Good stuff you write. Been married a while, haven't you?

Going Fishing (Short Story) - 12/4/2007 4:09:24 PM
This is a painful reminder of the evening I took my own father off to a nursing home. I have often wondered why it fell to me to have to do such a thing, but it had to be. The doctor said if I didn't, he was going to hurt my mother. Did he know inside that I was the one? If so, did he forgive me? Will I ever find the needed answers to such questions? You have actually set me to thinking about what was on my father's mind that evening in September of '97, if anything at all. At the time, I was certain he didn't know. How could he? After all, on the way there, he looked over at me and said, "Who are you, anyway?" "David," I said, "I'm your son." "Well, I'll swear...I didn't know that," was his reply. Those words will ring in my ears until the day I'm laid to rest.

Mr. Simmons, you've written a sharp, sympathetic story about a vital issue we're facing today. My late grandmother struggled with Alzheimer's Disease for years before passing. You've handled the topic well.

I see one of your characters gave you a review. Interesting twist. It would make you wonder who is nuts. The story was well-done both from the perspectives of the elderly victem and his family. You shared good understanding with informative and entertaining story telling.

Hahahahahahaha. I spent half of my English class reading this fucking terrible story. You don't capture Alzheimers at all. All that comes across is your love of mama's food, who you then fucked Freud style
Going Fishing (Short Story) - 3/16/2003 1:36:05 PM
so sad this one; alzheimer's disease is a cruel affliction, and you caught what the person with alzheimer's goes through. outstanding write! (((HUGS))) and love, a new friend in texas, karen lynn. :)

This is wonderful! You really tell a good story. A fine example for me, having only just begun.

Roger,
Such a real moment between two people. Feels very serious, as if they're about to break things off. Great sounds and tone to this write. Hugs~

Roger,
A vivid picture from these lines. The last line is powerful; you capture the passion we have when we first conceive a dream. Hugs:)

Insecure when she is with you and you have noticed all those things. This is an absolutely beautiful description of your residence and wind chime porpoises are so tingling. Your observation of these things is brought to us in poetry and very well appreciated.

Grandeur at its best. Good write, short but delightful.
TooOld (Poetry) - 5/15/2008 11:42:26 PM
Not too old if you want a new love. Nursing home patients have found love too and marriage goes on there too. My Love Tom died but I do not wish to find new love. Was very happy with him and had it all.

Hope she took her anger out on the chair and not you when she got it home. Anger can hurt too. Hope it is better days now for you.

Roger,
I have read that a miner's life was very hard and unimaginable to those of us who pass our days in the light. This was very powerful and really, not only a tribute to your grandfather, but to those who shared his dangerous work.
Thank you for sharing this.

The Primal Need (Poetry) - 1/10/2008 4:49:21 AM
I am new to this site, but I must say, I am glad I joined. Your imagery and phrases "love sick Lazarus" very gripping. Took me somewhere else for the length of the poem. Thank you.

Cut bait?
Very "visual" poem. It was a pleasure for the senses but painful for the heart.
Nicely done.

I Will (Poetry) - 4/16/2007 9:24:23 AM
in response to mari's reflection, the only thing we're promised in life is death. there is no new beginning for every ending. just because life and death are cyclical in society doesnt mean there will always be new life to counter death
