This is a great piece, Miranda. Your light touch is both enjoyable and effective.

Having worked for the MDA, I must say this hits very close to home. Keep up the good work.

Beautiful, poetic prose.

Great job, Miranda! I sure didn't see that ending coming!!

Hi Miranda. I don't know why you would be concerned about someone beigh "harsh," (perhaps I do because I feel the same about my "stuff".) I'm no expert but I think this story is very good. Thank you for shairing it. Love and peace,
Regis

A very potent and evocative piece, Miranda. I am awed by your ability to say so much with so few words. If you can delve this deep with one hundred, I would really love to see what you would do with ten or twenty thousand!

This was so powerful and really touched my heart.

Again, your writing skills shine, Miranda. C'est très bien exprimé. Merci. Amour et paix,

Your writing is "effective." I can't think of a good word to describe it. It's just simply darn good, Miranda. I'm glad I get to sample it. Love and peace,

This is a very strong piece, and heartbreaking in it's truthfulness and honesty. I like your style very much.

I have been a teacher all of my adult life. I am grateful that I was able to influence so many young people. You are giving a fine tribute and gift to Mrs. Parnay here, Miranda. I sure hope she gets to read it. Amour et paix à toi,

Jean Pike sent me here. She's right. I do like this-- and don't mind Alex. He thinks it's his duty to take poets down a few pegs. His own poetry: unremarkable.
I need to say how much I loved your mini-story "Habit". It's perfect. You have a very soft way of handling your words, but they penetrate deeply-- like water. Me, a sponge, soaking it all up. This is good work.
When you get a moment, check out piggyink.com We're an organization of poets who collect "the good stuff" that doesn't get published. We collect poems, short stories, art -- and compile books of like-themed material which we sell for charities. Maybe you've got some poems and stories hidden away in "that one" drawer. We'd love to see it/them. --Charlie

"He looked at me with his old eyes" sounds beautiful. Happy writing.

One is a mini-story. The rest are free-form. Poetry comes in many forms.
Habit - Twilight - I Realize (Poetry) - 2/7/2008 4:25:42 PM
"Habit" is sad, but beautifully written. I love the voice and imagery you have created. Thank you for sharing.

Your poem cuts rights to a reality that most don't like to hear about, and eloquently.

another poignant, true to the cruelty of life, observation. was it autobiographical?
How a few tender words in early age can make all the difference but busy busy busy seems to be the mode of today
lovely words

This hits deep.

Miranda,
Every line is penned deep from the heart. Poet's ? Where ?
I write as a soul searcher and seeker of truth.
Barren (Poetry) - 3/23/2007 11:57:50 AM
Like you, Miranda; I've never thought of or called myself a "poet" or "writer." Others have given me that "honor." So far. I've done very little with it. J'aime bien ta façon d'écrire. Il me semble que tout cela vient de ton âme/esprit. Very believable and appreciated. Amour et paix,
Régis
Invisible (Poetry) - 3/23/2007 10:43:01 AM
Okay, Miranda. So you missed the "to" in the last thought. Right? "...she had to be a failure..." I make typos all the time and I am always grateful when people point them out. So, respectfully, I hope this is okay. I do love the way you write. I can relate and I can "feel" it. A belated welcome to AD, by the way. Love and peace to you,
Regis
Habit - Twilight - I Realize (Poetry) - 3/23/2007 10:39:57 AM
Well. This is my first experience with "Miranda Mayer" and I must say I love it. Your words flow like your thoughts or vice versa. It doesn't matter because the end result is most engaging. I thank you for the "connection." Love, peace, continued success and all good things to you,
Regis
Habit - Twilight - I Realize (Poetry) - 3/22/2007 5:08:32 PM
Miranda,
I think you have mastered the art of the short-short story very beautifully. This piece, though brief, is packed with meaning and evokes such strong emotions. Very, very nice. I tend to use a LOT more words to get my point across, but if you find yourself with some extra time, sometime, I'd like it very much if you would stop by my page and read some of my stories.
Jean

A sad piece well done, I gained a lot of images with this write.
Invisible (Poetry) - 3/17/2007 7:34:52 AM
Oh my friend what a heart wrenching write...I see the life that this little girl lives nearly every year in the eyes of one or more students in my classroom! Such a sad, sad way of life! I have one student who acts out terribly, but after learning how he lived, and visiting his home, while also speaking to neighbors...my fears turned to the realization that was the only time he got attention at home, and thought he needed to act in such a way to recieve attention at school. He is learning to distinguish and understand that good behavior will help him to reap better rewards at school! I worry about these children when we are out of school, as we have been this week for spring break! Again, a heartfelt and beautifully written write on such a sad topic. By the way, welcome to the den!
Blessings,
Joyce Bowling
