Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed. I know you hate cliches and honestly I've been looking forward to your response. I was worried about if you'd be disappointed
-
Awestruck fear sounds like the right reaction to Orin. He'll be pleased with that.
-
So. If we wrote something on this theme, is there a particular protocol for posting?

700 strikes against Shane
Starrynight22 commented on Mrsgnomie's story chapter in 700 strikes against Shane
Give it another chance. -
Having moved into my small condo, tucked on the fringes of the newly gentrified neighborhood, just a couple weeks before I didn't know many neighbors yet. That's why I was startled early in October on my own front stoop by a hoot of “good morning” yodeled by a woman dressed as a peacock. I'm sure the expression on my face looked rude as hell, but it's not the sort of thing the average suburban dude expects at early o'clock on a Tuesday. The woman, who I vaguely remember is named Jean or Jo maybe

A new place brings more than Steven bargains for.

Sebastian seems like he is manipulating Noah. Do not like.

Yay they can hear each other. So. The Dean knew??? What the heck

Omg Rob a new story! And seeing Eli and Rex.....just awesome. I'm glad Rex found a pastel polo wearing bear chaser of his own. Thank you for writing this.

Um. Nothing bad is going to happen to my snowball yorkie right??? RIGHT?

Thanks Gary. I was trying to convey how fresh and new the relationship was, without either person having to say so. I was pretty happy making the idea of "yesterday" taking the blame for saying what I needed to say.

"Hello, all! I worked on translating a Tanka by Ōgai Mori this afternoon. Do you think my version makes for a compelling poem...? I'm hoping it does, but I'm not so sure. Let poetry be Like a crystal bowl of ice; Allow it to seem Inviting and transparent, With no spots of doubt showing. " - I like this AC. where it should be inviting and transparent is really meaningful to me. I get stuck in poems where everything is so clouded in metaphor and "poetic language" that it seems heavy. And sure making room to leave certain meanings up to the reader is good and a hallmark of poetry. But perhaps you've come across poetry where the meaning seems buried so deep you would need a shovel and strong back to find it.

Finding tomorrows in the clouds of a sky made like a deep blue bowl, overturned and filled with sunshine that melts us as summer skies do My hands tangle with your hair and your smiles snare my heart. The clouds go blithely on as clouds do Tomorrow I have many plans but here with you its safe to say that it'll be nothing like yesterday expected

Ahhhhmaayyyyzing!!!!! So. He can hear Lexus. Is this not common then?
-
Ha. I knew we shouldn't trust him. Let me get my popcorn ready
-
I love this so far. I like all kinds of shifter stories. I'm a bit perturbed at how easily Lexus promises not to use commands on him, when literally the day before he was being a super creep. Can we trust him?

Thank you for reading it. I'm glad you liked it. Sometimes it's not a big thing that breaks us. Its the last tiny shard in a parade of small hurts.
-
Wow. Thank you. I must say sharing it so far has been beyond my expectations. And as for the tone, I'll admit that When I first wrote this, depression was enmeshed in every part of me. Everything was dark and empty, until it wasn't. Then it was dark and terrifyingly full. Too full, and it swept me under. But quietly. And sometimes I think we all face that deeply scary quiet place, where the tiniest sound cracks across and ruins you. Thank you for the comments. I'm amazed at how others are getting into this piece.

I think I'm better at poetry than stories lol
-
That something I've written gives another person cause to pause and reflect is amazing. And I take it as very high praise. Thanks for letting me know how it came across.
-
Thank you Tim
-
I hope it's not the Doberman.
-
Thank you. I'm happy it took you to a good place. And yes. Its one of the Outlander books I reference. (can't remember which number.....maybe the 4th one?) I've read them all many many times. I'm thrilled you picked up on it.

I read a book once With a conversation about what God's laughter sounds like. The Major insists It is the thunder Booming and crashing over the world But Jamie feels like I do. That His laughter is a verra wee sound indeed. It is very quiet now. But all I have heard these last few days is a skittering tinkle of a soft universal laugh. Such a tiny thing. It fills up my existence And it shatters me completely.

Poems. They won't necessarily be connected to one another.
