Come fly with me (Short Story) - 3/14/2012 7:19:42 AM
You know, I love reading stories like this. There is something so inspiring in children's and childhood stories, and we all must discover, or find back to, the child that lives in us to understand the world; to understand ourselves.

Dance of the dinosaurs (Short Story) - 8/30/2007 9:39:20 AM
Another story in the Come Fly With Me series! After all of these months, it surely looks like you are in the compilation stage of having this series published, Suzie...I note the editor's name and the artists names...Dance of the dinosaurs, especially, has cross-over potential into other forms of digital media - audio, video, game, interactive media, and spin-off products...this is highly marketable. You've written this, as you do with this series, through a child's vivid imagination. This is what it takes to market children's literature effectively - you have to put yourself in the mind of a child and hold a child's attention span - a colorful story, Suzie...good luck to you in this series...I am glad to see you post yet another story in this series...it is a very educational series so far...Blessed Be.
Love Always,

This is a delightful story for children but it is also teaching a wonderful lesson (for adults perhaps even more, reminding us of the magic of childhood); the power of imagination. Thank you for this beautiful gift, Suzie. Love to you,

Come Fly With Me opens an enchanting portal to a mysterious and magical place which is alive with crackling energy and mystique..
You are an excellent children's storyteller, and I reckon you have retained your own childlike innocence and imagination, to be able to design such works of art and splendour !
The key passage amongst many to me is " "I come home refreshed by my connection with nature." Ruby told the children. "....:)
I also kept hearing in my psyche whilst reading this wondrous introduction, Ole Blue Eyes singing " Come Fly With Me "..!!!
" Come fly with me, we’ll float down in the blue
Once I get you up there, where the air is rarefied
We’ll just glide, starry eyed
Once I get you up there, I’ll be holding you so near
You may here, angels cheer - because were together "....Lols

Meeting wild horses (Short Story) - 3/31/2006 1:11:16 PM
What a wonderful tale! I was glad to hear that 'brumbies' are thought of as a great symbol. In years past, the wild mustang was thought of as a horse of 'lesser value' than the purebreds. Thank goodness they were not all eliminated...
Meeting wild horses (Short Story) - 3/30/2006 11:32:17 PM
This parallels so closely to my writing about wild horses, the mustangs. My soon-to-be-released novel FROM THE CONVENT TO THE RAWHIDE: THE SAGA OF SADIE CADE AND VI MONTANA features wild mustangs. Through the course of the story, there is a wild horse roundup and the two women characters claim seven mustangs of their own when spotting them on their property. Then Vi trains them by walking them through a labyrinth the two women built from 600 poles set into the ground in a circle, with sticks attached for every Native American tribe and a stick for Down Under. This novel is based on converting from Mormonism to the ladies going Dreamtime in Australia. I do mention the brumbies in this novel which my research tells me they are 600,000 strong in Australia, the world's largest herd. Another coincidence to your story Meeting wild horses, is that I lived in the Nevada desert for a brief time and was in the close company of wild mustangs. Two Native American sisters, the Dann sisters owned land and fought the government there for the rights to keep the 'stangs on their property as Native American culture. I also have the Judas, a wild mustang appearing in another novel I am writing, Dominga Rio of Cuero. The Judas is a legend. Meeting wild horses is an excellent children's story as well as for adults. This will make an excellent bedtime story for parents to read to their children. The illustration is grand! I love the whole concept you have chosen for Ruby and her friends characters. It keeps our attention and it will very well keep smaller children's attention as we know their attention span is quite short. Well done, Suzie.

Suzie:
I'm so moved by this story. This is so well-told!!!
Yes, quite fortunately for Ruby, she exercises her imagination instead.- This is to say that everything is possible if we set our minds to it. This story has a great message to the children and us alike.
This also tells that disability is only physical, it is not a state of the mind. People SHOULD LOOK at others with disability as normal and SHOULD NOT think them as second class citizens.
Sometimes, disability is in the eyes of the beholders, for they're not able to see beyond.
I applaud this wonderful story! *Standing ovation for this*

I find this to be a wonderful diversion away from a disability through active imagination! This image is a situation held relaxedlly in the lucidity of childhood. There is such energy flowing in this from the outer life. Good Luck on publishing these stories, Suzie! They should do really well for you! Children are our future, why anti-discriminatory and anti-bias stories should be taught to the youngsters by a lovely story shephard such as you so that they may learn important morals of wholesome living. Thanks Suzie.

