Candlelight Glow (Poetry) - 1/7/2018 1:33:28 PM
Hi, Mary Ann! Beautiful glowing scenes light our lives at Christmastime. I especially love the 4th verse, as it makes me see and feel again the beauty of the moment when we stood side by side in a circle along the side walls of the church, doing this very thing. We were the singers, joining our voices in "Silent Night." I just love the memory, and I loved your gentle poem, too. Keep warm there in Watsontown, so near to my hometown. Have a happy and blessed New Year, my friend! Connie

A Long Walk (Poetry) - 1/6/2018 8:45:03 PM
A walk to tempt all of our senses. Perfect.

Candlelight Glow (Poetry) - 1/4/2018 10:07:06 AM
This brings back memories of my childhood in northern Alberta. We went to midnight mass in a horse-drawn "stoneboat." Thank you for sharing this gift, Mary Ann. Love and best wishes, Regis

What John said, Mary Ann.

Candlelight Glow (Poetry) - 12/24/2017 5:53:21 AM
Your poem harkens back to a time before mine. My mother's memory of taking the sleigh to go off to her aunt's house for the holidays through the snow. Candles lighting the tree and the house when there was no electricity. Bells were necessary on farm animals so that you knew where they were and they weren't being attacked by predators like wolves or bears. Ron

Candlelight Glow (Poetry) - 12/24/2017 5:00:51 AM
The memories of the Christmas and holiday season are clear, deeply engrained in most if not all of us, and never let us go. A beautiful poem reflective of the holy season and its many fond memories.

Moors Of Scotland (Poetry) - 4/16/2017 2:12:17 PM
I would love to go to Scotland,this poem paints a vivid picture of it and touched on its spooky side ("Phantom story of cries and screams")but from what I have heard from others the moors really are like that. I enjoyed this poem. Best wishes to you and yours from Kay

Lovely! A softening occurred as I read this. You have such a gentle spirit and way of expressing yourself. xo Christine

Rain (Poetry) - 3/11/2017 10:20:02 PM
Simple + elegant = beautiful.

Rain (Poetry) - 3/10/2017 7:21:22 AM
Without rain, most water would be too polluted to drink. Every drop is polluted by a single tiny fleck of dust that allowed the drop to be formed (condensed) on it. In thunderstorms, most drops of rain contain small amounts of acid created during lightning… Fusing nitrogen and oxygen from the air into nitric acid to be deposited on the soil so that plants will be fertilized. Simply amazing in creating the green heaven we call nature. Ron

Rain (Poetry) - 3/9/2017 8:41:22 PM
I especially like rain at the beach, my feet getting wet walking in the ocean and the rest of me soaked from the rain pouring down...-e-

The Snow Light of Christmas (Poetry) - 12/16/2016 11:29:56 AM
Ahhh. . . Yes, yes indeed, one never knows what treasures are to be found inside a bookstore like you have presented us with. I have found handwritten notes within books I have picked up and browsed through, some I actually purchased.

Moors Of Scotland (Poetry) - 11/15/2016 10:09:58 AM
This is wonderful, so ghostly and with a hauntingly ancient feel. Loved it Mary Ann.

Moors Of Scotland (Poetry) - 10/29/2016 11:15:58 PM
Those Scottish Moors, and an ancient stone abandoned Castle at the River's bend set a wonderful Eerie scene... Heavy thick fog....Phantom story of cries and screams... Oooooh I'm off!! Wonderfully captured atmosphere Lady Mary Ann.... Diana....

Moors Of Scotland (Poetry) - 10/29/2016 12:43:04 PM
There is much more behind the few words that has seeped in from the foggy moors. Ron

Moors Of Scotland (Poetry) - 10/28/2016 4:10:24 PM
I can almost feel the strangeness of the Moors spilling out of your poem.

