    @Carlos Hazday : if there is ever a GA poetry reading event, it seems the bar would need to be well stocked.

    This is an awesome set of questions, and a very interesting format. I enjoyed this AAA installment very much!

    I have to refill the feeders in the morning... the fall migrants are still passing through. But there are sure to be more to catch the eye and the pen.
  4. Parker Owens
    I have you to thank for them

    Jays, Starlings, Grosbeaks and Mourning Doves are all thuggish in their ways, let alone the Crows. Glad you thought these worked.

    Chickadees Behold the humble Chickadee who shouts his name from yonder tree and flits about from branch to branch exclaiming so excitedly. You’ll find him near the suburb’s ranch, or places where your heart might blanch, like urban stockyard, arctic waste, in mountains near the avalanche. He will not to the nectar haste, for seeds are much more to his taste; with privet berries for dessert,

    Birds

    Parker Owens posted a story in Poetry

    Poetry about the creatures outside my window, who give me great pleasure season after season.

    Such a wonderful word. Thanks for this one.

    Good evening everyone. I found you all again... Long day in the classroom... but I can see by all the recipes what can make for supper. Thank you!

    Why am I not surprised either?

    I hear the voice of melancholy as the world changes, and time works its inexorable will on everything. You tell it out simply and clearly. It is very effective.

    Never Again

    Parker Owens commented on Mikiesboy's story chapter in Never Again

    This story leaves so much to weep for, and so much untold. Is Jarrod right to give Arnie the chance he asks for? Can Arnie work to deserve that chance? What did Arnie get from Gary that Jarrod did not? You tell this tale so well, because I feel a need to know more.

    There’s wide a streak of sweetness in this story, which balances the pain and heartbreak you describe so well. Thanks.

    In Sam’s Room

    Parker Owens commented on Drew Payne's story chapter in In Sam’s Room

    The pain radiates even through the recollections of joy and love. Beautiful.

    Not a happy ending, but very, very powerful. Well told.

    Pale pleasures

    Parker Owens commented on Starrynight22's story chapter in Pale pleasures

    Great vampire story. I’m not usually a fan of these, but you, um, suckered me in. Thank you!
  18. Parker Owens
    It is wonderful to meet you. Glad you are here.
  19. Parker Owens
    I love reading about James and Faris. You’ve written a sweet and wonderful Halloween tale. Thank you for this treat.
  20. Parker Owens
    What a wonderful connection you made to the Velveteen Rabbit. That is one of my favorite tales. And while it did not make the poem, the Black Painted Rocker has 'rabbit ears' as part of its back. You are right that the old black rocker creaks very softly, very subtly, in motion. Thank you so much for reading these and for your wonderful comments.

    The title was irresistible. Glad it brought a smile to you. If these four brought your own good memories forward, then I am doubly happy in both our recollections. Number three was started by grandmother, then completed by a great aunt and then mother, neither of whom got to use the chair very much. But their work turned out quite beautifully, and one can be grateful for it. Thank you so much for reading these and for your comments.
  22. Parker Owens
    You are very kind to read these four, and to comment on them so. Rocking chairs cannot help but soothe and comfort, though in different ways. These particular four have made connections at varied stations in life. Thank you very much for making time for these.

    Thank you for reading these, dear Def. These treasured pieces harbor a luster and memories beyond their beauty. I'm grateful these resonated with you.

    Chapter 31

    Parker Owens commented on RichEisbrouch's story chapter in Chapter 31

    They do not have air accordions, so their rooms are always hot. And I thought accordions were full of hot air... thanks for this installment.

    Yes, real furniture is made to last; as long as the stories that it can tell, as beautiful as the light and laughter and love it absorbs over the years. Perhaps your rocker with your sister surrounds her with memories of you. That’s no bad thing. I am glad you liked these, and may your reflections bring you contentment and smiles.