Nanna's Last Wish (Article) - 10/14/2017 7:56:36 AM
It is truly unfortunate that you had so much trouble. But I am glad that everything worked out well in the end for Nanna.
You live in Australia and have palliative care. Here in the United States, hospice has become very popular of late and is covered by many insurance policies. Hospice can be carried out in the hospital or in the home, depending upon the wishes of the dying person. It generally involves intensive companionship and pain relieving medication during the last stage of life.
I have no family near within a thousand miles, and doubt if any can come to be by my bedside from their busy lives. So I would prefer hospice at home. Much preferred over being alone in intensive care.
Prolonging my father's life in the hospital and then moving him to a hospital 100 miles from where he had lived, forcing my mother to drive there, was costly and did no one any good.

This is something I really needed to read today..,for it bears out what I believe deeply, yet is hard to go through. This article offers us a positive experience whilst we go through seemingly negative events within our lives. We have to find 'the diamond in the dung heap' to understand that our difficult life journey's are often of immense value to us, and often tremendously life enhancing. The power of 'connection' is also a gift we can give daily to others to 'light up their lives'...Thank you for these timely reminders. Excellent piece. Best wishes, Love Diana.

Truly Individual (Article) - 10/2/2005 10:35:24 PM
Fascinating writeup. Purely from a layman's perspective, individuality is a trait that makes that person unique and different. It could be the essence of that person's success or failure. For instance a simple smile on an actor's face may distinguish her from the rest. It is said that "WINNERS DO NOT DO DIFFERENT THINGS THEY DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY Individuality plays a very strong role in this the issue is what is it that you can do differently because everybody cannot do everything differently Individuality has a very strong role to play in that>
Truly Individual (Article) - 10/2/2005 5:09:24 PM
Very interesting article. Thanks. I've always believed what makes my individuality a pleasant experience is that I know me, I honor the me I know, and I enjoy being me no matter how anyone else behaves differently or dislikes me. I believe our society (US) does a great disservice to children by sending such mixed messages about individuality. Parents buy Nikes and Reeboks for kids who can't even walk, buy them clothes with someone else's name on the outside, compete with the neighbors for the most expensive birthday parties, schools and weddings, and then 'caution' them about peer pressure. I'm not sure anyone still says, "If he jumps off the bridge are you going to follow?", but bet there's an updated version if not. And then, then those same parents drag their chilren to churches where they are taught to think and act like everyone else and told they are sinners if they don't. There are lots of mixed messages out there that I think have a very negative affect on true self-esteem and individuality.
Truly Individual (Article) - 10/2/2005 8:26:01 AM
Being a Darwinist, I am a strong believer in Evolution. It is only the survival of the fittest who will prevail. Being a Feminist, I am a strong believer in female choice. Feminist thinking is that males produce relatively cheap sperm and females make a set number of expensive eggs, and females should be choosy as to the males who they let fertilize them so that the offspring will be more likely to pass on exceptional genes. Female choice can not only change the characteristics of a given species, but also leads to the creation of new species. The intelligence level must be raised before happy, healthy ways can only be positive to the vibration of the planet.

The Inner City Life (Article) - 9/23/2005 4:39:58 AM
Very nice article. I recall a statement," An untrained mind is like a wild horse. It is restless and resisting". The observations about breath are also apt- longer, deeper breaths lead to quiter, calm minds and vice-versa. Its a self reinforcing virtuous circle. We say in India that " How you live depends on how you breathe" which is acutally a yoga dictum which propagates breathing from the abdomen

Oh Suzie you capture the imagination with your glimpse inside what we often take so for granted.

