    Chase would be unusual if he didn’t feel a little ache in the gut as his friend starts dating someone new. Call it jealousy or feeling left out, he’s still going to ache. That he can try to be happy for his friend is good. That he saw Hank without an emotional explosion is even better. Their relationship appears to be at an end, but a long time may pass before anything new forms.

    The Only Gift

    Parker Owens commented on Wayne Gray's story chapter in The Only Gift

    It sounds like an awesome Christmas. Troy and Grant are wonderful with each other, and their friends have become family. You are filling my heart with them. Thank you.

    These are words that lift my heart. I’m grateful to be able to see the love you share.

    The Place

    And do stardom is conceived. I liked this chapter. And what you’re writing surely highlights the plight of returning veterans, homeless or not.

    Comeback

    Parker Owens commented on northie's story chapter in Comeback

    I vote Prat. The sense of humor has evolved, I think.

    I hesitated to participate in the previous discussion. I guess I really wanted to take time to think about it, and to consider the general rule of thumb being talked about. After time to reflect, I appreciated the idea. I’m grateful it got my attention.

    This surely makes me want to dance.

    Thank you for reading. If this spoke to you, if it resonated, then I’m happy.

    You’re so right about social media and the ease with which bitter predigested opinions get spread. Forgiveness is so precious, and it’s elation so grand, it’s a wonder that it feels so rare. I’m glad you feel the hope in this poem, and hear it singing with me. Your response made me smile. Thank you.

    Simon at least realizes his feelings toward Jeff; now he needs to convince himself that they’re not wrong. His upbringing has made him question himself over and over, though. I wonder how he’ll like the film.

    Family Ties

    Parker Owens commented on Wayne Gray's story chapter in Family Ties

    Grant: take tim’s advice! Wayne: great chapter! Grant certainly defied his awful family in a way they can’t mistake. Like Troy, I’d be proud of him too. Looking forward to more!

    Exactly. You’ve nailed it, thank you!

    Thank you, my friend. That movement from panes turned into ice shards, from frozen landscape to melting snow and vivid sunlight touches the feelings generated by forgiveness. I’m grateful for your help in making this poem better.
  14. Parker Owens
    You’re most welcome. Thank you very much.

    You are very kind. It's a pity that Forgiveness can be elusive sometimes, but maybe that makes it more precious.
  16. Parker Owens
    I'm glad you liked the images in that last part. Everything looks different with Forgiveness.
  17. Parker Owens
    Does forgiveness walk with you, with feet that slide in fresh-fallen snow and break through ice covered puddles, shattering their panes to open muddy secrets to the high, blue sky? Can you feel reconciliation's breath upon your neck to chill and warm simultaneously as whispered lips tease your cheek and murmured syllables caress the ear? Will you recall clemency's glance, and forget that place you hid away your ruby-faceted anger secured in black velvet, fo

    Your determination and grit are awesome. You are doing so much that’s right. I continue to think of you.

    Great epilogue. You gave us a window into the future, but we can imagine them all very happy. Wonderful! Thank you both for writing this!
  20. Parker Owens
    So good to see the family reassemble, reconnect and begin to regain some of what was lost. They’re not going to settle into their memories, but are looking to do things that build new memories and new connections for new lives ahead. Excellent chapter!

    Finally

    Parker Owens commented on Wayne Gray's story chapter in Finally

    Oh, what a satisfying surprise for Gail to deliver to Halsten and the rest of that scheming board. Huzzah for her and Terrence. And more cheers for Ben and Frank. Your description of Ben’s insecurity was moving and touched me. Thanks for this chapter.

    Growing Pains

    Parker Owens commented on Wayne Gray's story chapter in Growing Pains

    The Quad Squad just had to know definitively; and now they do. Really, Georgette wasn’t so brash as she might have been, just kinda obvious. That was well written. You left the rest of us hanging, not knowing if Grant can deal with it, or go spinning off into his own void. And I wonder what Troy is saying to his friends in the meantime? I’m only hoping that Grant can recover. Troy is so good for him.

    Coming to Grips

    Parker Owens commented on Wayne Gray's story chapter in Coming to Grips

    The Gang of Four seem intent on caring for Troy and testing poor Grant; will their expectations and preconceptions completely derail things? That is, if they don’t let on about what they know, first. All this sounds like a trainwreck (oops, sorry) waiting to happen.

    Interesting word. I knew a person with that surname.
