I love this beautiful, enigmatic poem. I’m drawn to the images, clotted uncertainty and confidence as a coat of many colours. My heart wants to follow the vision with you.

Thank you for this comment. Scott has undergone a considerable transformation, yet his past seems to have caught up with him. Poor Graham!

@sojourn Thank you for your patience and for reading the journal as far as you have. I appreciate it.

Thank you for writing this piece. I’m voting for Thiago.

They are indeed delicious reminders of summertime. Thanks very much for reading!

Shy or evasive, each has a character. Now is blackberry time. Not only do they shift, they have thick thorns, too. But there’s nothing like filling buckets full of blackberries on an August afternoon.

It’s berry picking season. How can I resist?

I was so happy to beat the Robins and Cardinals to the blueberries this year. Now the blackberries are just beginning to ripen in my neighbor’s field. I’m so happy you liked these.
-
Strawberries growing wild in the field give themselves away by their white flowers; yet they still hide successfully behind clover, bright red peeking shyly through sweet green, like June’s treasure scattered at my feet. Raspberries are best eaten at dawn, hanging as rubies amongst the thorns, so pensive passersby on the path pause to pluck, savoring such sweetness on the tongue, tasting like joy distilled by the sun.

I can imagine they must have quarreled afterwards. Perhaps something holds them together.

Obsession, stalking, compulsion ...all quite marvelously described. The tension is rising!

Red flags seem to be hanging like bunting on May Day in Moscow.

This poem took me with you on a journey to dark caverns and deep, reverberating tunnels. I feel an oppression, a confining closeness, until you open up the vision of the rose, and the flower with roots that grow around the stones to lift blossoms to the sky. I loved this.

A chapter full of information about Fergus and the way he runs his pack. If I were a member, I might be looking for an escape, or a distant job.

I enjoyed this last installment of Malibu. You gave us deeper insight into both Cesar and Brett, as well as into Bryce and Zion. Ritch is getting more flesh on his character, too. Just because there won’t be any drug fueled orgies at the house doesn’t mean there might not be an adventure or two. It will be a great place for them.

Such a beautiful moment.

A Contract is a Contract
Parker Owens commented on Valkyrie's story chapter in A Contract is a Contract
Oh my. You’ve written a real case of Who’s in Charge Here? I enjoyed it very much. -
So many orbits all heading for an astronomical collision. It’s so hard knowing what must follow.

This is awesome; a great haiku.

Haibun from a Distance
Parker Owens commented on Parker Owens's story chapter in Haibun from a Distance
You’re most welcome. I look forward to my occasional glimpses of my colleague’s dog. She’s really lovely. One day she will get her sniffs. In the meantime, I’ve been watching hummingbirds chase away the junk-food addict downy woodpeckers from their feeder. Thanks very much for reading, and for your comments. -
Thanks for your response and taking time to read this. I’m sorry I took so long to reply; I apologize. The echoes of those eight minutes will sound for decades.

I’ve said it before: I love hanging out with the Dads. I’d be so lucky to take a guest room at the house in Malibu - I’ll even house sit while Chipper’s gone!

Chapter 81 Haiku Purging
Parker Owens commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 81 Haiku Purging
These purgatorial haiku reflect a lot of time spent thinking and considering. I’m struck by how many are quotable and interesting to ponder. And I’m very glad you’re okay.
