  1. Your kind words gladden my heart today. It’s interesting that my observations of that black-masked wood frog made me think of you at that very moment. I imagined you also, as I crossed his rock-strewn stream bed. Thanks for reading this, and for your kind comments.
  2. Thank you!
  3. Thank you for coming with me, along the creek and up the hill. It’s wonderful you experienced something of these in your reading.
  4. I’m very glad your experience of these Haiku left you at peace. That they connected you to nature lifts my heart. Thanks for reading.
  5. I’m glad you did.
  6. How good that you remember pleasant walks and rambles through these. Thanks for reading them!
  7. Thank you. I’m glad you could connect to these.
  8. September crickets sing in the afternoon sun ignoring autumn. ~*~ Golden crowned kinglets search for perfect vintage seeds amongst the wild grapes. ~*~ Silent flycatchers wing through the green canopy, harvesting insects. ~*~ Seven mergansers float downstream separately but take wing as one. ~*~ Wood frogs spring across the stre
  9. Haiku from walks taken this Autumn along the trails in the woods.
  10. Civilizations fall; and I feel like we’re plunging through the clouded air without a parachute. We can scream if we like, but the impact is inevitable. At least, this poem makes me feel that way. I can only watch for the light of love and friendship.
  11. You grabbed me and held on tight throughout this scene. You’ve written it so I can feel and see and hear everything.
  12. Such a glad chapter! It’s good to see this conversation mending the ties that once held these men together. Mitch and Will are definitely smarter now than they once were - they’ll figure out how to make their common life work, and their private life blossom.
  13. This is beautiful, Gary. I loved how you turned to each attribute of the wind and communed with your lover through every one. He was a lucky man to have loved you.
  14. Your poem cuts close to the bone, for neither do I know a life without regrets. You are not alone under your white blanket.
  15. This is a favorite!
  16. Now Mitch has to figure out what to do with his new lease on life. That land of his must be calling him louder and stronger. But first and foremost, I hope it includes having the gumption to work things out with Will.
  17. Hard for me to add to what everyone’s been saying, so I’ll just congratulate you on building up more than a bridge in this here and now chapter; there’s tension in this clear valley air, pulling lots of different ways. Gonna hold my peace till something snaps. Or someone admits to love, whichever comes first.

    Twenty-One

    Here is the first day in Liam’s story in which there seem to be people who want to help him, rather than judge him. A whole day of not having to look over his shoulder and a good book as a bonus! Things can’t stay that good, can they?
  19. And the price is so much less than on Amazon…

    Chapter 1

    Joe’s life was outlined in tragedy in this story; if only he could have lost his nerve before entering the bank…

    I feel so bad for Liam, it’s hard to remember that this is the best outcome he could have hoped for after his farce of a trial. Rhys did not deserve to die; but neither did Liam deserve the torture that boy fished out. Rhys probably should have seen the inside of a place like this ward; his bullying was pathological. But now it’s Liam who must learn to navigate and survive in this strange new world, where hope might exist, but lies hidden.

    You have run into the hard part of Rick’s life; he’s had multiple strands of difficulty and bad luck. I’m glad that the writing is at least okay. Thanks for your comments. I really do appreciate your thoughts.

    Die Forelle

    Rick is thoroughly hooked. But it may also be that Gus is hooked, too. If only Rick can believe… Thanks for reading, and for your comments.
  24. Mitchell, you’re decidin’ what you think Will ought to feel, which is two kinds of foolishness. Will’s right: you’re wastin’ the days you were given, and all for the sake of your own stubborn sense what you think he should feel. You gotta choose about your own feelings, and nobody else’s: either you love Will still, or you don’t. No pretending you know his future mind on the matter; just figure it out. Soon. Glad to have this little chat. Oh, and Gary? Awesome chapter.

    I’m so glad you enjoyed your time with Rick and Gus. The fun of encountering CJ and Ozzie was a delight to write. Rick did indeed find someone special, but then, so did Gus. If you were able to slip into their world for a while, then I’m very happy indeed. Thanks very much for reading, and for your comments!
