Thank you, Val. That is nice to hear. I am glad you liked it.

@AC Benus...Exactly. I suppose answers like that would tax their databases, but think of the AI gold mine that could be. Musical preferences tell huge amounts about personality....

Then I am forgiven? Thank you for reading this, and for responding to it.

@Daddydavek....The Academic Festival Overture is one of my all time favorites. And here is a bonus poem from the world of online banking... My bank required questions for access to accounts: "Who's your favorite composer?" was posed. How could they expect me to answer that? I could name a dozen before I took one breath.

Eulogy You always were both person and a place where everything felt absolutely right; as long as we were sitting face to face, the world beheld within your smile's embrace, we scintillated in that golden light surrounding those you'd chosen to invite. And everyone was to your heart invite, no person in your home was out of place where conversation affable and light made welcome all who sat at left or right, as long as they good humor would embrace, for e

The Intern - Prompt 597
Parker Owens commented on comicfan's story chapter in The Intern - Prompt 597
Now that's an awesome short take. Artful and fascinating and good. -
How can I disown my brother? I am at your shoulder. This is another stirring poem; another inescapable question.

Chapter 3: The Personals and I Envision Myself
Parker Owens commented on BDANR's story chapter in Chapter 3: The Personals and I Envision Myself
I continue to find your work interesting, engaging, and provoking. You explore the question - more than merely rhetorical - why not be exactly who you think you are? In so doing, you give us all both courage and food for thought. -
Thank you so much. This pair of men simply got under my skin; and the mixup was just too good to dream about. As a teacher, I shudder to think about what the other speaker must have been like. I appreciate your kind remarks, coming from such a gifted writer as yourself.

tim, thank you for taking me on your journey. The Heron and the Redwing, two of my favorite creatures, were captured perfectly by your poetic camera. More important, your reflections illuminate your mind and experience. Beautiful.

This is fantastic writing. A chapter packed with information and emotion. If it had pages, I would not be able to stop turning them. Love that Louis is from The Rock. Great addition.

Thank you. You make this old face blush. I am glad you liked these.

Morning is a dance to love, as you noted. Perhaps more exuberant than is often my style, but I am glad you like it. Evening remembers and wishes. Your memories are like mine, and it was meant to wrap them together. Many thanks for reading and commenting.

prompts Writing Prompts #596 & #597
Parker Owens commented on Renee Stevens's blog entry in Writing World
I like 597. And I wish I had that ability to always know the right thing to say. -
This is a nifty short piece. It puts me in mind of instructive verses so beloved of my grandparents' generation. I can hear my grandmother in your words...

This is a litany, a prayer and a deeply moving plea to the spirit. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Chapter 1: A Letter to My Son
Parker Owens commented on BDANR's story chapter in Chapter 1: A Letter to My Son
This is beautiful and powerful. The voice of the father is one I can hear, know its timbre and quality. It is full of love from beginning to end. -
You liked the Renga, then? I found the rhyme and connected themes to be irresistible. I hope they worked out. Your words make me blush; Morning was just pure fun to write. Evening sounded the more musical to my ear; I actually had an old folk tune going in my head as I wrote it. Thank you so much for your very kind and generous remarks. My head is completely turned!
-
Thank you for this, Dugh. Morning was meant to skip, to dance. Glad you spoke it aloud. I had to do that several times to get it to scan right. Evening could be song or poem, I hope. And while it is a snuggle, it is also a farewell, as you noted. You are so kind to comment.
-
Thank you, Def. that's awfully nice of you.
-
Perhaps Morning needs a lute? How interesting that you make the Warlock connection. Evening certainly seemed the more medical of the two poems here. Being cradled and cuddled by one you love is undoubtedly one of the greatest gifts life can bestow. Thank you for your really interesting thoughts.
-
I am glad you thought these beautiful. Renga all by oneself is tougher than I thought. Your story about the bird is apt. There is a wood thrush singing in the forest behind the house - unusual, because I haven't heard one all summer. But if these brought tears, at least I hope they were good ones. Thanks for reading!
-
Morning mixes meters, as composers often did in the sixteenth century. I hoped that experiment worked out. Your image in Evening is exactly what I had in mind; a perfect kind of snuggle. Thank you for reading these!

Morning Morning breaks upon the hill, wake and sing, cry aloud, let none be still, for every bird in bright array will greet with joy the dawning day. Sing, make haste to add your voice, dance for love, join sweet Eros and rejoice, abandon melancholy guise, clasp hands beneath the sunny skies. Dance within the glade so green, laugh in light, here let us in love convene, upon a secret snowy bower, for now t

This is a sweet and cheerful chapter in your story. Matt and Parker invariably make me smile. Thank you.
