Reach for the Moon (Book) - 2/13/2009 3:55:32 PM
After having had the privilege of reading your work for a number of years, I knew this collection could be nothing less than spectacular. Your poems are filled with your own journeys and that of your vivid imagination. Your words are both simple and complex as we need them to be. They allow us our own interpretations and to be touched. What greater gift can a writer give her readers!

Reach for the Moon (Book) - 8/15/2008 12:38:24 PM
A single poem or story by Marcia Miller-Twiford can take a reader into depths of literary grace, beauty, and wisdom that few ever expect to encounter simply by giving their attention to words. With that in mind, it takes little to imagine how thrilling one may find it to sit down with this aptly titled volume, REACH FOR THE MOON, and blissfully enjoy one page after another, not only achieving that poetic flight to the moon, but traveling far beyond into glittering galaxies of the author's brilliant mind, heart, and soul.

Absolutely gripping story, Marcia. You drew me into it from the start. I love the Victorian style of houses, and everything to do with that era. Loved every line of your tale! Can't wait for the sequel. Bravo!!!!!

As I am one of those paranormal interested nut, this story sounds vaguely known, like a deja vu.
There will be those that will tell you about fiction, but my dear, fiction hasn't a chance against realities twisted mysteries.

A Family Dinner (Short Story) - 11/20/2009 3:00:35 AM
Short stories with an emotional twist to tell us that humanity hasn't lost it all, that, among all the commercialism tender qualities still live inside the hearts of many...even on Christmas.
Georg

hah! -- ah, hah! -- wretched little PC! -- a kilowatt of fun concealed in a slender unassuming frame? -- hard drive and all -- this is too funny Marcia Miller -- it reminds me of some of the travails of one of our dear friends with a fickle computer, he had not taken for granted though -- and still she forsook him -- peace and love my dear friend -- Jon Michael

The Fury (Short Story) - 9/10/2009 12:55:35 AM
Oh...! but I have a perfect symbiosis with mine, I hate her and she hates me. Sometimes she freezes me out and then, just out of pure and unadulterated rage I pull her plug with an insane pleasure to teach the bitch a lesson!!!!!!!! hahahahahahahaha!!!

All The Generations That Were (Short Story) - 2/24/2009 9:39:26 AM
I think you penned this especially for those who, like me, feel the voices and moods of cherished icons from our histories. There is a depth of spirit in that. Nice piece Sweetie :-)

Perfect, Marcia. This is one important thing that we CAN do to protect each other.

well done
Mass Mailings Courtesy (Article) - 3/30/2009 12:58:39 PM
Dear Marcia, we should have been advised of this trick before, because we had been forwarding each other with tons of e-mail addressed, no wonder we get those spams by the zillions.
Thank you very much
Georg
Footprints...A New Version (Article) - 3/18/2009 2:51:33 AM
Oh my! it wasn't me, I can't dance, Oh well! maybe I was the musician giving the tones...
Great writes from Lew and from you, that punch line kind of floored the reader, (say what???! ! ! )
Georg
Footprints...A New Version (Article) - 3/17/2009 5:32:58 PM
Ah, Sweetie, you made me laugh with this one. Very nicely told and with a brilliant punch line (Lew Duffey's wit is shining through) :-)

I shy from anything that's sooooooooo popular, I like cozy little places where everybody knows everybody. It will cost exposure but at least one have peace of mind.

My prayers and blessings on Marge's family.
Marge Tindal (Article) - 1/30/2009 11:37:01 PM
Going and scanning Marge's memorial Guestbook really shows how well known and well respected she was. Her passing was/is a genuine loss to us and to the literary community. I think we need a new rule on AD and on TWF -- Henceforth, members are not allowed to pass away.
Ted

Very sorry for this. She's with God now . . . blessings!!

Rest in Peace? (Poetry) - 11/24/2009 10:08:35 PM
We are always told that the streets of heaven are paved with gold. If heaven has streets, and Jesus went toprepare us a room in His father's house, then there is no repose in heaven, but one party after another for all eternity. Your poem makes us all think about that little phrase, "rest in peace" and what it truly means. Thank you for sharing.
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and who love you, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your den sister, Barbie.

Your dreams of the "beyond here and now" are intriguing. Oh what joy to think we might all dance with the butterflies and run through fields of wildflowers. Nice pen.

They also say, "Let light perpetual shine upon them."
Like you go to some great tanning salon in the sky.
I like a night once in a while, see some stars, build a fire.
Candles are fine.
They will bury me with a visor.
Never one for the spot light,
John

Being Thankful (Poetry) - 11/18/2009 4:26:16 AM
"...thankful to the stranger that smiled at me..." to be thankful is to have the heart in the right place, to appreciate all the little mercies that are bestowed upon us. To be thankful is to say that we appreciate God's blessings.
Georg
Being Thankful (Poetry) - 11/18/2009 1:25:13 AM
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful and inspiring poem. Oftentimes when we give thanks we forget some of those you remember in your poem. BTW, feast is spelled incorrectly in the last line of the first stanza.
Being Thankful (Poetry) - 11/17/2009 9:47:48 PM
