling with his past losses, and feeling so down. It is wonderful that John is there to comfort him and give him strength. Grant also showed his compassion by trying to locate Troy, but did not pressure him. You do such a great job of creating characters we can relate to and who feel real.
  7. Very modest people in public, Thais are quite inventive and aggressive in the bedroom, Clo. If you want sweet and funny only then stick with Froggy. He may be hot, but for Thais that's just the beginning. Like their food, Thais like hot, hotter and OMG! Trust me on this one sweet Tink. ❤️
  8. Scary indeed, yet Lois and Lana still longed for it. One of comics great love triangles with seismic results.

    Echos of the Past

    I love the way you have developed both these characters. I liked that Grant put aside his own biases and accepts John and Troy. I also like Troy's fierce independence, but think it a bit foolish to sacrifice his health to his pride.

    From the Ashes

    Besides the great beginning to this story, your comment got me very excited. I loved Camp Refuge!

    Chapter 8

    How long has Ludwig been on the island? How did he get there? How long has he been a vampire? It seems he is very self righteous for someone who kills and drinks blood. Caden's definitely self indulgent and arrogant. This is going to make an interesting combat of wills.
  12. What can I say.... I can just hear Rusty singing his version of the song. "Ride me to the moon and let me play among the stars!"

    Catharsis

    This really hit the heart of the matter. I went through some of the experiences you mentioned, and finally made a jump into writing poetry. I enjoy how your writing tips sound like you are talking directly to me. Thanks!
  14. What a letdown! All this time I thought Apple Jack was Johnny Appleseed's boyfriend. Oh well! Does this mean if I drink an applejack each day it will keep the doctor away?
  15. "Oh ... what an awesome ride." I read this poem silently two times, then had to read it out loud. It flows so gently, filled with melodic grace. I look forward to more. Thanks, Wayne!

    What I Found

    Your words honor me AC. I have learned so much reading your poems and prose. Working with you was exciting and enlightening. It was this that first sparked in me the idea that I could write. Thank you my kind muse! ❤️

    What I Found

    Hey Bro! Your words are so wonderful to read as I start my day. The affirm to me that I have achieved my goals for these poems. I did want to encourage people to do something that they might have only dreamed about. You are very correct when you said that I imparted to others what i have learned along my way. That is the source for my poems, and I will continue to draw upon it. Thanks, Bro!
  18. Send it my way, please. I'm tired of the hot dry polluted air. We need a celestial sized car wash in the sky to clean up the air.
  19. There are memories held in things often overlooked and taken for granted. "Old Coats" is a unique exploration that makes you look again at something old, in a different light.

    Old Coats

    It amazed me to see how you took a simple article of clothing and transformed it into a world of memories and emotions. Very inspired poems from such a common and overlooked item we all have owned. Brilliant Parker!
  21. Because there are a lot of silly animals in your life like coyotes, roadrunners, wabbits, ducks and an Elmer of two? Personally, I have a very surreptitious cat that loves to prank me.
  22. A joy filled poem that will have you remembering your childhood dreams. Like the song, "When You Wish Upon A Star", the poem leaves you feeling your dreams can come true if your heart desires it enough.

    Chapter 1

    As I read your poem, I also remembered my dreams of childhood and early twenties. I too wanted to be an astronaut, then later I dreamed of being Indiana Jones looking for the lost treasures of the past. As I matured I built on those dreams by learning about science and history in college. My job however was as a teacher. Started out in elementary school and then middles school to teach my students to love science and understand the improtance of history. I love the message of this poem and thank you for the beautiful words that are so positive.
