Well, the dialogue got more heated, that’s certain. But I doubt there was any mistake in the meaning of the give and take....thank you for reading these!

The weather is a-changing. That means warm fires and all kinds of fun conversations...thanks for reading!

Dialogue There stands a simple bungalow, with cozy couch and lights down low, a fire before which you and I might snuggle while the embers glow. Your arm goes round my shoulders high, I kiss your lips, and they reply; our conversation swells apace in words enough to make me sigh. Our hands discuss our altered case in dialogue of fevered grace; no idle chatter do we spend as buttons fly and knots unlace. Your fingers' probing questions end my fee

So much going on here, I had to take this in multiple sittings. CJ moves in fast, exalted company, yet lives his life with friends he loves and connects with. You portray that really well. His speech about eulogize, then organize is perfect.

A beautiful story, simply told, full of meaning, and in the end, joy.

Thank you for reading these. They are a first effort at a form that is new to me. That you liked them is very encouraging! -
I am in awe of a man who has figured out the routine that works.

Whoa. A temple aboard a spaceship? Cool. And Lakshou sounds like he could be really good for Kohen. But what is it about Lakshou that inspires calm and sweet rest? Can't just be incense and soft cushions, can it?

He had a name, once, and may wear it again. He is relearning his humanity. Perhaps the others will help him recapture it quickly. But to experience taste and hope is a heady first step.

This is so terrifying and harrowing. The one thing one wants to do - to offer a hug and human warmth - will hurt him, cause him grievous harm. What possible purpose could this torture have served?
-
Oh, wow. Great opening! I am seriously hooked.

It makes me sad to know how right you are, tim. Perhaps our poems change no minds; that true, too, I think. Your kind words are encouraging, nonetheless. But maybe poems can let my tears flow faster, so I can get to the work of trying to mending things sooner. Thank you for reading and for your comments.

This is an awesome chapter, as Caleb perks back death’s layers one by one. The rivers flow back to the living; a perfect return. Yet there remains Orpheus to deal with...

You and I are both bereft, our peace utterly broken. Thank you for reading and for your response.
-
You and I agree, Michael. I only wish this last time was the last time. Then I could write of happier things.
-
Thank you, Moggy. Our tears must strengthen our resolve to find solutions. Thanks for reading and responding.

Thank you, Def. I appreciate your reading these and responding to them. We do what we can. A friend of mine holds out the hope each time that this will really be the last time. May he be right, for once.

Jocelyn Elders, onetime Surgeon General, likened gun violence to a public health crisis, an epidemic - a public disease. You have hit upon part of the pathology, certainly. Thank you for reading and responding to this.
-
I only wish there was a good answer. Thank you for reading and responding.
-
Thank you. You're very kind. I could not agree with you more.

Tear Tracks Tears fall far more slowly than bullets ever fly; please explain, for I am sorely confused; why must we be required to watch this race between wild eyed anger and innocent children? Pandemic What madness is there in modern man that drives him to seek abundant death? What vaccine, what immunization do we need to stop this virulent pestilence? Our tears and our rage are

Skyscrapers and Clouds
Parker Owens commented on Mikiesboy's story chapter in Skyscrapers and Clouds
I loved these! Your images of woven mats of cloud, and whales of gray are inspired. Wonderful sensory writing, making great use of this form’s structure. You make gray days interesting and exciting. -
Ecstatic is more like it. And for the record, I’m humbled you wanted to do so.
-
Love this idea. I’m going to be waiting, now.
