Thank you for these gentle poems of memory and recollection.

Thanks so much both for reading and for your response. I can only hope that you and many of us will have conversations about the small signs of defiance we see and plant around us every day.

We seem indeed bereft of heroes in this moment. That last line you speak of reflects the fear I have for myself and for many. Thanks again.

Art may soothe, inspire, resist and defy. It helps to write, still more it helps to know one is not alone. Thanks for reading, and for your encouraging words.

I’m glad Defiance spoke to you. We will need to be defiant together for some time to come.

Thank you. I’m glad you read them. I hope someone feels they make a difference.

You’re most welcome. I’m grateful you read and reacted to these, and that they resonated with you.

A skyscraper here refers to the poetry form, rather than an actual building. The crazed, cruel, creatures are those who would prey upon us for their own advantage. I’m glad that you found these interesting. Thank you very much for reading and commenting.

It’s good to see more of Liam’s life evolving. Why was that woman staring? It’s probably nothing, but one never fully knows. I can’t imagine Liam wanting to leave Ed behind. Ed seems to be able to help Liam get a better grip on the world. They’re stronger together.

An excellent thriller of a chapter, in which much is revealed, and the evil ones are apprehended. Better still, Thomas and Brendon are finally able to be themselves and make each other stronger.

And so the tale ends. Seth’s spirit can rest. Jake can heal. Killian and Asher can be what they were meant to be. Thanks for this story.

The good guys are mobilizing against an evil empire. You have me on edge, waiting for the fireworks to begin.

We’ll done. A heart-in-the-throat thriller of a chapter.
