I tend not to be very appreciative of form....primarily because it is often the case that the thought (the words) get lost in trying to maintain form (and isn't that the purpose
of writing -- to write and express)....
I think so! I know so! This an exquisite piece of work my friend, and I applaud
your ability to write of such a beautiful purpose and still maintain the form.
Truly exceptional! I am reviewing this for consideration of the North Star
Award as determined by the Circle of Sisters from our 2009 "Rising Stars Shining
Brighter" Winners! Thank you for your entry and I wish you all the best!
I found this quite intriguing....the use of limerick.....and yet in describing
the most wondrous of all the gifts we have to enjoy.

I've often wondered what they thought.........if they realized immediately all that they had lost......or were they so filled with their own pride and ego that they never looked back.........and only after years did they even try to remember......
Great job of painting a picture of both innocense and regret!
I am reviewing this piece for the Fields of Poetry competition as was hosted by our dear and gentle friend Lawrence. Thank you and good luck with the contest.
Often I read, and I wonder where a person's thoughts were when they were writing.......how did these words find their way to you? Was it a moment of reflection or a moment of boredom? I'm left unsure.......
I am reviewing this piece for the Fields of Poetry competition as was hosted by our dear and gentle friend Lawrence. Thank you and good luck with the contest.
Sometimes I find myself at a total loss for words. An item speaks to me........finds its way to my solitary soul......and it is truly as if the words were always coming to find me.
This is just that kind....and I am in awe of your talents!

Did you know that nearly 40% of all homeless individuals are veterans? How sad that we have developed the ability to turn away from the same person who carried our grief and fought our monsters....
There are many aspects to your piece....those dealing with fatherless children and unappreciated souls.... You've done a good job with seeing the common thread in this walk through life....and a wonderful job of understanding that there is always a way home!

I must admit that I am typically not a fan of form. it's not that I don't appreciate the discipline involved....it's just that I stumble over words without understanding the heart that moves the writer to write!
You have made a fool of my head with this wonderful display of both word and form!!
Exceptional! Thank you for entering this Rising Stars Shining Brigher Contest! Good luck!!!
Each month, I try to find the right place for reviewing of the entries for our Rising Stars Shining Brighter Contest. I try to set the mood with a perfect day, a great cup of coffee, and lots of time......
Sometimes that works. Other times, it's the first item I read that sets the stage for all the others. You have indeed set the bar high, my friend.......and I am delighted to have found your entry first.......
Exceptional work. I am sure that your daughter is touched by your kindness, and by the gift that you have given her with these words.
Thank you for entering this month's contest, and good luck!!!
We're all working our way to the same place........although our maps may be different.........and our lanterns faded by time and grief..........we shall all find the shore of home!
I am reading and reviewing this for the October Rising Stars Shining Brighter Contest. Outstanding work, my friend. Good luck with the contest.
There's a place down by the creek where the deer have passed, on quiet footfalls........and the morning glory earns her name.... There is a past filled with tadpoles and treehouses.......summer swimming holes & life!

I certainly believe that God has created a special place (a golder bit of heaven) for the soldiers....for those whose love was greater than their fear!
I am reading and reviewing this for the October Rising Stars Shining Brighter Contest. Outstanding work, my friend. Good luck with the contest.
I suppose it my association with Emily....or perhaps I could blame it on being born on the cusp between Libra and Scorpio (balance and madness).....but words such as these are always my favorite. I have fondness for the dark that bears the scent of hope....

This was a well written story.........and I wondered afterward whether she made it to the promised land or not. How many (I wonder) find themselves facing death for a chance at new life................... I suspect more than we will ever know.

Although I typically do not enjoy reading short stories, I was intrigued by this tale. I was hanging on as she slid beneath the desk. Your capture of the media blurbs was true to form and added an additional twist to your story.

I am intrigued with your use of words and color.......the painting of nature........
This reminded me of a picture I happened on recently.........a girl sitting atop a bed with a book open before her...........butterflies spilling from the pages.
You've done a wonderful job with this piece and I applaud your creativity.

Seldom are words sufficient to honor those who have passed before............would there be a light that could shine enough that we no longer grieve? I think not.
Your words are a fine tribute to a loved statesman. I was a little confused by the <sum> on the last line....but that may just be an editing issue. Regardless, this is excellent work.

I was intrigued with the title....and wondered for a moment if you might have stepped beyond the 'comfort' barriers for our contest..........
You write well of the climb up the ladder.......and the loneliness that sometimes awaits us at the top!!! Epecially for women...........it's so easy to rest on our good lucks.........when that's not what will give us the most fulfillment! Well done!
