  1. You’ve spent a great chapter assuring us of the last bit: it’s going to be all right. You did it in so many ways, from new morning sex to changes in the way the uncles approach the pair, to hints at possible accommodation, if not reconciliation. It was a chapter beautifully bathed in golden light. Well done.

    Through the Mist

    I liked this very much, and dinna fret. I ken wha you meant.
  3. Excellent installment, Carlos. Thank you, and thanks to all the authors who answered. @Krista‘s response about sequels resonated with me. I’m also very grateful to @AC Benus for his thoughts on sonnets, and on poetic form, generally.
  4. Who is anyone to judge? I wish and hope for you happiness and joy, love and unity.

    The Detritus

    I’m sorry you hurt, and that someone you trusted did that to you. Your poem makes me grieve. I can only offer you my hugs and hopes.

    Friday

    The Simon you draw here could easily slide down a slick and steep slope of ever poorer choices and decisions. Max truly fucked Simon over, regardless of what may have transpired in his car. What a sad, grey reflection you paint here.

    On the Prowl

    I’m glad you decided to give this story a try. I hope it continues to intrigue you. Thanks very much for reading.

    Frozen

    I liked this very much. It’s elegant and makes me see as you do.
  10. This is a beautiful and deeply healing poem. It is a balm to read.
  11. I love this. I remember my grandmother and great aunts reading aloud to me every afternoon in summer. This would have fit right in...

    Requiem

    You show us that Wren has some closure and reassurance concerning his father. More importantly, you give him Caleb in a deeper and more lasting love. I would agree with other readers that Wade appears to be a character who is at best difficult to redeem. What happens next, both with Caleb and Wren’s relationship and to the rest of the family will prove very interesting. I’m looking forward to it.

    Light Lunch

    This is such a delightful and yet powerful exchange. Both David and Maurice recognize what they have found in one another in no way diminishes what they had before. That one thing is enough to change their worlds entirely.

    It’s unhappily common to choose wrong. You surely made it clear how Simon did so.

    Wednesday

    The gutless way Max cut Simon off is cowardly and cruel. Unfortunately, it seems to be increasingly acceptable. I feel bad for Simon, who essentially got used and tossed aside. On the other hand, was he also using Max in his own way?

    T*****

    What you write conveys the hurt you felt, and the anger so very well.

    Old Sins

    Oh, boy. Watch the Hambrick brothers’ house of cards collapse. Great, suspenseful writing. And I have to wait for more? I’ll be there.
  18. Sometimes you need a doubting voice. But now you need one of unconditional reassurance and support. Your poem conveys this deep need so clearly. You’re not alone.
  19. I’ve spent long hours in the garden listening to the vireo rehearse. It’s a lovely accompaniment to a summer morning.
  20. I’m very glad you like this one. Don’t I wish summer was for always...
  21. This is an awesome poem. Well done.
  22. Thank you so much for sharing that story. If I had been that student, you would have had me walking on air in relief. You made his day and mine.
  23. You have hit the phrase perfectly... the joy of release. Perhaps I’ll go back to studying mud puddles and leaves and snowflakes... Thank you for reading this, and for your thoughts.

    Just Breathe

    I think you’re right

    Just Breathe

    This is an awesome poem. I like the metaphor you work with and the way you envelop us in it.
