Thank you, Baby Rose. Again, I am behind reading here. Hope to catch-up this weekend on the board and new submissions ...... Rennie
Violet, about quarter life crisis:
Oh, dear violet,
when my child was born my husband and I looked at her, our eyes glued every second and watched this little infant grow at an extremely rapid pace and we too panicked wanting to savor every sweet moment and never wanting it to end, but you will soon see that there is beauty in ever stage and without growth, you will never see your deeply rendered love grow into something so special. This is what completes us and allows us to see pieces of ourselves in another's eyes so that they may carry us on and when she has children of her own, she will go through the same thing but you will be there to comfort her. This is a perfectly natural cycle to go through after all pregnancy, birth, and child rearing are completely emotional and
traumatic things within themselves. Beautifully written....
here's some halloween fun!!

Thank you so much for the compliment! You are ever so kind. :-)
aparajita - that halloween game was amusing. the animation of the skeleton was entertaining. though im not very good at hangman so after one game well the ol skeleton had to die again. i feel like i've failed the poor skeleton in some way..... thanks for sharing though.
rennielorca, about STILL NEAR, MY DEAR: wow, i agree with baby_rose. breathtaking, a short beautiful punch to the gut.
Ali, about An October Song: oh my. wow. this is fantastically written. i loved every word of this. your talent makes me a tad jealous. beautiful.
CJ King, about I Want the World to Stop: owwwwww. this hurts so bad. i must say though, quite enjoyable. "I see life laugh around me" i don't know why but i really loved this line.
Marshall Hann, about A Piece Of The Pieces:
This is simply exquisite. Truly well-written. Heartbreaking and brilliant. I can relate to a lot of the emotions in the piece. Thank you for sharing it. :-)
Marshall Hann, about A Piece Of The Pieces: viscerally, i feel this. personally. here's to healing.
