Yes, indeed. Spring hopes eternal, or something like that...

We can tell the plants what's good for them, but they never seem to listen, do they?

I hope so too! Could not resist posting this one, though...thanks for reading!

Thaw One morning in a February thaw, I chanced to stroll a sunny campus path together with my colleague in the law, enjoying a reprieve from winter's wrath. The borders glowed unnaturally green, for Sol had carried all the snow away; the stratus clouds were nowhere to be seen, bewildered by his mild and gracious ray. The lovely earth had shaken off her shroud, and though untimely, still the warming soil encouraged both the lowly and t

I love this poem. It should be important reading and it is ageless, IMO.
-
Yes, well, I raged at myself about the keys, and then I could laugh. Later. But I am glad these touched you in one way or another.

You are really, really kind in your response. 'The blue chair' is certainly a grief and sadness observed. The prompts sometimes help - quite often, they do - and sometimes I do something else. I enjoy the fun of trying new forms or reacquainting myself with old ones. I am glad you found something appealing in these.

I blush at your kind comment. Thank you. The challenge is fun...
-
Thanks for the help on the typo! Add that to my list of mistakes. But more thanks for reading these, and for your comments, which I find immensely encouraging. The prompts are such fun, that I sometimes feel guilty if I think of something different!

Thanks, Dark, for a very informative session. Can't wait to see tim's new fiction, and I really appreciated Palantir's discussion about inspiration.

April 1 To start over again means tentative gestures, held-breath adventures to be sure you're safe; wary, we will circle one another, joyous in our pairing, knowing a start will end. April 2 Truth stands fixed, feet planted squarely, courteous with each welcome guest, treating all attendees fairly; Slim Desire in silk jacket dressed, seductively sips fine Chardonnay, better to leave t

My NaPoWriMo offerings for 2017 are posted here. You will need to bring your own throwing tomatoes. I am fresh out.

A really lovely story. I remember feeling exactly this way once upon a time. Beautifully told.

NaPoWriMo 2017 Week One
Parker Owens commented on Valkyrie's story chapter in NaPoWriMo 2017 Week One
Of course, I loved Circular Reasoning, as it is a rare bivariate poem. I am entranced by both 'careful' inspirations, as they are quite marvelous characterizations. Uninspired and Happy Place display your elegant and careful use of words. Masterfully done. -
A mention of Sibelius turns my ear to Hugo Alfven, a Swede, and one of my favorite composers. This tune is very well known, and provides me with much that appeals to me. I can whistle pretty well, and I enjoy a solid tune I can take along with me as I walk to work. Alfven's Swedish Rhapsody no. 1 has an infectious first theme that never quite leaves my head, even as the harmonies and music get increasingly complex.

April 6 : Happy Marriage Day Sis

Ahhh, such a lovely description. Beautiful to think of. -
April 5 : Words are not just Words
Parker Owens commented on Emi GS's story chapter in April 5 : Words are not just Words
This is a small, economically composed little gem. You may have wanted something grander, but maybe smaller is best here. -
April 4 : Mother Nature Calling
Parker Owens commented on Emi GS's story chapter in April 4 : Mother Nature Calling
I enjoyed your college tour, especially. Wish I could have tagged along! -
A fantastic first, Emi!
-
I love the ending to this chapter, as it is so very true. Maturing seniors are so often walking human contradictions. No wonder parents go crazy trying to figure them out. And for the record, I still have my Legos.

Just when Scott finally hoped the storm clouds were beyond the horizon, too. He certainly is in a jam, now. If there were bumps in the road, they just turned into man-eating potholes. Thanks for continuing to read then story!

This chapter made me feel warmth, welcome and happiness. Whatever liam may discern later on, he knows he has his surrogate family as a foundation. You write this with such depth and convincing feeling. A very lovely chapter.
-
You have some very interesting thoughts here. I really like the depth of your consideration. Of course, I can't actually say anything....
-
But who is counting? And what's a little heart medication between friends, eh?
-
You are full of questions! I regret that I cannot answer any of them, alas. I can only say that there may be answers in the future. But your thoughts are gratifying to me in that you are thinking hard about the story, and for that I am exceedingly grateful. Many, many thanks!