Shining in 2023 (Poetry) - 12/31/2022 2:36:14 AM
This poem speaks about the future being filled with hope and the idea that all individuals are co-creators in manifesting their dreams and inner beauty. It also mentions the concept of unity and that any separation is an illusion. The final stanza speaks about the hope of coming together and shining a light in 2023.
The poem is potentially spiritual or inspirational, as it touches on themes of hope, purpose, and unity and mentions the concept of divine fusion. However, it is not necessarily limited to this genre and could also be considered more general poetry of self-reflection or self-expression. Ultimately, the classification of a poem into a particular genre is often subjective and can depend on the individual interpretation and analysis of the poem.

Yes, everyone's freedom. Even the people of Russia who do not want their president to continue to destroy Ukraine next door. By dropping the two strategic nuclear bombs on Japan, we effectively stopped the need for an invasion of Japan with the death of millions of Japanese and Allies in an attempt to invade.
Action like that today, with all the missiles pointed at the West, automatically set to fire, might bring destruction far worse than in 1945. The need for ultimate discretion in aggression is necessary at this point of the growing war.

You are right on with this one. I believe we are at a turning point as similar to WWII as we have ever been or will be again. The last line says it all we need to embrace freedom for everyone's sake and the sad thing is the evil force that Putin has unleashed upon the world can only be stopped by a stronger, boots on the ground armed force of all the countries who want peace and have the compassion to see that a massacre is taking place. While prayers, sanctions and negotiations help they are not stopping a dictator just as they did not do in WWII.
We need NATO and all the unified civilized nations of the world to stand us and give us faith and hope in humanity. Sorry for the rant...
Sorry (Poetry) - 2/26/2022 1:15:50 PM
Your poem poses a good question. It takes people of great courage to go against the power of despots. Even evidenced here in United States. We all have to quit honoring wealth and power and choose leaders who are kind and generous. But some still have no choice except the Internet. And through the Internet, we can change regimes.
There has got to be a better way to settle differences than war. Hopefully, there are those courageous enough to step up in Russia and take Putin down.
Ron
Sorry (Poetry) - 2/26/2022 9:36:40 AM
Unfortunately evil will never be eradicated in our lifetimes nor can armed conflicts. As long as there are men who rule countries with the might of Russia we will need equal or greater force to keep them in line. Sanctions and political chatter may help but the sad part is they take time and a lot of people will die before they have any real affect. Prayers are great but maybe we need to be praying for is that the civilized powers that be with or without NATO come together in a show of force that will drive back and make a dictator realize the world cannot be bullied and he can no longer do whatever pleases his own interest.

A wonderful wish that I'm going to continue to carry out with you. There's no reason for us to feel down in the dumps and avoid contact with others in a positive way. Just reunited with my sister and it's a great feeling to have that guilt off my chest. Unfortunately, she shared with me that while she did not carry out her plans last year, this next year will be much worse, financially that is, for her to continue what she planned.

I love democracy, Australia, and the Aussies! You are too level-headed and strong-willed to allow a bunch of foul-mouthed, right-wing ideologues take over your country. I will go to my grave fighting the !.#$%^& knuckle draggers here. First, we need to put a few thousand of them in prison. Keep writing, but I doubt if you can stop them with kindness.

Time to Believe (Poetry) - 10/30/2021 9:20:08 AM
While the Internet has created a global village of discourse, its underside has become the way that those who have fear, whether it would be natural or imagined, can find allies and increase their fear levels by being manipulated by politicians interested in the psychology of voters. While wealth has always had a strong influence on politics, for example, most of the US presidents were already wealthy, wealth has become paramount in controlling elections.
Unless we can restore citizen participation in government without huge pay rewards, I'm afraid our democracies around the world are threatened. Partly by the people left out of wealth and the wealthy who are manipulating them.

Well said Suzie, and so true. I find the disrespect for democracy and our chosen duly elected governments unsettling to say the least.

I don't know what it would take for people to take this to heart, Suzie. We felt it the day of 9/11, in the US. All of us were united in our greif. We have fallen prey to those who have made a concentrated effort to divide us. This is the ideal that I hope will come to fruition, the ideal that carried us through our childhoods. Thank you, Suzie. Keep plugging for peace and unity.

