I would be really surprised if she didn't need somebody to talk to herself.

You are writing my kind of poetry already. The slow buildup is sweet torture; the moment before the first touch is sublime. Thanks for reading this and responding to it.

Chapter 3 Fractures and Judgement
Parker Owens commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 3 Fractures and Judgement
Fractures tells a deeply sad story in a few deftly drawn lines. It is economical and eloquent. It left me feeling melancholy and kind of hollow inside. Judgement is a highly effective sermon, all in its own. Anyone who has ever sat in a pew should hear it. Together, this pair packs a mighty wallop.- 27 comments

Perhaps like a good homemade curry? Your comments are very kind and generous. Thank you so very much for reading these and for your responses.

You have made my day. Thanks. There is more of the meal yet to come, too.
-
Thanks, Mac. In some ways, it's the summary of a wonderful story, isn't it? I really appreciate your comments.
-
Glad to have added an extra kick to your day! Reading them in a meeting? Oh, boy. Thanks for taking time out to read these and responding to them.

It's amazing to me how much I remember students from years past. As a teacher, it's often those short one on once conversations and experiences which stick in the mind. I imagine Ramon will remember Eric for a long time, too.

Executive chef! I like my new title! Thanks for reading these tiny bits of spice and flavor. I really appreciate your comments.

Long weeks, wary circling, testing, trying, teasing, tumbling slowly into this one moment; above my sprawled form you hover, unseen ready to touch, to knead, to embrace me as yours.

Thank you AC. This one was one of my favorites in writing, too. The play and the persuasion were elements I hoped came through.
-
Quite warm, but playful, too. There are several plays on words, and I hope you got fun visual images from all of them. Thanks for trying this one...

When I first read this, I smiled for the sunlight and love I hear in every line. Reading it again today, the same smile returned, as I suspect it always will. Oboes and violins, like soothing like warm light; and the garden of people metaphor is brilliant. Utterly beautiful.
-
Thank you for sharing this part of your life. You brighten the world with its telling.
-
These are so incredibly beautiful, tim. And you bind me felt like gentle waves of love on a sunny day. And How can I love you? How can I not? These frame a delight in another, that connection which defies explanation. These are exquisite examples of your deep talent.
-
This is a nightmarish and sobering story. You tell it with clarity and detail. I was riveted from the first sentence.
-
I like both of these, but 589 particularly. Maybe I have a thought or two. But the garden is calling me...
-
@Defiance19 It's quite possible. It's a little ambiguous...who is really persuading whom? That would be one of those literary discussions that take up a whole class period. In any case, I'm with @BlindAmbition in that there is a unison affirmative eventually.

This is amazing. Were they even allowed to imagine this in the seventeenth century? Incredible.

(Insert blush here). Thanks, Spike.

Glad you enjoyed this. Hot curried Wheaties: now there's an idea. Thanks for reading and responding to this.
-
I could not agree more with you. Very sexy. Thanks for reading and responding!
-
What a perfectly marvelous flavor to bring to mind. Thank you!
-
Thanks for sampling from the Spice Rack. Hope you will try another offering sometime.

Three portraits of despair are presented here. Each one is as devastating as the other. Number 2 was especially powerful: the death of Hope would be a cataclysmic tragedy. And to have it pass unnoticed compounds the sadness. These are very well wrought poems.
