    Parker Owens commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in Sunrise Surf

    I’m already enjoying this. I’ll be looking for new chapters!

    I sent a link of this to our choir director. The music will be ordered!

    It must have been exalting, exhilarating and introspective all at once.

    @Thorn Wilde Thank you, thank you for posting this magnificent piece.

    What makes me sad is that anything I’ve written might give you such apprehension. What gladdens my heart is knowing these snapshots made you smile and recall something worthwhile. I know there are others who will one day remember you with smiles, too. You were very kind to read and comment on these. Thank you.

    You’re most welcome. Even today, the scent on newly lit tobacco has me looking around for dad. He left me preferring radio sports and a penchant for gardening, among other things. I’m glad these could evoke good memories for you. Thanks for reading!

    Thank you. I’m very glad you thought so.

    I’m very glad these touched you. These snapshots haven’t faded over time. Thanks very much for reading!

    I think the ritual was as important to Dad as the smoke, too. I can still smell it. I’m glad this brought you as good a memory as I gave me.

    I think I grow more varieties of tomatoes now than Dad did. But he showed me how to plant and tend a garden, despite my mulish teenage resistance. I’m grateful for his patience now. Thank you for reading!

    Thank you for reading these. If you gained a glimpse of my father, that’s grand.

    Thank you, tim. Remembering these has brought many smiles to me; and I’m glad they do the same for you.

    Portraits of My Father Dad still sits at the kitchen table writing letters on his legal pad while the radio recounts an unfolding game, Red Sox, Celtics or Canadiens; each longhand line brings him back to life. Barking Dog was Dad’s pipe tobacco; he got more pleasure fussing with it, scooping, packing and tamping, getting it to light, than its acrid wreaths of smoke gave him, but those grey mem

    Reciprocity

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

    I enjoyed this chapter. Troy becomes a little more relaxed with Grant, and maybe Grant is feeling more than pity for Troy. That’s a lovely start. And a furnace to warm everything up! Better still. Now maybe Troy can get his van towed and fixed. You have me grateful for the early chapter, and looking forward to the next.

    Bravo, Simon. You swiped past Max, and moved on. Maybe you’ll be able to move on from your Dad, too. May you be happy in the friends you’ve made.

    @aditus: To savor poetry is one of life’s greatest pleasures. That you should savor these makes me very happy. And I’m most fond of the second for quite unscientific reasons, too. Thank you for reading and savoring these.

    Thank you very much for reading these, and for such generous comments. If only we could keep away the winter by what we write. I’m partial to Of Him too.
  21. Parker Owens
    I’m very glad you liked these two. I’m partial to the second one also. Thank you so much for reading.
  22. Parker Owens
    Thanks for reading these. Maybe they’ll make January go away.
  23. Parker Owens
    I'm really grateful you re-read this. You have no idea how good that is to know.

    Of the Earth Sleep, earth and dream while in your deep white blanket wrapped and candles gleam 'cross drifts with which the world is mapped where autumn's secrets sere lie trapped. Brief was rest snapped by fretful yearnings in the breeze which held enrapt creation by the weather's tease, false promises of warmth and ease. For thus we freeze; while slumber claims each breath and sigh, comes through the trees such cold from latitudes mos
