Re: Glove Box

There is also a sweet meaning were you to swap the words, "You" with "We" or "Us."

Can you tell I'm missing my husband?

Re: Edibles & Mead

After drinking a gift of homemade mead with a friend tonight, this is what I ended up with. It seemed like a good idea at the time.  In the morning, I fear a palm to the forehead reaction from myself and firm talking to from the sensible among us, meaning you. Why I thought it would be okay to do so...

Edibles & Mead

Edibles & Mead A writer delves into the depths of a character’s being. Comes out a different person, a rebuilt soul. The crux of empathy, tragedy, reality, imagination and fear. The essence of hope and misguided missiles Thin threads that bind... we weave threads for a dare to promise a promise to ...

Re: Better Than This

Fun read. It ended with a chuckle from me. This also brought back memories. Remember Carol Merrill and the fur coats from Dicker and Dicker of Beverly Hills?

Re: Spectacle of Death

Good lord, Deb... you have much pain and loss and memories to chew on.  I hurt for you........... Been thinking about S5-L4 in "Spectacle of Death".  Perhaps "before regret-filled sighs"........... just a thought.  I do like the way S5 continues and broadens the thoughts in S4. Take a breath... and...

Re: sign language

Dave, You've done a beautiful job of cleverly weaving the drought theme in a decaying environment. I enjoyed this and will return to read it again. I wonder if leaving out, "the" in the last line would give it a bigger punch. Just a thought. It works fine as it is.  You've painted a colorfully, som...

Re: Glove Box

I enjoy a love poem that doesn't drip the word, love.

Re: Spectacle of Death

Wow. Thanks, you guys. I'm feeling encouraged. I will come back to this but my brain needs to soak in yet three more deaths that I learned of today. I was notified my ex-boyfriend's parents passed away three days apart from each other on December 27th and December 30th. He and I lived together for o...

Re: Spectacle of Death

  When I post, I'm not aware of whether I'm posting my efforts or posting a vent because when I'm venting it feels good, therefore it sounds, not too awfully bad. If I do not post it, and there is hope but it is bad,  I won't get feedback. At the same time, some things are not worthy of wasting peop...
