Chapter 2: Pulse Nightclub Shooting
Parker Owens commented on Bill W's story chapter in Chapter 2: Pulse Nightclub Shooting
This is a hard read, and it reminds us of the hard truth that it’s necessary for us to be watchful, whether we want to be or not. -
I walked home beneath untroubled stars where trees slept silent, with no reply to the hoarse voices of reawakening frogs, their untuned love songs unrequited by my unmasked whistling in the dark.

I send you hugs and hope.

If Northman is being nice, either CJ entered an alternate reality or something very unusual is afoot. Sure the resident CIA agent might spread rumors and misinformation, but Northman being nice would confirm to any watchful observer that CJ’s trip was momentous. It’s not just Northman that should have CJ and Oz twitching; it’s Simmone blatantly pumping and probing for information. Great chapter.

What a very sad, very heartbreaking story Loe related. That Jay can be what Loe needs in that moment says more than any words or gifts or Stratego.

I’m so glad you have enjoyed these. Thank you very much for reading, and for your encouragement.

I can feel the dark colors emanating from this poem; your annoyance is palpable. I can only say that I sometimes feel this way too.
-
Your poems speak to me and make me hear your voice telling me about the quiet, and that solid, reassuring peace - and about how focusing on perceived flaws can shatter that peace into shards. These lines are spare and beautiful.

Chapter 15 - Shiv's House
Parker Owens commented on Salander's story chapter in Chapter 15 - Shiv's House
It’s nice to see much of the chapter devoted to Nic being able to relax into himself, and to enjoying his friendship with someone. His having to hole up, locked in his room with Joey, is a big fat flashing red light. Blind spot or not, Nic’s mom absolutely has to know. So:next chapter is a storm? Can’t wait for the wind to howl. -
This was a lovely Washington interlude. It was nice seeing everyone, if only briefly. So much going on, and there seems to be a continuing theme that Owen and CJ will have to be in different places at different important times in the months to come. That doesn't seem like a happy set of circumstances. I will withhold judgement on Carson's girlfriend. I will need more evidence. Like Owen, I can see that the need to affirm climate change as real seems like an important litmus test. Oh. Just ratted myself out as a tree hugger. Thanks again for a great chapter!

I like this poem. It’s not entirely in a major key, but it’s relative minor passages enhance and enrich it. Thanks you very much for sharing this with us.

You put it very well; perhaps it’s as if our view is slowly fading. You’re right that Pavane should feel like a treasured memory, never to be forgotten. Thank you very much for reading this collection, and for your most kind comments.

Out of the whole collection, the two poems you noted were particular favorites. There is a kind of melancholy air to these. I tried to recall those sunlit pre-pandemic summer days, and with them, a hope for their return. You are so kind with your words, and generous with your talent. Thank you.

Thank you for joining in the dance. It seems like there is no better time than now to enjoy its beauty. I really appreciate your reading these verses.
-
Alas, every dance must end. It makes me smile to know you have enjoyed these.
-
You’re very kind in your comments. I’m immensely glad you have enjoyed these dances. As for more poetry, I’m hoping this spring will provide more inspiration.
-
You’re most welcome. I appreciate your taking time to read these.
-
I’m glad you found them good enough for that purpose. Thanks again for reading!

You’re very welcome. I’m glad you enjoyed reading these.

Cascarda What I seek the hand of fate denies, so subtle humor and secret smiles that might have beguiled my eyes shine on another, no less estimable man than I, nor worthier, but more fortunate. I don’t know the man whose dream I shared for one brief hour in the summer night; I woke at dawn unable to recall his name, yet I swear my fingers knew his skin, and my tongue still savored his sal

And new green shoots green the landscape, challenging us to remember when it was otherwise. I really liked the images you evoke here.
