  1. And you know I - and all of us - will be thinking of you.

    Chapter 5

    Mark and Bobby are being increasingly open about themselves. Good for them. It’s high time Amy had a moment of insight; nastiness has a way of following one around for life. And now, the Talk. Oh, boy.

    Chapter 4

    Scott’s clearly dangerous. Bobby and Mark might try to take matters into their own hands, but how many others will get hurt in the meantime? However, it was nice to see Amy taken down a peg or two. Or three. I feel kind of bad for Josh, though.

    Bobby, too! Scott really doesn’t get that making a couple of other people miserable isn’t a recipe for a happy summer or happy life. His social skills, um, suck. But that makes me wonder why he’s staying with his uncle for the summer...

    Chapter 2

    Mark has a trusted adult he can talk to. He’s lucky. Not every outed kid does. I can’t feel any sympathy for Amy, as she will soon descend into poverty. You turned the screws a bit tighter...

    Chapter 1

    Well, Scott is certainly a nasty piece of work, and Mark’s sister isn’t much better. I suppose she doesn’t realize that telling mom kills the goose that lays all those dollar colored eggs... and Mark may be awfully close to letting his secret slip. Great chapter.

    Mystery Man

    Oh, boy. That’s quite an opener. Why stay with Lex? That’s a question I hope we explore. There’s got to be more than just sex, right?
  8. I am very grateful you chose to share these evolutionary thoughts with everyone. Writing poetry can be a wonderful experience, but you have also shown that it requires thoughtful patience. For my part, I am immensely grateful to have a supportive community of Poets and readers here on GA who have encouraged and guided me, too.

    In the Mirror

    I liked this immensely. Mirror poems can be tricky, but you’ve done marvelously.

    Okay, this absolutely sizzles, like the words you wrote. It’s alive and vivid. I love it.

    Chapter 41

    Oh, my. It sounds like a grand plan. What could possibly go wrong? The problem is, they can’t wait to find out what really could go wrong. Otherwise, someone else will be out to get them. I’m waiting, with bated breath, for the next chapter.
  14. Congratulations, Dodger! What a wonderful and well-deserved promotion! Huzzah!
  15. Yes.... Italian Sunshine....
  16. @AC Benus That's magnificent. How I wish I could leave such a tribute to those I love and revere.

    Tethers

    You’re right that these are not easy to read, but @Reader1810 is right. Your poetry is excellent. These are compelling words of passion and hurt. I hold you in my heart.
  18. Happy Birthday, candles flame, celebrate, and be not tame, fireworks and cake galore, joy this day and many more. Happy Birthday.

    Tommy's Poems

    our Garden filled me with smiles and made me happy. on Love spoke to me we clarity and truth. Those last lines were awesome. for Tarek evokes images of selfless love, reminding me of the poem preceding it, and of the rebirth one finds in a garden. Taken together, these are a terrific trio.
  20. I love these small gems, these delectable poetic small plates. Nature’s Glory is an instant favorite, as is your benediction in Goodnight. Loss speaks persistently to me, in melancholy, yet irresistible words. Thank you for posting these!
  21. Michael, I think these are indeed gems. tim is right that you may need to take on the Poet designation soon. Each of these appealed to me, but I agree that the second may be more immediately personal. I am so glad you chose to respond to AC’s appeal.
  22. These are vivid, image filled poems. And they are unforgettable.

    Embrace

    I feel bad for Zack...but that feeling lasted about three seconds. The joy in their reunion and embrace vibrates all through the chapter.

    Spy

    Great chapter: lovely setup at the shelter, then Kaleo’s turn. Popcorn on the floor and a huge genuine smile to shine on the truth.

    Chapter 16

    What a chapter! I’m still chilled and twitchy...
