Thank you for reading these. I’m very glad Clay struck a chord with you. Things will come round right, I know. I’m grateful for your kind thoughts and hugs.
-
You're right in that; and your words are a hug. Thanks.
-
Thank you for reading these. I am very glad Colorfast appealed to you. That fabric metaphor is a favorite. Then again, I'm a sucker for textiles.
-
You are so very kind to read these, and to comment. Summer's waning has so much color and texture, they yearn to be written; and there are so many who seem intent on erasing us, draining us of who we are. I am glad you think these flowed well.
-
I'm very grateful you read these, and very happy you think they're effective. The opening lines to Colorfast kept repeating themselves in my head. Finally, they showed me where to go. Thank you for your thoughts and encouragement.
-
Thank you, tim. The last six lines of Colorfast took many days to form. They finally came together over the weekend. xo - P

Clay Discarded and forgotten in the shed, they lie as dusty bones of summers past their once-bright flowers withered, crumbled, dead and frozen by an icy winter’s blast; now filled with dirt depleted of its worth, mere chipped and damaged vessels made of clay, they have no seed to bring new life its birth or hasten beauty to the light of day. So am I like that broken, useless pot, reminder of those months beneath the sun

Matthew has tried manipulation and telephone bullying. Let us hope he knows nothing about firearms. It’s definitely time for Simon’s mum to change phone numbers. Can she get an order of restraint, too?
-
Wow. So much happening in this chapter. Daniel submits to Joan; Evan prepares, and Shawn is drawn into what is becoming Jed’s pack. I’m very intrigued.

This is delightful, beautiful. Thank you for it.
-
I really like the world you are building. You are wonderfully good about including details of language and daily living - the names of the flowers stood out to me right away - so it feels so very real. You have me guessing about what the journey ahead holds for Stravor and Keter. I suspect it may be a journey that changes both their lives.

You’re very, very welcome. Andy inspires me too, often when I’m tired and want to just plop down and quit. It makes me glad to know you see him as I do. Thanks so much for your comment.
-
I’m immensely grateful you followed Andy’s journey to its end. Knowing that someone else connected with him and with Zander makes me smile. You’ll also find a couple of added snapshot stories, just little short things, in which Andy and Zander appear. I hope they will inhabit your heart quite as much as they do mine. Thank you very much.

Limits are always fun to teach, especially taking an intuitive approach. And Sean certainly is taking an interesting and perhaps intuitive approach to Tyler himself. At what point will they become sufficiently close that they reach unity (for all practical purposes)?
-
I think this one strikes a deep chord with me. You highlight so many things I observe in myself - my patience wearing thin, and the minutes in a mysterious hurry, especially. And the bleating you perfectly express is something I seem to hear more and more. Thank you for letting me know I’m not alone.
-
I’m really happy you’re going to try this. I send you my hopes for a great success.

And now I just see me. That’s a perfect final line; not everyone can say that. Not feeling the truth drain out of the day as one walks out the door must be a fantastic sensation. This is beautiful.
-
Awesome start to a tale I’m going to want more of. As you do often do, you make all kinds of ideas spring to life as I read. Who or what is Hemothacene? And young Keter? What is the secret depth of this beguiling young man? My hat is off to you for a great first chapter.

How aptly named is this chapter. Daniel’s wolf will be the end of him, I fear. Evan’s mystic journey is fascinating, but full of foreboding. And lucky Franklin! Now I’m ready for another chapter. Soon please?

Monday (Afternoon) - part 2
Parker Owens commented on Drew Payne's story chapter in Monday (Afternoon) - part 2
What a dreadful house to have to take refuge in. Poor Simon. At least he got the chance to say how he felt about his Grandmother’s house and the poor excuse for a church she dragged him to. She and her son can walk right out of this story, and I’ll be pleased. -
This is a wonderful poem. It’s a beautiful expression of love and desire for healing.
-
Your poem pleads for understanding and asks the reader to read as one would wish to be understood. This is indeed an excellent formulation of an online golden Rule. Thank you.
-
Awesome! You’ve done beautifully in this form! Your fiancé is a lucky guy.
-
These are grand snapshots of a marvelous holiday. You are so good to distill your experiences and share them with us. Thank you!

I like this. You have a knack for capturing the emotional essence of an event or situation, and you do it beautifully.
