Greetings, Brian, and it's a pleasure to read your work again for I Write 2025 *Smile*

This is an easier to follow narrative than your deeply personal blog entries, anyway. I at first thought of the basketball courtyard and wondered if it was a sports metaphor. But it's a straightforward love story: the narrator sadly watches other couples proposing in the beauty of that special place, knowing his own was somehow unfulfilled. I believe the relationship faltered because of barrenness, but the ending renews hope that even without the longed-for child, the lovers find solace in each other.

This is such a touching poem, saying so much in so little. I would like to babble a little about my pet project, Reflections. I've written so many heavy emotions and dramatic moments into it, and there's still several serious themes left. It's like a soap opera. I've had to navigate my main character and his wife through heartbreak, pain, death, crime, loss, the multiverse and a few more lighthearted moments. They've healed, recovered, forgiven and reconciled several times. Poor Dan should be suffering from PTSD by now, and likely his wife as well... Which makes me think. I need to include as much depth as possible as the overarching narrative reaches a conclusion... It shouldn't just be a gathering of crazy detective action stories. There needs to be some character development, change, growth, maturity reached. And yet, each story has to be independent of the others, able to be read coherently on its own. It's harder, even, than a novel *Crazy* But it's so incredibly fun *Delight*

Well, I've managed to write more about myself than your poem *Blush* I should be blogging, with all this blather *Laugh* I guess that means you're inspiring me *Heartt* This was a fine read, I really appreciated it.

Take care, thanks for sharing, and keep writing *HeartT*
