Carnival Nights PART 3 (Short Story) - 7/3/2014 9:06:45 PM
holds reader interest

Carnival Nights PART 2 (Short Story) - 7/3/2014 9:06:20 PM
enjoyed reading your narrative.

Tiger's Eye (Short Story) - 7/23/2009 3:55:17 PM
I stumbled on this trying to find my way around this website, and I'm glad. It's so perfectly short and to the point. It flows beautifully with a rhythm that is simple and natural. Even as a short story, this is nothing short of poetic.

Sleep with one eye Open (Short Story) - 1/5/2009 12:03:14 PM
Wanted the story to go on. Nicely done.

Carnival Nights PART 1 (Short Story) - 5/23/2008 9:45:59 AM

Carnival Nights PART 1 (Short Story) - 4/11/2007 3:00:28 PM
well something good id say. id also say you should stick to the horror stories you seem very good at them. one thing i wanted you to know in case youve never been published though. there is a sight thats free called publishamerica.com they look at your stories and publish them and give you roylties for the books sold. just thought you might like to know this.

Tiger's Eye (Short Story) - 4/14/2006 6:49:02 PM
And that's why I never go to the circus. Maybe you were a tiger in one of your past lives. Keep writing so more people can feel the pain that we put our animal friends through. It wasn't meant to be that way. Excellent style!

Tiger's Eye (Short Story) - 7/13/2005 12:43:49 PM
Well done! I was drawn in from the beginning and couldn't stop reading. I could feel the tiger's pain.

Tiger's Eye (Short Story) - 7/29/2004 3:59:47 AM
Lori, I thought I would stop by and "Tiger's Eye" caught my eye. I must say that I became that poor tiger as I read your short story. You wrote well from a tiger's point of view. It must be horrible for an animal to live in a cage, to be trained by a whip, and have perform for people. This is a wonderful story. Hope there's a heaven for animals, too. Patty

Sleep with one eye Open (Short Story) - 2/9/2004 12:06:43 AM
You should write more in the horror genre, because you really can write these kind of horror tales -- impressive write just the same, masterfully wrought.

Tiger's Eye (Short Story) - 11/17/2003 12:11:21 PM

Damn, I like this one. I am waiting to see where you would take this story next. You are good in this genre -- stay with the horror genre because you got something here.

OMG ... I am totally mesmerized and truly was very pertubed with you when I got to the bottom of the page and realized the story was to be continued!!! LOL WRITE GIRLFRIEND!!!!! Anticipation is killing me. This is really an amazing story. Your words are descriptive and powerful and very very captivating. You need to be doing some books. Keep going ... you have an exceptional one here ... I can't wait to read the ending. casey

WOW! This is amazing, an absolutely incredible write Lori, I cannot imagine why no one has posted comments here about this story. I can't wait to read more of this and I will keep checking back to see the segments as you write them. I have only one complaint .... it is not finished ... and I hate waiting to see what happens next !

I worked for Drago from 1989 to 1993 Paul & Jerry Amore were the best boses a guy could ever have. They always made sure nobody did without. If you showed you were a really hard worker they always wanted you back the next year. It was really one of the greatest experiences in my life. I will never forget Paul & Jerry and the friendship we had. ROBERT LEWIS

Pappy: Interview with the Carny (Article) - 11/13/2007 6:37:54 AM
I have many fond memories of Pappy. When I look back at my days on a midway, I think of Pappy and smile. The year I met Pappy, I went to work with Fiesta, and Pappy was a fixture, I never think of that merry go round without thinking of Pappy. I had a cat with me that year, and would take my cat out for walks, and Pappy used to tell everybody that I was the only women he knew that walked her pussy on a leash. Thank you for taking the time to write this it is a wonderful walk down memory lane.

Very good nostalgia!

As Clear as Glass for Wabash Valley Shows (Article) - 3/23/2004 4:15:50 PM
Well done. If you haven't you should try submitting your nostalgia articles to some of the magazines online that publish nostalgia. There was a magazine, Good Old Days, but I'm not sure it's online or still in print. Your carnival articles would be perfect for it.