Moors Of Scotland (Poetry) - 10/28/2016 6:33:05 AM
I will forever think of Scotland with Cyd Charisse running through the heather on the hills. The cries and screams are all coming from me. She's running away!

Moors Of Scotland (Poetry) - 10/27/2016 9:17:59 PM
The moors have always had a particularly eerie lure and after reading this poem, I can see why. Scary stuff, Mary Ann. John

Moors Of Scotland (Poetry) - 10/27/2016 3:20:45 PM
As you most likely already know, my ancestors are Celtic... ...and there is red hair in the family (not me although I did have freckles which seem to have vanished as I reached adulthood). Well done, Mary Ann!

Moors Of Scotland (Poetry) - 10/27/2016 1:35:31 PM
Oh, I love this so much!! I can just see their pale apparitions! Good. Very Good!!! Love ya! Jane

Moors Of Scotland (Poetry) - 10/27/2016 12:24:57 PM

The imagery is fantastic and reading this acrostic was such a pleasure! Great job, Lady Mary Ann!! Love ya! Jane

Into The Deep (Poetry) - 7/28/2016 6:16:34 AM
After I read the dazzling natural references, I read that it was acrostic. It was very nice that you could do both with such ease. Ron

Into The Deep (Poetry) - 7/28/2016 4:54:02 AM
A nature poem at its most shining (firefly) moment. This one is delicate and exquisite, with hints and subtleties the reader can only admire and explore. As for "blue ghost fireflies", who would have thought. Thank you. John

Into The Deep (Poetry) - 7/28/2016 4:14:35 AM
A fantastic poem with cleaver wordplay . . . I suppose most (if not all) people love those tiny creatures . . . Your poem is loverly . . . Heh.Heh

ANOTHER WONDERFUL PIECE OF WORK FROM YOU MARY ANN...KEEP GOING WE WAIT FOR YOUR WONDERFUL WORDS. ANNA

Into The Deep (Poetry) - 7/28/2016 12:57:44 AM
GREAT poem! Gods creations are just overwhelmingly beautiful. I love fireflies but would not be able to distinguish ghost ones from the rest. We so have many ghost ants invading our home. They are so tiny but so very cleaver, you almost wish they could just be lead away from the home verses killing them. That would be a GREAT invention! A device or scented spray that steers all unwanted bugs into their natural habitat. Let's pray for that! Amen!

Into The Deep (Poetry) - 7/27/2016 11:04:23 PM
Never seen nor heard of blue ghost fireflies, though they sound like something I would like to see...-e-

Pieces of the Melodies (Poetry) - 6/12/2016 7:28:53 AM
How remarkable it is that some melodies can sound like, or resemble, memories. It's those 'pieces of the melodies' that find a place in our hearts and souls that bring the listener the greatest joy. And may the fragrance of those melodies blow upon others, as well, to bless and inspire them as they did you. Enjoyed. Peace to you...

Pieces of the Melodies (Poetry) - 6/7/2016 3:22:58 AM
Ahhh . . . "Pieces of the melodies aura / hearts a flutter" pretty much says it all, Mary Ann, but the leading verses which preceded those two lines set the stage and enhanced them even more so.

Pieces of the Melodies (Poetry) - 6/6/2016 11:00:17 PM

I really miss those long walks I took on weekends. Your poem brought back memories of those peaceful, thoughtful times amid the sights, sounds and smells of nature--priceless. Ron

A Long Walk (Poetry) - 5/26/2016 4:33:24 AM
Clearly conveyed. Certainly peace is what one anticipates on a walk or a hike. And it's wonderful when it happens. Embracing each footstep and heartbeat with trust and hope; those special moments experienced severally become the building blocks of who we are and how we express ourselves to those around us. Enjoyed. Peace to you...

And you are all of that. After all it's part of your name! Happy Mother's Day! Ron

Mothers (Poetry) - 5/7/2016 3:09:16 AM
A truly lovely tribute to your mother, Mary Ann.