Let’s All Breathe Together (Poetry) - 6/23/2020 10:17:15 AM
What a wonderful sentiment, so well expressed.
Unfortunately, our officials are again warning us of the increase in Coronavirus infections, clearly caused by our being close together and breathing each other's air. I know you meant, in your poem the idea metaphorically, in real life breathing near one another closely has to be prohibited until we have a reliable vaccine and we can take our masks off.

Let’s All Breathe Together (Poetry) - 6/22/2020 7:43:59 AM

Bluebird and the Tree (Poetry) - 5/24/2020 8:42:33 AM
Your poem illustrates how nature tells us about ourselves. The bluebird is always happy and cheers us with its song. And the tree provides much more than just a place for the bluebird to perch and sing.
You made me remember the tree I had to cut down last year causing foundation problems, and the many bird nests that rested there over the years before it was removed.

Australian Wildlife’s Greatest Wish (Poetry) - 1/19/2020 2:34:57 PM
I'm glad that finally, some downpour of rain has hit Australia, ending the seemingly neverending bushfires. So sorry for those that have lost their lives - both humans and the little animals.
Sandie
Australian Wildlife’s Greatest Wish (Poetry) - 1/18/2020 2:07:01 PM
Even if they survived, and it is estimated that 1 billion animals, not including birds, reptiles and insects have already died. With the remaining habitat badly damaged or destroyed altogether, it will take a few years for the habitat to return and for the remaining animals to reproduce enough to recover some of what is lost.
The trouble is, drought and fires of this magnitude may continue for a very long time into the future even with drastic measures taken to stop fossil fuel emissions today.
Ron
Australian Wildlife’s Greatest Wish (Poetry) - 1/18/2020 8:31:49 AM
Touching and heartbreaking, and ditto what Edward said. I wish for wisdom and bravery in our leaders to tackle climate change.
Australian Wildlife’s Greatest Wish (Poetry) - 1/18/2020 12:26:12 AM
To all the climate deniers: This is what happens when we pollute the atmosphere with carbon dioxide levels beyond scientific cautions. Stop denying what your eyes can see! It is only going to get worse. Look at the devastation! Look at the beautiful creatures that are falling victim to our folly. Where is your humanity? Where is your concern for all life forms? Where is your backbone to help bring about change?
Australian Wildlife’s Greatest Wish (Poetry) - 1/17/2020 10:52:59 PM

The Central Coast (Poetry) - 12/31/2019 11:40:23 AM
I can't believe that with a little graft and bribery, that your government would lead a Korean company come in and create more havoc with your water threatened continent. It seems like since the first people were banished to Australia, mining interests have continually come to rape your resources. Our failed President Hoover who stupidly helped bring on the great world depression of the 1930s made his fortune mining in Australia.
You are right about the uniqueness of Australia's fauna and flora. And the need for the people to continue to have clean-air, drinkable water and your unique wildlife all around. I am really saddened to see all of the fires burning and to hear that possibly one third of the koala population has already died in these fires.
The whole world needs to wake up and stop deceiving ourselves into thinking that only money counts when it comes to life. Quality of life is much more precious.
Ron
The Central Coast (Poetry) - 12/29/2019 7:26:42 AM
Corporations control the governments, and they own us, and nothing will change until we have leaders who aren't in bed with them. After making so much progress from the polluted past, it seems we're returning to those dreadful days once again, all in the name of greed. Who cares about the future when there's money to be made.
The Central Coast (Poetry) - 12/29/2019 6:34:44 AM
Screw politics! Reality is reality and this is my take:
COAL
COAL... The black dust it creates tatters my very SOUL!
COAL... An ancient form of heating from the dark ages of OLD!
COAL... I pray we learn our lesson and come up with something BOLD!
COAL... In our society today our health is more precious than GOLD!
Amen!
HAPPY NEW YEAR Suzie!
Every Child's Right (Poetry) - 12/26/2019 4:12:29 PM
the truth of the poem is very obvious, but to condense that into a brief poem isn't easy. But here it is.
I hope millions of people read this one, because it communicates so skillfully and eloquently a belief we all need to nurture.
Well done!

