Savannah Haze, about Letters Let Her Go:
let me give you a trick that got a ghost out of my bed forever: I took a fitted sheet and drew the CSI dead body on the floor image in permanent pen on the sheet on the side of the bed where that "ghost" had been still sleeping for months. Made me freaked out enough that evening that I slept on the floor and bought new, and very colorful sheets the next day. It's reverse therapy kinda like folks use to quit smoking...each time they crave a cig, they lick a used ashtray instead. Doesn't take long before all the ashtrays are clean or tossed out in the house. Memorable work from you, SH ...... Rennie

musicalduck, about to my musician:
waiting has familials called termites that eat away at the foundation of any relationship. there are ways to be together even with time and distance, but take more than a "trust me" for the majority of folks. give your heart, take a ring, make a pledge of real fidelity and trust, rather than fear a real partner. Your work is thought-provoking to get me to comment like this. Thanks for the nudge toward deeper meaning of what it takes to be together ...... Rennie
callaphair, about Whimper:
isn't it sad that we eventually know someone far better than they may ever know themselves...and we feel a pang at sending them away, like a goat off into the desert with the lions and jackals...I remember that goat had horns, and often used them...helped me pick a better critter. Not to make light of your pain here, but a way to reflect on my own; I understand your sadness as it reads in this work ...... Rennie
redplasticroses, about The Artist:
WOW.I was reading this in a restaurant in China.I had to fake a coughing fit as a reason for my eyes filling up.Possiby the most moving piece I,ve read here.
aparajita: just caught that "mine, all mine" post :-). You know, like over at my place, if ya claim it, ya gotta clean and dust it...and the technical problems cause a bunch of cobwebs at times.
On the summer love challenge, I still tear up over "Groovy Kinda Love" and "Summer Place" that bring memories of a few summers (years) with someone I still hammer far too often in ragged verse here ...... Rennie

Rens sorry I have been out of pocket too. Two weeks till the birthday party for Dad. We are getting excited. Took a shopping trip with my sister yesterday and found a lot of things we needed. I am in charge of flowers so I have to come up with a walapolooza centerpiece for all the catered food.
That is priceless! I am simultaneously laughing, cringing and applauding you! :)