The Vietnam Wall Memorial (Poetry) - 3/30/2023 8:24:07 AM
So many names, so many lost, but it is a place where the living may touch upon lives sacrificed, helping us all grieve. Thank you for sharing your poem.

Unforgettable, Forgotten Face (Poetry) - 7/21/2018 4:42:33 PM
So poignant, Lori. This hits the heart hard.

Unforgettable, Forgotten Face (Poetry) - 5/25/2018 5:50:52 PM
Long time no see Lori Your poetry still stabs at the heart. Don't ever lose hope. Peter

Unforgettable, Forgotten Face (Poetry) - 5/8/2018 8:07:13 AM
It's hard to fathom that you wrote this in seven minutes. Shows that you feel deeply about the subject matter and the way it affects you every time you look in the mirror and don't recognize your own image of yourself. It would be nice to have you think nice thoughts, but perhaps that's not possible right now. Ron

Unforgettable, Forgotten Face (Poetry) - 5/7/2018 10:19:35 AM
Lori, this is a heartfelt poem. Your pain is well-expressed. Sandie

The Moon Watches (Poetry) - 1/26/2018 11:46:21 AM
This is really good poetry, it was a pleasure to read it, thanks for sharing Lori, have a great day.

The Moon Watches (Poetry) - 1/14/2018 12:27:18 PM
A bit of fractured astronomy but the intent is able to come across by using these props to move the idea that it won't matter once we have killed our world. Ron

The Moon Watches (Poetry) - 1/10/2018 7:26:04 AM
Don't you just love it when a poem comes out that easy. Especially when it's a good one like this.

The Moon Watches (Poetry) - 1/10/2018 7:18:55 AM
What a statement in a free write! Such a great beginning! I will be looking out for what happens after some polish. Sometimes I rewrite and sometimes I don't. How about you?

My darkest poem (Poetry) - 10/21/2017 11:33:10 AM
Very good for four minutes. Yes very dark. Edgar Allan Poe wrote that way. And he died at 29. But his world was much more dangerous and dark than ours. But you are right, we crave blood and gore. While world statistics show that blood and gore is being replaced by lovers and flowers, many of us are in a dark place and have to have our daily fix of gore from our news. And then we go to movies, play video games and watch television where gore has become a staple of excitement. Some live out their fantasies that they find in these devices by dressing up and acting out. When they get serious, it can end badly like suicide or mass murder. Ron

Nonsense (Poetry) - 10/18/2017 7:47:21 AM
I can understand your struggle to compose. Lately my stream of short stories dried up, although I can still compose a poem on the spur of the moment without thinking of anything before. Your poem is quite good for describing your situation when it comes to your muse… Although contemplating death at 38 seems a bit premature. I'm so glad you posted the edit. While I don't understand the disease or the complicated symptoms and inability to cure, I believe I can empathize. I was paralyzed in surgery when I was 20. After I was fortunate to leave the hospital five weeks later walking, but with shriveled arms and hands, I began to notice that, while I still had a very good appetite, my gastrointestinal system was not the same and never would be… Starting with lactose intolerance and then becoming other things. Twenty-five years ago I had to go on a bowel program to keep myself from bloating and other problems. In the last five years changes have been accelerating and now I have daily bowel problems that need to be attended to or I suffer greatly. Yet I am nowhere near death like you are at such a young age and have survived 55 years since my injury, far more than many friends like me who have died like Christopher Reeve. I certainly hope that a procedure or cure comes along very soon like I wish for stem cell therapy to restore my spinal neurons and saves the day for both of us. In the meantime, write as much as you can about your carnival days until you can't anymore. We will understand. Ron

Nonsense (Poetry) - 10/18/2017 4:24:54 AM
Dear Lori, You were created in Gods image. He loves you more than anyone on earth can say. You are beautiful in Gods eyes, a precious child of His. You are really never alone, God is with you in the mist. Before my faith in Him, I was numb and felt like I wanted to die. But someone reached out to me, it was a miracle and I don't know why. But someone cared enough for me to stop a life full of strife Now I pass on the joy received that gave me hope and a new life I really do not understand how God works I only know He loves me It's the greatest love that's everlasting for all the world to see Now I pray, "May the peace and joy of the Lord be with you Lori" Amen