Compassionate Christmas (Poetry) - 12/25/2019 10:39:01 AM
The earth is warming and changes in the climate will continue to get worse until, worldwide, there is the political will to turn off the carbon generating burning of all the reserves of coal, petroleum and gas we have left.
John's dismay about giving is the result of government looking the other way in favor of their wealthy donors and leaving the rest of us to pay the piper through charity… Unfortunately, less able to have money set aside for this purpose when we are sliding into poverty ourselves.
But you have brought to attention with your poem on Christmas day. We are here reading and understanding. May yours and million other poems turn the tide and save the coral reefs.
Ron
Compassionate Christmas (Poetry) - 12/25/2019 4:58:03 AM
A Terrific poem, Suzie. Yes, many are still suffering after so many natural disasters. We have folks still going to the Bahamas to help rebuild homes and peoples lives from that disaster. People in our surrounding community are suffering this Christmas. With all the abundance around us we must ask, "Why?" It seems less than 20 percent give to help the least of these. Somehow, someway, there must be another way.
Love and peace to you and your family this Christmas and always.

I have it on good authority that cats and dogs go to heaven. And why would they not? It's all about unconditional love. Beautiful poem.
Beautiful Precious (Poetry) - 6/17/2019 12:29:11 AM
Dear Suzie,
First of all, I am so sorry for your loss.
Second, I will quote another AD author, J. Wilson, "Love today with everything that you have, for our lives are but a whisper and then we are gone. Love…TRUE love is our greatest gift."
We have enjoyed our two precious cats who lived 15 and 17 years respectively. Shortly thereafter, we went to visit an animal shelter and now we are blessed with two more cats, we named them Rocky and Balboa. They love us and surround us with comfort like nothing else.
"Love today with everything that you have, for our lives are but a whisper and then we are gone. Love…TRUE love is our greatest gift."
Love & Blessings,
John Michael

Been outside off and on for most of the day. That wonderful sun called to me and I responded faithfully. Loved this poem, Suzie.
The Sun’s Sunny Song (Poetry) - 6/6/2019 10:32:31 AM
Sure does. I just came in from getting a few minutes of sky-blue sun. And it was blazing hot, so only a few minutes is all that I can take to get my vitamin D. But I'm getting other vitamins from the new freshly grown cucumbers and cherry tomatoes that bless our little backyard garden. It has been quite cloudy lately making catching a couple of minutes of sun here and there a bit difficult.

Roses certainly are an inspiration and have doubled down on fuel for this beautiful poem. It got me thinking about those wild roses that grew along the fence rows on my drive to and from work in West Virginia. My partner has planted two different red roses out front and they are blooming like crazy right now. Also a yellow rose because we are in the state of Texas and must have one.

Dear Suzie. My name is Susana Busey I am a second grade teacher. I am looking for a writer like you who appreciates children their talents and gifts. i have a student in my class who has shown tremendous talent in writing and drawing in a very unique style. She is a little girl with autism. her grades are all A. She is a treasure overflowing with more treasures. She needs to be discover by a writer like you. I am not the only teacher who sees her future as a writer of children's books or an illustrator. unknowingly and according to this amazing child's mother her pre-k teacher, saw the same gift. We are in Texas a small little town 2 hours away from the National Big Bend park. Hopefully we can get in touch to talk more about this future writer. sincerely, Susana

A very warm write. Now will March come in like a lion or a lamb?
February (Poetry) - 2/28/2019 11:46:20 AM
How did you know that March will mean a weeklong cruise into warm Caribbean waters escaping the occasional fronts bringing a chill to Texas? I know that some here will find my absence with great alarm, so I will have to signal well enough in advance that I can leave poetry for a week without suffering withdrawal pains.
Sorry for hopping onto your poem like this, but you asked me what will come of me this March.

