  1. 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.
  2. I’m very glad this form calls out to you, too. There are stories in each of these rocking chairs, more than I’ll ever know. But for now, I will enjoy them, poetry sketchbook in my lap. Thank you very much for reading these.
  3. 1. The Child’s Rocker Three brown-eyed brothers shared with me their books: Babar, Just so Stories, Winnie-the-Pooh, tucked into one of several cozy nooks; but each of them, in time, my size outgrew, while passing years abused my modest looks and so it seemed my usefulness was through. From dusty attic rescued recently, I’m waiting for a boy to read to me. 2. The Black Painted Rocker I’m used to babies
  4. You’re very kind to comment on A to Z. It’s really nice to know there are new readers still coming to know Andy, Zander, and the many others whose lives they touched. If you enjoyed the story, that’s what matters most to me. Thank you for reading.
  5. You have to ask if I like this? Great stuff!
  6. I can even whistle the tune...
  7. I’m reading a collection of poetry called Committed to Memory. There’s a wide selection of authors and genres to choose from.
  8. These speak to me of love, and of calm in being loved. You write so I can feel it and sense it. Thank you.
  9. @AC Benus The Bohemian Rhapsody on the harpejji is amazing. Where do you find these things?

    Poem 2

    I really like this poem. It conveys so much in its images and associations that the finale sneaks up on the reader. Wonderfully done.
  11. “Welcome to Math 475, Advanced Topics in Multivariate Calculus... “

    Food Impostors

    You raised the creepy level to new heights. I am now officially scared to dress up, or eat Halloween food impostors. Bravo!
  13. I love your bird studies. They are so very true to experience. Woodpeckers often rule the feeders, and your words bring that to life. Your meditation on love in the predawn light made me smile. Beautifully written.
  14. Adam has to move on from Kevin; you give us reason to think he might. There is plenty to distract him, including Connor who values discretion as much as Becker himself. But just how Golden is that discretion? Kevin’s example... oh hell, he can’t let Kevin go, not really. Well done.
  15. Thank you, @northie, for writing a story so close to the reality many of us face, or must face one day. Thank you, @Timothy M., for this review, giving an excellent story and writer a better look.

    Brujo

    Really good - seriously creepy. I’m not sure I want to go down to the basement anymore...

    Poem 1

    Taken together, these meditations on laughter and sound and silence left me needing quiet time to think and digest. So many phrases captured my mind; skittering tinkle, God’s laughter, expressions manipulated into fortress walls. Well done.

    Chapter 28

    Wars teach men things like brevity. There’s poetry in that someplace... thanks again.

    Chapter 26

    Push ahead to reach the present future. This is awesome. It’s almost metaphysically bizarre. Love it. Thank you.
  20. You paint a vibrant picture very few actually see; the boredom and grey of Calvin’s existence is unexpected. What would have to occur to change his path?

    Come Over

    A not so innocent tale of a more innocent age. Beautifully written, with just the right kind of tone and inflection.
  22. No, not straight, but hurting and unhealed. Not that Kenny knew any of this, how could he? But he might have been more compassionate; less quick to rush to judgement.

    The Phrase

    I grieve you suffered such pain. Your poetry conveys power in your hurt.

    Story

    Definitely quirky, but perfect for the season. Thank you for this story.
  25. So Red regains his true being as Boyd, and regains it alone. So much remains untold, and of course I want to hear it... soon please?
