A poignant write, Anne, nicely paced, with an ending that unfolds naturally and at just the right moment. I especially like the title. Well done.

A feast for the senses, Anne, and for the pleasure of good writing.
The Raspberry Man and His Tomato Lady (Short Story) - 2/14/2005 7:48:26 AM
I really enjoyed the story.Your perception of "true love" is expressed throughout the piece,in a tender and melancholic manner.
A rare piece ,slice of life...and love how you analyse the relationship that holds these two together.

Your realism in this story really makes the reader think:similar to Victor Hugo in the Miserables, the portrait of the girl is heartwrenching.

I comment not on this piece, but on many. I read this, and then another. I started at 7.37 intending to write. At 10.30 it started to rain and I didn't notice. I began reading in sunshine. The rain came only as the rhythm of the things I read changed. As if I was reading the day there on my notebook.
Napping, Knapping, Napping (Short Story) - 6/27/2004 1:14:12 AM
An interesting slice-of-life. Strongly nostalgic and evocative.
The Raspberry Man and His Tomato Lady (Short Story) - 6/13/2004 8:32:41 PM
Dear Anne: Read two of your stories. Your writing is precise, elegant, misses none of the required elements. However, as you say, they are slice of life. I would suggest you move to something entirely fictional, and completely stop writing in the first person for the next ten stories and see what you have. You're ready to make the move, and your writing will carry you, but you must tell me a story, not dazzle me with a tour de force of your facility of language. Wonderful writing, time to move on to something bigger.
Best,
Gerald

Anne: I love your writing style! Your colorful descriptions and uniquely brilliant perspective put a torqued spin on your words. Your grammar could use a little work, but I'll tell you what--I learned a lot from your writing style. Thank you.

Anne....this has the similiar feel to my story Dances....the mourning of a marriage, of what it is and could have been. This story has some excellant images, glimmers and sparks. You use your poetic talents here in a very strong way--narration, narration, narration!
The Raspberry Man and His Tomato Lady (Short Story) - 11/26/2003 11:37:11 AM
That was awesome. It's not often that we get to reflect on how truly successful people enjoy their lives. The Rasberry Man and his Lady Tomato are simple yet far more profound than anything one might get on "Entertainment Tonight". My point is, I wish people would seek out more stories like this than the petty, glamour stories that seem to overshadow the value of dedication. This is art.
The Raspberry Man and His Tomato Lady (Short Story) - 11/18/2003 6:26:59 AM
Great example of a decision made in a moment that took a lifetime to make. Wonderful deep, loving write!

excellent story, anne; i truly enjoyed this! :D (((HUGS))) and love, your texas friend, karen lynn. well done!
Orphan Girl (Short Story) - 4/27/2003 11:12:24 PM
This one is a good write, I have a few here as well the newest three "youth pastor's hypocrisy," "killing the rapture" and "Pacione's Inferno." I have about as many poems on here as I do short stories -- both are dark but makes you wonder which is darker. But this one is a strong write to say the least, I don't write that much in the mainstream because I don't think the mainstream is actually ready for it.
Orphan Girl (Short Story) - 3/20/2003 6:28:50 PM
... i guess i am a poetry snob; i had no idea you could really write :) good luck!!

My Mum worked in Casualty for many years…some of the things she seen would make her pale for days…..and I swear she smoked more.
There is one case that she can’t forget…a lady who’s husband had taken their little girl off to the side of the road for a toilet stop… a big truck came past and swept them both away. (he was on tablets to stay awake…and fell asleep..trying to beat time)
When they brought the Mother in she was so much in shock……she requested a huge cooked breakfast as she said she was starving..Mum said..the woman was still lucky then…..she hadn’t realised what had happened…..it was so terrible her mind refused to believe it.
Nurses deserve our utter respect and admiration.
A very well written piece……ty, Dani

Happy Thanksgiving :-) Those of the medical field are truly the unsung hero's! Thank you for the advice and an insight into your life. Nothing is like TV in real life is it? Sad there are those that would agrue me on that.

So happy I came back to this place to read the poetry I so longed for. Someday we should lay in the tall grass and use our child-like imaginations as the clouds sil past in the deep blueness of the sky.

Love to watch the mourning doves on the telephone wires around my place and also like morning glory vines. My aunt had them out from her back porch. I have none now, but like them anyway. Wonderful write.

Nothing like swinging wherever you are, at the park, in your own backyard, everywhere there is a swing. We had a swing in our backyard, a wooden 4 seater and we always sat til about 2 a.m. in the morning with the neighbor lady Faye gossipping about the ones in the neighborhood. No air conditioning those days and too hot in house to sleep. We had many a good night out on that swing. Brings back good memories.
Too New For You (Poetry) - 6/13/2008 7:11:39 AM
Rjection can lead to depression. HOpe you conquered it and are going on with your life, keeping busy and being brave too. This is full of emotions and you have written them down and can now let them go and find true happiness again when you are ready.

Used to have a lavendar painted bedroom with fixings of that color in my teens. My mother did not like it too much but did it up to please me. I hope you find someone to please soon if you have not already. Lots of love and stay in there with your dreams.
