Elethiel (A Fairy Tale)
northie commented on Dolores Esteban's story chapter in Elethiel (A Fairy Tale)
Fairies are not a figment of our imagination - possibly ... As other people have said, sweet. -
Thanks, my friend. They're sort of universal experiences, aren't they?
-
Glad you enjoyed them, Val. Work, fortunately, was quite bearable - unlike our old building where we would've been a puddle. Cool is definitely better than hot.
-
Thanks, Gary. Only working part-time now, commuting every day is something I don't miss one little bit ...

Tempt me with honeyed words This so suggests the Song of songs to me. In fact, all of it has that same sensual quality. Wonderful.
-
I startled myself with just how much I could manage to pack into 500 words. Sad? Yes, to some degree. Their lives are pared down to what's needed for survival. Thanks for reading!

My friend, your creative vitality, generosity, passion have inspired and educated this newbie writer. You still have all those things and so much else to offer here and in real life. I hope that you are able to leave your anxiety behind you as you recover.

linger and craving - that point in a cinquain where it comes to rest is so important, and those two words are wonderful. Such thoughts and desires ...
-
yet you were the greater fool to choose me. Err ... Not that I'm taking sides or anything. Wonderful, sensual writing. So much description, imagery packed into so few words. It's what I like about cinquains.
-
Wonderful! I repeat my praise of your conversations.. The entire scene felt so natural - humour, love, and remembering. A pleasure to read in so many ways.
-
I’m still breathing - yes, you are, and once you've adjusted to your new meds, hopefully these thoughts will fade into the background. You're too bloody minded to do anything but survive, tim. For which, I and many other people, give thanks.
-
This'll do as your shiny for the day, won't it? Happy Birthday, Val!
-
I'm glad you have Michael to help you, support you, and love you. I wish you better days ahead, tim.

'shadows who just survive'. This line immediately made me think of all of those who don't survive. Murdered by individuals or the judicial process through ignorance and intolerance. There has been such progress in many parts of the world but not all by any means. Your dedication is perfect.
-
Wonderful! Often I have no idea where my inspiration comes from. Hmm... maybe there's a market for a forensic muse?
-
A new form which you use with such dramatic strength. The present tense prose draws me in - I am almost sitting beside you - and then your poetic reflections are so redolent of your feelings and observations. Your mum and who she is and what she means to you, shines through the whole of this wonderful piece. Revisiting this piece, its power to move me to tears has not lessened one jot. You found the perfect form - for your feelings, and to engage each and every reader in your life and that of your mum.

Daisies are so small but also strong, bright, and a bringer of hope, perhaps. Thanks for reading, Puppi!
-
Who knows? Was it ever there in the first place? Yes, not the happiest of my stories but one I'm very fond of.
-
I was determined to make it into a complete story - which is where the last sentence came in. Thanks, Gary.
-
And daisies are so cheerful, the yellow and white speak of summer and warmth. Glad you enjoyed it, dugh.
-
Possibly ... though I'm happy with how it is, for the moment, at least. Thanks for the praise.

Hi, Go to Stories and then click on the Advanced Search option on the RH menu. Untick the box that says Any which then gives you a drop down menu. Click on Complete which should then register when you do your search.

A daisy isn't fashionable or showy but it is still pretty. Thanks, Drew, I'm pleased it made you think.
