    Real Friends

    Backwoods Boy commented on Mikiesboy's story chapter in Real Friends

    It seems to me that e-Friends who share themselves through poetry are more "real" than 3D-Friends who share only their physical presence. Thanks for sharing so much of yourself.

    I read this earlier today and thought about it for a while, particularly the third, which raises some interesting issues about who we are and where we came from. Thanks for giving me something to think about. I went away a little less cynical. Progress

    Thanks for another glimpse into your happy life in Thailand. May your adventure continue for a very long time
  4. Backwoods Boy
    Somehow I missed this one. I love the vivid pictures of this annual celebration and of your life in Thailand.

    Sometimes I blissfully forget how gender roles were so well spelled out. A girl in a shop class or a boy in Home Economics was a non-starter. That kid has pretty long hair for that day and age. Obviously gay. Real men had crew-cuts.

    I love all of these, and congratulate you on creating a meaningful poem for every day of the month. And thank you for making me laugh when I found (WTF!) April 31. My favorite is April 25 - it is such a vivid portrait of the suddenness of spring. And I'm continually enthralled with the Skyscraper - and your varied uses of it. Thanks for your contribution to today and several days, as these need to be read more than once.

    I'm looking forward to reading your poems

    Higher 17

    Backwoods Boy commented on WolfM's story chapter in Higher 17

    Incredibly well-expressed. I have a few Cassidy-like relatives. They are gone from my life forever (and my Last Will and Testament too, by the way), and I'm much better off without them.

    Oh, yes, I do relate to Drudgery. Thanks very much for sharing these thoughts.

    Thank you for your all of your efforts to make this work. As a "first timer", it's been fun

    As informative about biblical guidelines as its predecessor, If Dr Seuss Had Written Leviticus. Don't miss either one.

    As spot-on and utterly delightful as its predecessor poem. The only reason for keeping a "Holy Bible" on your shelf is for research, comic relief, and the pornography contained therein. I brought this up first thing this morning because I knew it would leave me laughing for the rest of the day. And Dr. Seuss would be as pleased with the parody as I am of the content.

    I love them all, but April 4 the most, I think. And April 1 strikes home today, with snow falling at elevations where I rode through the woods on my bicycle two days ago. An enjoyable mix of form and subject matter. Thank you for sharing yourself once again.

    Old Coats

    Backwoods Boy commented on Parker Owens's story chapter in Old Coats

    Thanks for sharing your memories and yourself through an interesting history of outer garments we take so much for granted. Do memories exist in our minds or in the objects that surround us? Mine isn't in my closet, but I may find it somewhere else...

    Chapter 1

    Backwoods Boy commented on Bill W's story chapter in Chapter 1

    That's a wonderful commentary on how dreams mature, eventually envisioning possibilities in the unknown future, and then doing one's best in the realities in which one finds oneself. Thanks for your contribution to the anthology - and to the exploration of dreams.

    What I Found

    Backwoods Boy commented on raven1's story chapter in What I Found

    I love these, Terry. You reveal so much of yourself and your experiences in such a delightfully inspiring way. The positive experiences of a new life and a new love come through perfectly in the first two, and the third made me laugh out loud. Tradition be damned, that is a wonderful way to reaffirm the points you've already made. Sort of an executive-summary Haiku - you may start a new tradition. You inspire me to be similarly unconventional

    Now, not that you would ever think of misleading your readers or anything like that 🙄, but this does seem to be a very, very broad hint... 🤔 [Disclaimer: Unlike @Carlos Hazday, I don't have any inside information - yet. ]

    A well-formulated reminder that every day is a choice to be made, and that exploration of life should never end.

    For anyone who has ever been "over the river and through the woods to Grandmother's house", this magical, lyrical tale will take you right back there. And for those who missed that experience, this eloquent reminiscence will fill in the gap perfectly.

    To whom do we owe appreciation for the beautiful anthology story image?

    Dishes & Snacks

    Backwoods Boy commented on Aditus's story chapter in Dishes & Snacks

    It was a tossup between "❤️" and "😂". I decided to add the latter in a comment. The descriptions were delightful and humorous and, for the most part, enticing. As one who eats simply at home, I won't begin to try to guess.

    Chapter 1

    Backwoods Boy commented on Valkyrie's story chapter in Chapter 1

    Thanks for sharing your past and giving us this vivid journey back in time.
  24. Backwoods Boy
    An excellent reminder that exploration never ends. Thanks for sharing this, Wolf Pup.

    Chapter 1

    Backwoods Boy commented on Parker Owens's story chapter in Chapter 1

    Beautiful. There are places in memory where one only needs to close one's eyes and one is there, and life is once again worth living.
