a beautiful and quiet ministry of words ~ Chris

Blue Heron (Poetry) - 6/14/2014 8:24:28 AM
One of the most magnificent birds in nature. Beautiful poem making me wish I was there. Ron

Blue Heron (Poetry) - 6/14/2014 4:30:52 AM
Strong imagery! I love this! Sandie

Blue Heron (Poetry) - 6/13/2014 4:26:23 PM
A lovely nature lovers poetic song...

Blue Heron (Poetry) - 6/13/2014 3:10:17 PM
You have so perfectly captured the image! It's as if the heron is dancing at the edge of water, browsing among the vegetation for its breakfast or dinner!

i like how the descriptive nature of this poem develops into a metaphysical motif ...

A very soulful poetic song. Well done Laura! I had my first margarita this year a few days ago. Well I guess I lost my taste for the sweet stuff so I will just stick to my Merlot wine. Amen! John Michael

This poem is deep. It shows the authors feelings and emotions. I think this is well-delivered for the purpose through the margarita! Sandie

Your poem shows mastery over sensory perception and memory. Last night, I could taste the same margarita that I read of here today on Monterey Bay. I could never stand the pain of ice blocks bouncing against my lips in favor of drinks at room temperature or in the case of margaritas, frozen. Strangely, drinking a good margarita never brought infidelity to mind. ;-) Ron

tasty ...

Dolci di Mare (Poetry) - 11/28/2013 5:41:31 AM
A good poet can find any experience as a window to poetry. Done with indulgence Laura. Makes me long for a taste of dessert..Just the thing for a diabetic like me..Bob

Dolci di Mare (Poetry) - 11/23/2013 12:01:22 PM
Reads like a fine chef's menu. They sure can make up luscious sounding names for those dishes. Ron

okay now i am hungry budd

Shaggy Dog Story (Poetry) - 10/15/2013 5:45:21 PM
Cute write but have you not forgotten something?...when you are expected to fetch his slippers do you not have to put up with even more? And a shortened life span to boot.

Shaggy Dog Story (Poetry) - 10/1/2013 11:09:55 AM
There was something grotesque or diabolical about this… can't quite put my finger on it. The best lines were… “I’d get all the affectionate pats on the head and hugs I wanted without ever having to sleep with him.” Ron  

Spider Woman (Poetry) - 9/30/2013 12:42:57 PM
Spiders are a fascinating creature. Nicly written. Michael D.

Shaggy Dog Story (Poetry) - 9/30/2013 12:39:42 PM
Good write. Michael D.

Shaggy Dog Story (Poetry) - 9/30/2013 8:19:41 AM

Spider Woman (Poetry) - 9/17/2013 9:55:46 PM
Superbly written.

Spider Woman (Poetry) - 9/4/2013 5:59:54 PM
Simply wonderful!

Spider Woman (Poetry) - 9/4/2013 7:20:30 AM
Nicely metaphoric. Ron

Spider Woman (Poetry) - 9/4/2013 2:37:32 AM
very nice budd

Spider Woman (Poetry) - 9/3/2013 3:12:07 PM
How many are caught in her web of magic that she weaves so well? Well done.

Confectionery (Poetry) - 8/2/2013 5:22:05 PM
You must be an interesting person to know. I sing softly in stores, etc. Never have danced my way through. Connie

Clouds (Poetry) - 8/2/2013 5:20:37 PM
Very pretty descriptions!

Confectionery (Poetry) - 7/5/2013 6:20:06 AM
A wonderful, sugarcoated attitude conveyed. All I can say is, dance, baby, dance… Ron

Summer Shenanigans (Poetry) - 7/4/2013 12:12:00 AM
VERY Good poetic write full with great ideas! Peace, God's agape love, abundant blessings, John Michael

Reads like a day well wasted! Ron

A Thursday (Poetry) - 6/19/2013 7:03:39 AM
a very nice wake up indeed budd

A Thursday (Poetry) - 6/18/2013 7:37:28 AM
Your reflections of a Thursday produce clear images in my mind that I will carry through my sunny morning with Thursday on my mind. Ron

Growing Up (Poetry) - 6/13/2013 7:37:13 AM
Strange. I can't recall any boy eager to run across the dance floor and grab the hand of the girl in seventh grade. Girls were just much too much bigger and more mature. Made us guys look weak and shy. Ron

Growing Up (Poetry) - 6/13/2013 2:51:22 AM
those other mysterious girls, they were not comfortable with budd

WoW! Profound and sad memories, enough to bring the reader to tears. Actually, in my opinion, the sea, or ocean us an excellent way to give in to our sadness. It being as one with tragedy throughout history.

It's unfortunate that scenes at the seashore bring sad memories. The California Coast gives me regret, as well for not being able to see it again and to remember the great times I had there so long ago. Ron

wrenching raw words of grief put together in such a way that we as readers are sitting there experiencing the same...poignant write!

At Leffingwell Landing (Poetry) - 5/17/2013 12:29:19 PM
A graphic glimpse of grief. Very powerful.
