"White Winged (Revised) from pandemic" 

Response to the pandemic and events like this fully speak to our mortality (existentialism), feeling left behind in that wake.

Don’t linger in the dark past day break.

I truly wish you'd post more often as you've been 'quiet' around here. Remember "Shadows and Light"... you've won it before and for good reason. Regardless, good to see you post.
Hello Brian,
I stopped by and browsed today. Subsequently, purchased Such Longing, Kudos on the excellent reviews you have written.
Take care,

Perhaps have a couple to choose from. Many contests here are so narrow that I don't bother to enter. That and I'm tired of cliche.
Congratulations once again my good friend.*Smile*
Hope to see you blog soon. *Care*
Seems like you were missing in action for quite a while. Hope all is well. *Smile*

I should describe her in night, lit by shore fire. Another time.
Beyond ‘mid’, aiming for slightly above average.

Yet, something is holding me down. *Brain*


I don’t know why…

I held math out of the equation and got:

When the coefficients of one variable are opposites you add the equations to eliminate a variable and when the coefficients of one variable are equal you subtract the equations to eliminate a variable.

Brian K Compton Is The Name - Huh? *Worry* No, never mind. I read this more slowly and lights started blinking on in my brain...Now the dust and grime up there is visible. Blech! *Bucket* *Dustpan* *Broom*

Winter and seasonal nostalgia unexpectedly mixed one day for a lone viewer.

Tough but fun title to work with for the Writer's Cramp. I think I'll edit this in future to not lean so heavy into title or reference in poem.

Thinking of something more wintry, Christmas-y to play with, when time permits.

I'm scouting for a new iPad, since the old one got tired of joining me for long soaks in the tub.

Winter is always

Not much. How ‘bout you?

Lots to ponder when there’s nothing better to do.
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not... nothing is more common than unsuccessful people will talent. Genius will not... unrewarded genius is almost legendary. Education will not... . the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."
-- Calvin Coolidge

35 reviews from this educated genius. *Laugh* …or…
Derelicts at the switchboard.


I got to see how fudge is made. Making a batch right now.

My problem is when persistence and determination are a person's only defining characteristics. Determination should come in addition to talent, not be a substitute for it.
Now I just need to do 10 more Anniversary reviews. Although I could do more. If anybody’s having an anniversary, hit me up.