Mothers (Poetry) - 5/6/2016 4:41:17 PM
Jerry, she should have said, "Good mothers" because it takes a good mother to fulfill the purpose God gave her. I like the acrostic arrangement, Mary Ann. Mothers have so many roles to fill. Your mother Should feel so honored that you speak of her with all these wonderful qualities! Happy Mothers Day! Connie

Mothers (Poetry) - 5/6/2016 2:00:59 PM
No, Mary Ann, they are not "Always Nurturing." My mother left a bad taste in my mouth.

Such a lovely work hug Kathy

South Avenue Train (Poetry) - 5/6/2016 8:40:39 AM
To move on to the unknown is scary. I have dont that a few times in my life hug Kathy

Hammock (Poetry) - 5/6/2016 8:39:32 AM
This sounds like a perfect way to spend the day hug Kathy

Passion Of The Heart (Poetry) - 5/6/2016 8:38:24 AM

Wine Country (Poetry) - 5/6/2016 8:37:39 AM
What a lovely write you have here. I am scared of heights so I would never be able to do that. hug Kathy

Passion Of The Heart (Poetry) - 5/3/2016 6:11:47 PM
So perfectly romantic!

Wine Country (Poetry) - 5/3/2016 6:10:48 PM
What a beautiful poem Mary Ann. I hope you really got to take this ride. I've always wanted to go up in a balloon. Lovely work as always.

Wine Country (Poetry) - 4/30/2016 7:07:20 AM
You have shared the experience most effectively through your verses, Mary Ann. I have never flown (floated in the air) in such a manner. Love and best wishes, Regis

Wine Country (Poetry) - 4/25/2016 5:46:44 PM
With this lovely poem, you have caused me to relive attending the Hot Air Balloon Festival in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and driving through scenic Napa Valley in California. Good poetry has the capability to do that. And for all this, I thank you. David Lee Thompson

Wine Country (Poetry) - 4/25/2016 9:40:09 AM
I kinda think that such balloons would make the perfect orator - as they are full of hot air. Divine wine written this springtime.

Wine Country (Poetry) - 4/24/2016 7:30:19 AM
Beautiful! Also very lovely to see that there still is water in California. Assuming we are talking about the wine country in California and not elsewhere. Ron

Wine Country (Poetry) - 4/24/2016 3:07:05 AM
Lady Mary Ann! We dream of flying, floating, and stuff like that. You have written a tribute "fit for a king"! Luv bug bit ya! Love ya! Jane

Wine Country (Poetry) - 4/23/2016 6:03:13 PM
Ahhh . . . I was never in a hot air balloon. No, I found my thrills on the mean streets of America. My chances of survival was almost certainly less than yours in that balloon. Don't known how you can "sky write" in a balloon. Trying for a bit of levity here, Mary Ann, pass that toke.

Passion Of The Heart (Poetry) - 4/17/2016 6:15:01 AM
It's healthy to continue seeking the passion and beauty in life. Lake walks are always fulfilling for us too. Enjoyed... r

Passion Of The Heart (Poetry) - 4/15/2016 2:50:13 PM
This makes your readers (myself included) wish that we could linger in such a place (experience), Mary Ann. Love and best wishes, Regis

A purple passion to this piece

Passion Of The Heart (Poetry) - 4/13/2016 1:02:22 PM
You have painted a excellent portrait of the "Passion of the heart," and I enjoyed each and every line.

Passion Of The Heart (Poetry) - 4/13/2016 12:47:18 PM
You dreamer, you! It sounds wonderful, and an ideal spot for swinging and dreaming. Love, Connie

Passion Of The Heart (Poetry) - 4/13/2016 12:23:04 PM
Whoah!!! The words weave within the branches and the blossoms like a non-poisonous snake, maybe a pink one! LOL!! I love this whole thing! Love ya! Jane

South Avenue Train (Poetry) - 4/12/2016 2:29:22 PM
This is such an inspirational write! To move on takes courage and trust in oneself. Life is too short to be lived in misery. Wishing you an abundance of creativity! With respect and smiles...