Thank you, Lori, for coming out of your shell once again. Very well done! I will try this challenge and so please be on the lookout for my next poem. I value your writing and your critique. John Michael

One Dark Night (Poetry) - 10/17/2017 8:30:30 AM
I hate poetry challenges, but it looks like, in spite of your hiatus from writing that you nailed the challenge quite nicely. Unfortunately on such a dark topic that tended to be our reminder of what happened in Las Vegas recently. We should never let darkness overtake us but constantly write towards the light. Ron

Fighting for Life (Poetry) - 4/16/2016 8:18:01 AM
I'm glad you're back writing. Especially with the heap of trouble that's been piled on you lately. I certainly hope there's a cure for your gastroparesis. I have some digestive problems that don't get better with age and increased paralysis. I like your positive attitude in spite of it all. Ron

Fighting for Life (Poetry) - 4/15/2016 1:03:57 PM
Salutations to Poet Lori S. Maynard. "Fighting for Life" sings its words with deep emotion of a heart that pumps Love. It has a touching flow, and its contents lead one to cerebrate on life and living. May the lights of Health and Perseverance follow You. Appreciatively, Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

Fighting for Life (Poetry) - 4/15/2016 9:11:25 AM

Columbines at Christmas (Poetry) - 4/15/2016 8:25:31 AM
A stark and meaningful tribute and reminder, Lori. You have awakened deep emotions within the soul. Love and best wishes to you, Regis

Fighting for Life (Poetry) - 4/15/2016 8:21:38 AM
A deeply personal, meaningful, and moving poem, Lori. I extend my empathy to you with regard to the challenges that you have faced. I admire your attitude as you state it in the epilogue to your poem. I am not sure of course, since this is not my poem but I think you may have meant to write "seems" in this verse: Life seem slower in these days... I often make typos and appreciate it when others point them out so that I can edit them. Love, strength, and best wishes to you, Regis

Fighting for Life (Poetry) - 4/15/2016 5:10:32 AM
Lori . . . This indepth poem of your touched me where I haven't been touched in many years . . . "The River Styx a myth you say? I crossed its waves and reached shore. Changed as I was and different as you are" No, my dear Lori, you will never be like "us" ever again, you crossed and came back. That makes you so very different.

I think you really capture the mystery of fate here. Love the depth of emotion in each part, too. Very touching piece, Lori. Sheila

Independence (1999) (Poetry) - 7/5/2011 12:13:43 PM
It's best to remain pragmatic and in the present, because all that happened in the past were stepping stones to who we are, and where we are going. There should be no regrets, because all is as it must be. Peter

Independence (1999) (Poetry) - 7/5/2011 2:07:09 AM
Excellent work, Lori

Independence (1999) (Poetry) - 7/4/2011 9:22:49 AM

Never Witness Joplin (Poetry) - 6/4/2011 1:05:12 AM
Lori I can sense the gripping anguish but yet simultaneously sense of relief, reverberating throughout your words. Nothing can really detail the scale of the tragedy that has befallen Joplin. Save us all from the wrath of God. Peter

Never Witness Joplin (Poetry) - 5/31/2011 4:54:35 PM
SEEING THE DEVASTATION OF OTHERS THAT ARE WORSE OFF THAN US DOES CHANGE OUR PERSPECTIVE; 'I COMPLAINED THAT I HAD NO SHOES, 'TIL I SAW A MAN THAT HAD NO FEET'. ALL WE CAN DO FOR JOPLIN IS PRAY THAT GOD WILL KEEP THEM ENCOURAGED AS THEY BEGIN TO TRY AND REBUILD THEIR LIVES. A WELL WRITTEN WORK. THANKS FOR SHARING.

