    Into The Valley

    Contrary to @droughtquake 's answer, the sparing use of contractions was deliberate. I think people naturally would use them, but also wanted a certain tone for the language used in this story. I'm glad you're enjoying this story, BB. Thanks very much.

    Lovely Times

    I think it's a good first attempt. If you are truly interested in becoming a better poet, please visit the Live Poet's Society. There are a number of poets on GA ... read their work, talk to us. You can also take a poetry writing course on GA... Writing Poetry: Zero to Hero, A step-by-step guide.

    This is a great chapter. I'm enjoying the story. I am really happy for Clay getting to retire soon and a great life to look forward to.

    As someone who is married and we see other men from time to time, i understand this. For whatever reason, if you are okay with everything as it is, it is normal for you. It took me a long time to be okay with it. But i can truly say now that i am. It is something we share, never done apart. If you and your husband are okay, if you are truly happy as things are, then more power to you, my friend. xo

    Thank you, AC. Thank you for the generous compliment. i only hope i can be placid and calm at the end. Dylan Thomas said do not go gently ... i think we need to fight as long as we can, but there comes a point, when it is time to allow life's flow to take us peacefully. And we need to accept it, both for ourselves and the ones who, hopefully, sit in vigil. We were walking home from voting on a windy bright day when the first one came to me.. happened. I remembered what you often say ... it's little things and memories we, as poets, need to record. The little bits that make up life. Your words came to me as the wind picked up and made a vortex of bright leaves. oxooxox

    I suppose it could ... sometimes it seems more like a chore, but not always. But i still feel compelled to write ... i sort of wait for the day when i won't. xo

    In Winter

  18. Awwww ... sorry you're hurting. This weather doesn't help. A hot drink and a couple of aspirin ... then wrap up warm and go to the store for more cream. I use Voltaren too. Waaaay cheaper at Costco, if you know anyone with a membership.

  20. Autumn Around me today flew a tornado of leaves Each orange, red or gold, the colours of autumn The changing of seasons isn’t sad to me It’s just another year of stories to be told There I am in my skeletal remains each day more of me falls away peeled away by me or just rotten Words fly, like a murmuration of starlings and seem to matter less as does all and everything I feel little, care less, as flesh loosens life means little important
