Jigsaw is a lovely poem, with a calming and profound tone. If the other content of Passages is of this quality, then I hope it is widely read.

I like it. It's deep and mystical. It reminds me of a the style, of Edgar Allen Poe.

Trapped (Short Story) - 3/29/2009 6:52:08 AM
Not bad. I like the way the details of the night they went into the painting are left somewhat mysterious. I like the very human way the main character is able to delude herself and ward off the guilt. Good job.
Trapped (Short Story) - 1/30/2009 8:13:23 PM
This is handled so well!!!
Trapped (Short Story) - 11/20/2008 4:17:07 PM
The second creepy tale I've read tonight. Just like Kathy Mescall's DARK, you have brilliant imagery. I was there in the room with those children. I loved it.

Very dark, and very imaginative. It kept me reading right to the end. Good writing

GAWD this one is creeeepy! Claustrophobic, tight descriptions bound the reader's eyes to your words...an excellent, effective horror write! BRAVA!

If tight spaces bother you, please read my "MRI, A Hospital Horror Story;" it is due to be published *thank you* in a horror anthology! :)
It's Not Easy (Article) - 2/7/2009 5:58:40 AM
I feel your pain, and I am praying for you. I had my share of emotional problems that held me back most of my life, until I discovered self-improvement books. I had to read hundreds of them before I could get myself straightened out.

Not In Our Family! (Article) - 12/1/2005 9:01:05 PM
I can only start to understand the struggle. I have a friend who's oldest son is autistic/adhd, and I've seen the struggle she has with him. He is in therapy already and he is only 6 years old.

The Health Insurance Conundrum (Article) - 4/11/2005 2:23:13 PM
this insurance biz is scary, and it is also very expensive. then people wonder why they can't get it especially if they don't have the needs or the opportunities to get it! i can't get it because i have a preexisting medical condition (arthritis), and am overweight, and i can't afford good medical care. sad! still, a good (if somewhat disturbing) write; well done, pam! (i live in burleson, by the way).

The Dress (Poetry) - 8/12/2010 5:48:28 AM
Lovely writing. I've also read August and Intrusion. You have a wonderfully unique, creative and succinct style. Your poetry is highly "accessible" and relatable. I'm surprised I haven't found my way to your work before now.
Behind His Eyes (Poetry) - 12/16/2009 4:19:11 AM
Very well written, Pam
Second Thoughts (Poetry) - 8/26/2009 4:57:36 PM
Pam,
As a way to expand my writing horizons I have made it a point to read random poetry (Because I don't much like poetry) and my blind stab has led me to yours. Though I am commenting on "Second thoughts" I have read several of your works. I am captivated by your discriptive structure and ability to bring emotion to the edge without straying into the obvious.
Now my quandry is: Have I become a fan of poetry or have I become a fan of Pam's poetry?
Nicely done,
Creighton Thompson

I feel the pain of the "Spider man" child. Mass confusion and the fear of the unknown shatter this 5 year old soul. Well executed! Keep writing!
To My Children (Poetry) - 9/8/2008 4:59:34 PM
Whata wonderful way to say you're not perfect but you are who you are

Enjoyed the read; have had some of those moments myself.

Have a granddaughter graduation this year. Oh, it sounds just like your, I asked her if she was going to work at Walmart the rest of her career, and she just looked and did not answer. She has not college plans. She would like to work for the STATE of PA. HER MOTHER SAYS. hOPE HER FUTURE IS BRIGHT AND YOUR DAUGHTER'S TOO. sO ENJOYABLE THIS POEM IS. sHE IS A PRETTY GAL.
Behind His Eyes (Poetry) - 5/17/2008 4:11:26 PM
Being bi polar and age 63 now, I still can relate to this boy and the problems he goes through. Up manic one moment, then down into depression the next. You fight it all your life, but medicines do help tremendously. Love him and treat him natural and you will be rewarded with a wonderful loving son. His blue eyes are so magnificent.
Behind His Eyes (Poetry) - 4/8/2008 12:02:03 PM

Behind His Eyes (Poetry) - 6/9/2006 1:13:25 PM
A beautifully unfolding revelation Pam.
"I fumble as I try to read the braille of his psyche" is wonderfully though-provoking.
I believe, for me, your very last line brought this down to where the rubber meets the road.
"In the clarity of my ignorance" is something everyone should experience at least once in their lives.
Excellent, and many blessings to you!

I Don't Remember (Poetry) - 8/6/2004 9:49:37 PM
How very true this is Pam! I have often wonder when the love actually died. Sometimes I think that as we grow to know aperson, who can either grow more enamoured by their personalities or, indeed more aware that they are not like we thought they were. That is why I have heard that a relationship has to grow, or, if it becomes static, it starts to go downhill. In other words, it cannot remain the same, ever.

Excellent!!! Sometimes we tend to forget that children need answers too. They are very smart but their imaginations can really wreck havoc in their minds when their lives undergo traumatic or stress related change. Children need love, tenderness, compassion and reassurance among other things. Every parent should read this, very well done...~Z~

The Ice Storm (Poetry) - 3/14/2004 8:43:27 PM
I do sense a very old Metallica influence in this one, the vibe I am getting with this is the track "Trapped Under Ice." I grew up listening to Metallica when I was younger, and I have to say this is a good write. Very creative. I take more from Iced Earth as an influence for the poetry these days.
Grief Revisited (Poetry) - 2/7/2004 11:06:23 AM