I pray I never see a Joplin here in North Central Texas. My heart breaks for these folk. This has been a horrible year, storm wise ... so many affected, so many killed. It's affected me, as well. Excellent poem, Lori, I've missed you. (((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

I Wanna Live Life Again (Poetry) - 5/22/2011 11:20:11 AM
A poignant piece, Lori. I'm at a crossroads myself, so much of this resonates strongly with me. I love the line about ghosts in the wishing well - creative and profound. Sheila

I Wanna Live Life Again (Poetry) - 4/23/2011 9:29:45 PM
Life is a gift, a temporary one which makes each moment very special. We can't turn the clock back. But, we can rewind it.

I Wanna Live Life Again (Poetry) - 4/23/2011 3:04:06 PM
Living life is getting up each morning and facing the world to the best of our ability...laughter, sadness, fear, anger and love are all part of our world so we need to accept them all. fee

I Wanna Live Life Again (Poetry) - 4/23/2011 10:41:41 AM
Excellant pen on one's wish to do it all over. Though I've had many ups and downs in life, along with mistakes too many to mention. I consider it was all that made me who I am now. If I had the chance I'd do it all over again exactly like the first time around.

Beware the Metal Boogieman (Poetry) - 2/16/2011 3:48:44 AM
Better for parents to scare their children as opposed to telling them that they are cheap. For if we are the monsters - then...well, what benefits the parents can reap. Powerful poem. I admire your ability to say so much in so few lines. I can understand why you thought of yourself as a monster. rege

Beware the Metal Boogieman (Poetry) - 12/6/2010 1:53:44 PM
Yeah, people seem not able to grasp the whole book by its cover thing. I like poems, like this, that pull you in by the lapels and make you listen. Great write. Sheila

Beware the Metal Boogieman (Poetry) - 11/30/2010 10:17:42 AM
This is more than a carnival concern, Lori. Such ignorance and fear and hate are, sadly, at work in all areas of our society. And you tell it is so well. Powerful message. -gene.

Beware the Metal Boogieman (Poetry) - 11/28/2010 7:53:38 PM
What a unique way of looking at this theme, Lori. I truly appreciate the perspective that you have shared via your verses here. Thank you. Love and best wishes, Regis

Shuttin' These Words Down (Poetry) - 11/19/2010 2:19:47 PM
Lori, I'm not sure I agree with the statement that other poets are more worthy than you. Great rhythm and rhyme in this poem, and I think blue-collar workers around the world can relate to your message. Been feeling the squeeze myself, since being laid off - 13 years at one place, down the drain, but those are the breaks. I hope your situation has improved since you wrote this. All the topics you brought up effect the lot of us. Everyone wants our money, but the return is minimal. What bothers me the most about the economy is the amount of folks willing to take advantage when one is down. As if job-hunters need to be overwhelmed with scams and offers to go to school. Thanks for sharing this poem! Sheila

Wreck (Poetry) - 11/14/2010 3:59:38 PM
Lori, this is not only a compelling read but a happy realization that you have broken through the writer's block. Thanks for sharing and be well. -gene.

Wreck (Poetry) - 11/14/2010 3:55:38 PM
A monster was lurking only a few steps behind this unwitting soul… What started out as routine was lucky not to have ended all. Your poem serves as a powerful and very real reminder of how fragile is our existence; we really never know at all what can happen in a fraction of a moment. Thank you, Lori. I hope you are well. Love and best wishes to you, Regis

Wertz's Bar (Poetry) - 7/13/2010 4:40:03 PM
In memory of a friend who decided he could no longer live. I can relate to this as my mother made the same choice; and your whole poem is very moving, Lori. Thank you for sharing. Love and best wishes, Regis

Shuttin' These Words Down (Poetry) - 7/26/2009 12:20:21 PM
Lori, dear you said mostly all that needs t o be said of these bad and sparingly dense and moneyless days. I know I lost my trailer after hubby Tom died and am living in small efficiency apt in low income housing high rise, hate it, but have to do what you have to do. Really I suppose it is going to get worse and never better, according to God's word. Sorry to be religious , but could not help it either.

Shuttin' These Words Down (Poetry) - 6/13/2009 5:31:43 PM
You are not alone though that is small consolation, I had to put my own house up for sale Friday as I can no longer afford to keep it. As for the membership, if you don't mind a bronze membership we have a program in place now that may help...let me know. hugs fee

Shuttin' These Words Down (Poetry) - 6/13/2009 12:03:25 PM
You're not alone. "We must love one another or die," as W.H.Auden said. It's time Americans stop living only for themselves. We must get out of this all of us together or face the whirlwind. Good luck to you.