A lovely Ode to Love

Angels Furry White Lacy Snowflakes (Poetry) - 4/10/2016 7:49:06 AM
A delightful write that is most apt and timely for such a holiday, Mary Ann. Nicely done! Love and best wishes, Regis

South Avenue Train (Poetry) - 4/9/2016 11:58:22 AM
Could feel the desolation. So few words to leave such a strong impression, well penned Mary Ann.

Hammock (Poetry) - 4/9/2016 11:57:19 AM
You made me long to be there in such a romantic place. Lovely poem Mary Ann.

Hammock (Poetry) - 4/5/2016 6:00:28 AM
BEAUTIFUL POEM!!!!!!!!!!!!! Liana Margiva

South Avenue Train (Poetry) - 4/4/2016 9:18:27 AM

I really enjoyed the poem. Good descriptions.....M

Hammock (Poetry) - 4/3/2016 7:14:08 AM
You have shared a lovely experience very effectively through your verses, Mary Ann. Love and best wishes, Regis

Hammock (Poetry) - 4/2/2016 5:17:31 AM
such serenity expressed, I can feel it

Hammock (Poetry) - 3/31/2016 8:34:03 AM
Such a serene and wonderful way to be in love. Unfortunately, I've always found the arcing platform of a back support and a tendency to create an aching back, along with the very real possibility of falling out while trying to roll over. ;-) And the barren beach is wonderful as long as you have plenty of sunscreen, water and a cover if it gets cold or rainy. Ron

Hammock (Poetry) - 3/30/2016 6:06:10 PM
Ahhh, vaca

Hammock (Poetry) - 3/30/2016 9:18:11 AM
Gotta love it! Sun surfer indeed . . .

Hammock (Poetry) - 3/30/2016 9:18:07 AM
This is just so fine! I love the twist from "me" to "together"....oh, those sun surfers will do it to ya!!! Love ya! Jane

South Avenue Train (Poetry) - 3/27/2016 11:55:05 AM
THANK GOD WHEN WE GET OFF THAT 'TRAIN RIDE', EMPTY AND COLD, GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION AND ALLOW OURSELVES TO BE 'DRAWN' BY THE TRACKS OF A NEW DESTINATION. THIS IS THE KIND OF POEM THAT ALLOWS EACH READER TO LOOK AT IT FROM THEIR OWN PERSPECTIVE. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Sunset On Summer (Poetry) - 3/25/2016 2:47:36 PM
Great images in this summery poem!.....M

Although your poem is very short, it is very effective in conveying the emotions that you intended. Well done, Mary Ann. Love and best wishes, Regis

South Avenue Train (Poetry) - 3/19/2016 5:15:04 AM
What do you feel when looking at this picture? ...the A+ goes to Mary Ann Biddinger.

South Avenue Train (Poetry) - 3/18/2016 9:16:06 AM
Certainly one way to, "Get out of Dodge." One does not know if she is going exploring the unknown or escaping. I guess it makes no difference, leaving what's happening to interpretation. Ron

South Avenue Train (Poetry) - 3/18/2016 2:08:52 AM
lady mary ann another hit...blessings .....i love this one. anna

I'm with Richard here, Mary Ann. A novel in the making.

South Avenue Train (Poetry) - 3/17/2016 5:32:38 AM
Going no where fast is definitely a story line I can relate to .

South Avenue Train (Poetry) - 3/17/2016 5:19:42 AM
A telling image. Compliments your brevity well. Could be a springboard for a novella. Peace to you...

Valentine's Day Thoughts (Poetry) - 2/14/2016 8:29:09 AM
Delightful. You encapsulate the essence with clear-sighted brevity. Certainly a far-cry from 'Roses are red, violets are blue...' Peace... rlc
