Review of What Eyes Betray  

Review by fyndorianMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
Wow. After reading your review of dancing sticks, I had to come check out your port. (I also read your review to my hubby (my drummer) - He too got a big kick out of it!)

I am so glad I meandered through a portion of your port. I shall return!

Some people hear what is being said.
Others hear what is being swallowed.

So true and so well said! Then to follow up with even more truths--

Because in the end, that is the loneliness of people who see too much: not that we misunderstand emotions, but that we constantly have to pretend we understand less than we truly do.

Review of The Flautist in the Subway  

Review by fyndorianMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
Samn you are so, so good! Love the line near the beginning -- It will take a while before the angels can use them to convert my breath through the flute into a message telling anyone who cares to listen that they are not alone. --Wow. Just wow!

But then, you already know how I love the way you write, how you string your words together!

I'm using this in my For Authors Newsy this week...You epitomize what I write about in it!! ~fyn

Review of Watercolor Memories  

Review by fyndorianMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
~~Watercolor has a way of moving on its own, bleeding and softening, refusing to stay inside the lines we give it. Memory is like that too.

What absolutely STELLAR lines! A super piece and it gives the reader a photo or painting (!) if you will, of the character every bit as much as the picture she took and the picture she painted. Well crafted!

I'm using thin in my For Authors Newsletter this week. ~fyn

Review of TOMBOY  

Review by fyndorianMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.5)
I found this to be quite interesting. I too, was called 'a Tomboy'. My brain went to Tom Sawyer! Different people have different sticking points! *smile* I was the weird one, the one who never fit in, who wasn't 'pretty' or skinny or popular with the boys. I remember my grandmother telling me to 'just be myself, and don't worry about what anyone else thins.' She was right. I reconnected with one of those 'cool kids' a few years ago. She said she's led a perfectly okay life unlike me who's traveled the world, is published and 'done' things. She said I'm even better than being one of the cool kids!-- She's right too! LOL

Using this in my poetry newsletter this week! ~fyn

Review of Wild Flowers  

Review by fyndorianMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
Hi Rhyssa!

LOVED this poem! I especially liked:
a battalion of irises
led by a peony captain,
a company of tulips
standing at attention—
their foe
a subtle, guerilla force,
hiding between blades of grass
to erupt in sudden attack—
a foxglove offensive,
violet bruises,
poppy blood,

I'm using it in this weeks For Authors Newsletter! ~fyn

Review of The moon...She IS  

Review by fyndorianMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
Mmmm. Enjoyed this!
Most especially these lines!!!!
Maybe it’s that
she has the quiet power
to guide the lost—
drunks on sidewalks,
widows at windows,
men who swear they’re fine
with shaking hands,
and me,
tracing my reflection
in the kitchen window at 3 a.m.
