"Cold enough for ya, Beau?" God, I hate that question. And my co-workers just love to ask, especially when it snows hard. "Yes, George, it's plenty cold enough, thanks." Hell, even the studs in my ear were cold. I dug in my pocket for my keys to the building. George and I usually opened up the office in the morning. "Didn't get snow like this in Louisiana, did you?" "We never even knew what street snow lived on," I responded grimly. God, it was cold. "So what

weekly update Weekly Wrap Up (Dec 17 - Dec 23)
Parker Owens commented on Renee Stevens's blog entry in Gay Authors News
Thank you, Renee! -
I am very glad you have enjoyed these. I would encourage you to explore the whole poetry writing series put together by @AC Benus, and perhaps write some of your own. The symmetry and interwoven nature of these appeals deeply to me, too. Thank you so much for your comments.
-
Thank you so much for your very kind comments. The invitation to a cozy fire was an irresistible theme.
-
Thank you both for these remembrances of Skinny. I miss him, still.

Chapter 22 Holiday Musings
Parker Owens commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 22 Holiday Musings
You say it so very well. I very much like the second and fifth stanzas; they hit home to me especially. This poem is itself a blessing. -
This makes me terribly sad, and sadder still to know someone caused you pain so that you had to write this.
-
Thank you tim. Like yourself, this poem is a gift to all of us. And I will remember and be glad.
-
Thank you, tim, for reading these, and for your encouragement.
-
Dear jp, I am so glad there is much that is tangible in this; I did hope for that kind of earthy approach. Your kind words are very encouraging. Thank you.
-
Thank you, Gary. You are enormously kind. I hope Santa approves, as you do. I shall keep an ear out for reindeer.

Thr solstice heartens me. Days will lengthen, even as the winter day go on. The cold will not be forever. But in the meantime, let there be fires, and warmth, and every good thing we celebrate. Thank you for reading!
-
Yes, I think your hearing is excellent. Thank you for reading!
-
Thank you. All that soaring metaphor needs to come to a more concrete resting place. A blanket and a fire seem pretty good to me. I am glad you liked these.
-
Thank you, Val. Autumn is done, and the warm fire seems an appropriate place to be right now. I’m grateful you have read these.

Invitation Come, sweet dying, blest disorder, overwhelm and give no quarter, climbing up the mountain higher, crest the peak, and cross the border. Come, descendant of desire, sweep the hearth and stoke the fire, visit with your fleet delighting, joy our very souls inspire. Come, the blanket's so inviting, deeper knowledge there inciting, kiss begun in languid leisure, every muscle now uniting; Come, fruition of our pleasure, let us join in fu

Such a vivid description of a morning after...a morning when the waking poet needed hope, perhaps. Beautifully told and painted.
-
Oh, sweet mercy, what a mess. And now you want me to just walk away? No, no, brother, I’d love to see more. So much of this hits very close and hard. It’s already stuck in my head. Thanks for sharing this much.
-
How silly of me; your question never occurred to me - but of course one would want to know. I can see another poem getting itself ready. Thank you for your idea and for reading this series.

Thank you, Dugh. And I quite agree about Seduction’s dance.
-
I can recall a partners like that, those whose masks we recognized, but whose nature could not dance wholly with our own. And yet we still watch, and hope to dance with the right partner. Thank you so much for reading!
