    Rain

    Parker Owens commented on WolfM's story chapter in Rain

    I loved reading your Tanka. The third was my favorite - not because you fell in the cold mud, but because I could hear and feel more of your experience there. Wonderful.

    Just finished watching a sappy movie. Good night everyone.

    Hey. Hope dinner was good.

    Sounds perfect. I may open a bottle myself...

    I’m sorry you’re undergoing a siege similar to ours, only worse. Hope you’re warm and safe now.

    I’m not really a veteran. I agree that I like the chance to write something outside my comfortable space, or to try something new. @Valkyrie is right. One should just try it and see where one is taken.

    a sister's love

    Parker Owens commented on MericCotton's story chapter in a sister's love

    Okay, I’m officially scared by this one...

    Hello again. Hope you are all having a good afternoon. The sun came out here for almost seventy minutes...

    The baggage section has quintupled.... This line resonates especially with me. Your reflection on what we carry, and how much, makes a powerful statement. Can these things slide away, and allow us to travel the remaining road without their weight on our shoulders? Your hope is mine, too.

    Good morning, everyone. I’m grateful for all of you today.

    You bring the afterlife into bright relief. It’s almost the beginning of a joke: two guardian angels walk into a bar... Does Diego have a thing for Death? Or Death for him? I can’t even imagine how that would work. Great chapter.

    Sleep well. Good night.

    See you later...

    Maybe that means there will be a summer with fewer fires.

    Nice and warm in my green wing chair. I can see the woods from here. We usually get 90 inches in a moderate year...

    I’ve got snow, I’ve got ice, neither thing is very nice...

    And mine. Thank you for being on our respective wavelengths, Mac.

    I’m okay. A very quiet kind of day. It’s snowing out, as usual.

    Summer Night

    Parker Owens commented on Thorn Wilde's story chapter in Summer Night

    I’m not sure it’s so strange. It is funny how things I wrote years ago speak differently to me now.
  20. Parker Owens
    Is is very true. Hello, everyone.

    Summer Night

    Parker Owens commented on Thorn Wilde's story chapter in Summer Night

    This is beautiful on several levels. You describe a marvelous summer night, and you are alive to everything in it. At the same time, your observation but i know it isn’t forever can let the reader pivot to metaphor. The night is the absence of the beloved, perhaps - and what then is the silence? You’ll have me thinking for a while...

    This is an awesome feature. I really enjoyed seeing the responses. Thanks for doing this.
  23. Parker Owens
    Thanks for reading these. And no, it’s not terribly warm. The sea is just fine...

    Well it’s over now - the romance and discovery, that’s done. Jordan said it: he’s moved on. Maybe Jordan and Noah can take joy in each other’s lives, and be the kinds of friends for each other that each will need in the years ahead. You build up our hopes and let them down again artfully. Unless Brody turns out to be some kind of hidden evil man, I think Noah will need to learn to be more social, to make connections, and find another man who makes him feel as Jordan once did. All this has the melancholy of the cool September days that we know must give way to winter.

    Parker Owens commented on MericCotton's story chapter in innocence lost

    This poem has me recalling my own unhappy adolescence. You are not alone in the darkness.
