    Selection

    Parker Owens commented on Parker Owens's story chapter in Selection

    Something nice for a warm summer day?

    Awesome poem, Mac. The second and fourth stanzas are most punchy and affecting; almost meta-rhythmic. Yet it is the third stanza which sets up the fourth; you do it very well. It is often in one's limits and frustrations that one is recognized at last.

    You have it exactly right. And yes, it is um, zesty, isn't it?

    Parker Owens posted new chapter in Spice Rack

    The bar swirls with dancers, each hotter than the next; I want to shout: hey, look my way, choose me. You called me crazy to fall into your embrace; yet you were the greater fool to choose me. Harder, deeper inside, unhinge me, unsense me, borne on pleasure's pulse because you chose me.

    Suicide

    Parker Owens commented on Mikiesboy's story chapter in Suicide

    Your poem is a deep and chilling insight into your hurt and darkness. It helps me understand more about what you are fighting. But know that you do not battle alone. Remember that the flames of love, both small and great, are there, lighting and warming.

    Slaying Dragons

    Parker Owens commented on MacGreg's story chapter in Slaying Dragons

    I love the gentle rhythm which belies the violence done to your beloved. A hauntingly beautiful poem.

    Chapter 7 We Pen

    Parker Owens commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 7 We Pen

    Such varied yet thematic pieces. I love Something Lost, as it corresponds closely to my thinking. Delusion and Pen engaged me, especially the bit about what fertile minds do. We roam constantly, it seems. But Nostalgia is both the best and most challenging of all. Those we love and lose leave parts of themselves behind, stones built into the walls of our own houses. Beautiful, Gary.

    You speak for me, tim. You say the words my heart repeats, and stand with you.

    Thank you, Emi. I can see joy and sorrow in this. I hope for the day when the fear and pain fade away.
  16. Parker Owens
    Dugh, thank you. That there are those who must hide for fear of their lives or livelihoods compels me to speak. You're right. I find it terribly sad.
  17. Parker Owens
    Thank you, Gary. As so often happens, you intuit my meaning so easily.

    Michael

    Parker Owens commented on Mikiesboy's story chapter in Michael

    Blessings to you, even as you have blessed us. Your poem is like that in so many ways.
  19. Parker Owens
    Thank you for reading and connecting with this.
  20. Parker Owens
    So many have to hide because so many more have died. Too many have been murdered or neglected. Thank you.
  21. Parker Owens
    Thank you. You are so right; legislated bigotry cannot stand.

    Thank you Val. In parts of the world it is difficult, even fatal, to march in open pride as they did in Washington today.

    I cheer my proud brothers, storied men, courage clad, robed in brightest declarative garments; but while we celebrate joys and triumphs, forget not those drab dressed shadows who just survive.

    I especially like number 3. It connects to me very personally.

    Chapter 16

    Parker Owens commented on craftingmom's story chapter in Chapter 16

    Declan is neither so besotted that he cannot help notice what Bailey wants to hide, nor so dense as not to wonder about it. Now will Bailey let Declan inside his hurt? Beautifully done.