Beyond Blue Skies (Poetry) - 2/24/2019 10:21:59 AM
Almost a riddle. From the poem, I would gather that what is "beyond blue skies" may be rather a deep dark struggle rather than something glorious like heaven.

Doesn't the snow fall from the sky up to the ground in the land "down under?" Maybe I've got both my geography and laws of physics mixed up. But I know a great poem when I read it. This is it! Thanks.

The short, cold days of January are hard. I hope February doesn't bring snow. I'm looking forward to the spring.

January (Poetry) - 1/22/2019 10:23:28 AM
It's supposed to reach 70° today, but will be down to that freezing two mornings from now. I noticed that our roses out front are in full bloom. For me it is a taxing time when I have to gather all of my many, many deductions that the new improved (better?) are supposed to have eliminated for me.
Everyone here in the States got to see a blood moon and the northern part of the country are now being hit by multiple cold waves. My latest book is being published and all is well.

Fresh Eyes (Poetry) - 12/22/2018 4:18:09 AM
I really like and appreciate your positive manner in this poem. Oft times we have have to step back and rethink what we have experienced with someone, and work a new attitude into our thinking. This is not always easy, but changing our thinking and seeing...can help us become more accepting and tolerant. Very nice poem...

Love is deep inside all like the tootsie roll pop.
I read your poem again because I don't want that love to stop!
Suzie is Love Super Star!
Love & Blessings,
John Michael

What a wonderful tribute! He was a legend.

Very nice...lyrical, good rhyme. Your voice is modern and tells a good story. I believe this is not the end of our journey -

You make a good case for coming back again and again
and for showing improvement with each passing. But that
also means there's more enlightenment on the "other" side than
here in the "ick and the goo." Well said, dear lady.

Wonderful advice as we approach the Christmas season.
Unfolding Stories (Poetry) - 12/10/2018 3:39:11 AM
OK Suzie, for a start your poetry is cherished by me.
You don't post too often but when you do
It's like unwrapping a poetic gift sent for all to see
For you are a poet's poet and you inspire so much
For it's not every day I can say that I've been touched.
Peace, love, and Christmas blessings,
John Michael

So true they are the barometers of our well being, Thank you for sharing, have a wonderful day dear poetess.
Emotions (Poetry) - 12/3/2018 10:11:49 AM
I believe we should often experience a broad range of emotions and not be obsessed or center on any given one. And, like you wrote, we should be aware when we are emotional. One way to do that would be to have a video camera in the house that we would review occasionally and see how our emotions change. What we see might be revealing.
I find chatting with a kind friend wonderful.

Emotions (Poetry) - 12/3/2018 7:34:52 AM
Lately, my emotions have been rocking the boat too much. I could use some stability.
Emotions (Poetry) - 12/3/2018 12:14:47 AM
Suzie, you are the parsimony-est! (The art of saying a lot in few words). You're also the nice-est, and the precious-est. Also the best!
Emotions (Poetry) - 12/2/2018 1:25:08 PM
You for sure spelled out how to be at the "very centre of the core within our hearts," in this neat little poem, and you didn't have to write a thousand pages no one would read. Bravo! My friend, Bravo."
Emotions (Poetry) - 12/2/2018 5:01:03 AM
I love the idea that the emotion beat the heart out of time. Well penned Suzie!

