    On the Bridge

    Thank you, tim. These lines just wouldn’t stop sounding in my head. It makes me glad you liked them, too.
  2. On the Bridge We met upon the bridge you and I, one walking through the high grass, while a thousand long beards whispered disapproval against bare biceps, the other scuffing brown and orange leaves which gossiped and blushed at what they heard. As equals we leant against the railing, near the middle, where last February’s sand washed up. The breeze spoke from the southwest, promising a change, and our songs floated, so dif
  3. What an amazing experience you conveyed in this poem. I feel the awe and wonder of the encounter. Thank you for giving me just a taste of what you must have felt.

    Semifinals

    How do we score tickets to watch Chipper in the next round? Another great chapter in which you place us right in the action. Awesome. And those shoes wouldn’t be in your closet, would they?
  5. Thank you, tim. I bow my head with your words under today’s grey skies, and remember.

    Loose Ends

    Bliss let Chipper down easy, maybe. What has been described has been pure fun, but not much more than that. They must both be planning for a rewarding career, as the conversation with Ethan and Miles showed. Let’s just hope we’ve seen the last of Mr. Nalbo.

    Story

    This is a beautiful story. I enjoyed this postcard of Paris during the war. Thank you.

    Scars

    You wrote another compelling chapter. I can’t wait to see what develops next, but even so, you have written healing into this world. Thank you.
  9. Thank you @Carlos Hazday, for gathering these insights and letting us learn from them. Thanks to you, and to@Mikiesboy, @AC Benus @northie and @Geron Kees for responding. I’m grateful for some important reminders here about writing.

    Wednesday

    Freddie’s the friend Simon seems to need. With him, he can talk and be himself. And perhaps Simon will heed Freddie’s warnings about his dad. It really sounds awful. But yes, Simon, you can live without a phone.

    Excellent chapter! You had me on the edge of my reading chair. Too bad only one person wins.

    Wounded

    Orson is a smart man, and Clay knows how to apologize. And I sure hope Jeremy realizes how real that apology, and the love behind it, really is.

    I like this poem. It resonates for me.
  15. These beautiful poems each talk to my heart about autumn and the coming winter. You observe the small birds so well, and I wonder with you about them.
  16. So much that’s good to read and hear in these. I loved your haiku, as each successive one brought a fond image to mind. I could feel your heartbeat, strong and alive, in the lines Woke, and in An Ant Can too. Sometimes our heart is what we need to hear. Thanks for sharing yours.

    Social Media

    It’s savvy of Chipper to make sure his social media are relatively clean. Employers, Universities and Sponsors all care about matching image and social media presence. He’s definitely hitting the big time as he gets offers from big names. Chipper will be in the spotlight for good.

    Fear

    You’ve written characters that are easy to love and hard to hate, even when they’re stubborn and mulish and wrong. Each one is hurting now, and healing is going to take time. But I hope that healing will come for each of them. You’ll write that, too, right? Please?

    Old Friend

    You realize my imagination is going to distract me at work all day, right?

    Tuesday

    Simon has fallen in clover. His new friends seem like they listen to him and accept him. And they stick together, too. The only problem is his lurking father. He doesn’t get the message, does he?

    Old Friend

    Ethan is a great friend to come out and support Chipper. We should all have friends like this. But the two of them with Bryce and Zion? Oh, my. And even if Chipper isn’t sure if he wants to win, I certainly want him to. Great chapter!
  22. I enjoyed this return to the original story. It was wonderful. Thank you!

    Honorbound

    Awesome chapter. I’m looking forward to both Mason and Jeremy talking to Clay. More important is Greg’s generous instinct to ask Orson to join them. That’s what made me smile most.
  24. Now that’s a great chapter. Thanks for showing us another side of Chipper’s talents. He’s got the judges on his side. Now maybe America will be there too.
  25. It’s so hard to read about Orson’s injury and the death of his dream. Clay will surely care for his partner. I’m interested in what he’ll do next.