A lovely expression of the unity and oneness of the human race. As you aptly says, we are all in this together. Why then is there so much strife and turmoil. The probably answer is that when our egos gets in the way, the ego separates us from the rest of humanity. Thank you, Suzie, of reminding us of what is possible.
Our Spark and Beauty (Poetry) - 11/14/2018 10:49:00 AM
Your wonderful poem today is crammed full of optimism capped off by hope. I loved it. It touched me throughout the whole poem. Thank you sincerely.
Our Spark and Beauty (Poetry) - 11/14/2018 10:19:50 AM
Great words of encouragement at a time when so many seem to be pessimistic about life in general, retreating and seeking much greater security than they really need.
The only thing I object to is the word "cope." It is generally a strategy that goes nowhere. Only action can change cope to hope.
Ron
Coping is like "rope a dope," I guess it works for some, like Mohammed Ali when he would feign giving up on the ropes until his opponent had punched himself out, and then attack. Most of us to not have the resolve to withstand that many blows and still have time and energy to strike back.
Our Spark and Beauty (Poetry) - 11/14/2018 9:30:47 AM
Write on. Let love conquer hate The worlds needs love now more than ever.
Our Spark and Beauty (Poetry) - 11/14/2018 6:22:35 AM
Your hope rings loud and clear. If possible, I'd like to catch your optimism and bottle it for the future.
Our Spark and Beauty (Poetry) - 11/14/2018 5:00:55 AM
Your poem light a spark inside my heart and soul.
You have a special gift that is greater than gold.
Amen, my friend. John Michael
Paint The Moment (Poetry) - 11/12/2018 11:08:57 AM
Art and color creates a safe haven for souls to meet, I enjoyed your artful poem today . Thank you
Paint The Moment (Poetry) - 11/9/2018 4:04:49 PM
Yes, "fill it with our feelings," and that indeed would mave and shake them to think more in tune with us.
Paint The Moment (Poetry) - 11/8/2018 9:57:38 AM
A word painting that is refreshing to read. Especially the part about creating a force that unites everyone. That may come from a major threat to us all, unfortunately.
If you painted that scene above, I want to buy it! One of the most beautiful scenes I've ever seen.
Ron
Paint The Moment (Poetry) - 11/8/2018 9:23:12 AM
Well said, and oh how we need some of that healing.
Paint The Moment (Poetry) - 11/8/2018 8:19:29 AM
Nobody says it better! Thanks. Ed
Paint The Moment (Poetry) - 11/8/2018 3:54:24 AM
The healing power of nature is indeed unbelievable, as you have amply demonstrated in this lovely poem. We need only take notice "to affect us wherever we stand."
Freedom Bird (Poetry) - 9/14/2018 12:30:07 AM
Indeed, this is always the challenge of the poet. Your poem beautifully rendered indeed, Suzie, as always.
PS: Sorry I missed this during my summer travels.
Freedom Bird (Poetry) - 8/12/2018 9:35:20 AM
I sure wish we could. So many see their freedom as tying up freedom of others… Even clipping their wings. Good to see you back here rhyming again.
Ron
Freedom Bird (Poetry) - 8/11/2018 10:44:55 AM
It would be nice to fly as free as a bird. There's no more freedom of speech in the U.S. as people are being criticized everyday for saying just about anything.
Sandie
Freedom Bird (Poetry) - 8/11/2018 10:11:34 AM
I found that freedom and lived within it for two decades. Now I live within a different kind of freedom, within the verses of my poetry. Loved ths poem.
Freedom Bird (Poetry) - 8/11/2018 8:07:35 AM
Yes, nice thoughts Suzie. We all want to fly free but we also want a nest in which we can build a safe home and rest. Amen!
Freedom Bird (Poetry) - 8/11/2018 8:05:00 AM
I think the answer lies in love and peace. An enjoyable poem.
Inside (Poetry) - 5/7/2018 2:51:25 PM
You seem to have discovered the secret to inner contentment and happiness, Thank you for writing such an uplifting poem. I have enjoyed reading it.
Inside (Poetry) - 4/9/2018 9:02:55 AM
what a wonderful thought

This brightened my day Suzie. Thank you!

Now that's the kind of outlook I can identify with. As always, you write such lovely poetry that sings when you read it.

And if those clouds should rain a bit
As clouds are wont to do
May they moisten all the love you share
So your goodness comes flowing through.
Inside (Poetry) - 4/6/2018 8:50:40 PM
A very positive poem of emotion and love that is always there if we nurture it. Nicely written.

International Women's Day (Poetry) - 3/12/2018 2:58:22 PM
Women need to be appreciated each day and not only on a made up day. It's sad that we have to create days to remind us to remember people. There is even a Grandparent's Day.
International Women's Day (Poetry) - 3/9/2018 11:18:53 PM
Amen. No, you don't need to be those women named to express your "beautiful truth". I have known so many women living anonymous lives who shine.