Shuttin' These Words Down (Poetry) - 6/13/2009 9:19:54 AM
Lori, I think you hit everyone today with a strong dose of reality. Some realizing it more than others. You just have to wonder..when will it all end. Mary

Shuttin' These Words Down (Poetry) - 6/13/2009 9:17:53 AM
These are very tough times, Lori. You express this very effectively via your verses here. You know, you can be a member of AD for free. A friend of mine is a member. He is able to post and to comment and it costs him nothing. Of course, this is not the same as having a gold membership but it works. Love and best wishes to you, Regis

(((Lori))), You are not a "meager poet." TRUST me when I say this. Request a sponsor, you never know what may happen. It's there for the offering. Ya know? You're in my prayers - hate to see this happening to you. :( (((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :(

Well, I haven't lost my job yet, but I've had to take a 5% pay cut, and have been told to take a one week unpaid furlough before the end of the year. The newspaper business is really shaky now. When I walk into the publishing room, it's like a ghost town.

Hi Lori,it is so tough out here in this world from loosing jobs to unemployment.The best thing that we can do is hope for the better.Also despite the recession that we are having,people should appreciate the littliest things that they have from their family,friends and most of all their lives.Those things makes a person rich inside of their hearts.I hope things will go right for you.It will get better somehow.take care EDWIN

(((Lori))), (((HUGS))) love and prayer - tears rim every word of this poem - don't go. The Den would be a much sadder place without you, here - request a sponsor. That's why it was set up, so no Poet would have to be turned away due to lack of funds. Karla.

I am with you all the way in this aloneness poem. Feel so alone most of the time now that Tom is in heaven and I have to go things alone, do things alone,and take time out for myself even alone. We have the holy spirit in us, so that keeps us sane.

If I Lived to be 100 (Poetry) - 10/11/2008 3:07:25 PM
I enjoyed this but it also made me a little sad for I too thought of what it would be like to outlive most friends and close family and find yourself celebrating a life with people you barely know anymore even though they may be related by blood. fee

If I Lived to be 100 (Poetry) - 10/11/2008 2:37:14 PM
Hi Lori,your poem was very good and well written.It makes a person think about what life would be like if they reach 100 and all the possibilities that you have shared in this poem.I enjoy reading this poem and it is something that people will indeed think about in their sleep.take care Edwin

If I Lived to be 100 (Poetry) - 10/11/2008 2:33:21 PM
Lori! You really nailed this one! You've written a well expressed and emotive poem -- one containing many valid questions. When I was younger, I would announce to my friends and family, that I wanted to live to be 100 yrs old. But as I got older, after seeing so many older family members and others struggle with alzheimers and other ailments (and after watching daily local and world events these past years as people get crazier and crazier) I realized that I didn't want to live nearly as long. That said, I'll probably live to be 100 (if the world is still intact) since so many family members all lived to be from 94 yrs to 102 yrs old! Oh well ... LOL!

Statue in the Grass (Poetry) - 6/25/2008 12:21:36 PM
Said those words to hubby all the time. He loved it and now cannot tell him only at his grave, but do decor his grave with my love for him. He is more than a statue to me now, he is an angel and better not come back to me as a ghost.

Seems with the statistics of marriage, no matter what the vows, there are no guarantees. I have been married almost 25 years,, and I admit there were the years I wanted to throw in the towel,, love is not all a bed of roses. Follow your heart. Christine

Lori, Painfully astute observations - when lack of communication, when mistrust, enters into the picture, the marriage is usually in trouble - I know - happened to me and my ex. Very well written - (((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

He Used To Love Me (Poetry) - 6/20/2008 7:30:25 PM
My first husband divorced me and said I don't love you anymore, cause I was depressed and in the State Hospital after Mother died. I always wondered why he did not keep his marriage vows, I suppose we got married too young. He wasn't ready yet, But Tom my second husband said he would love me forever til he died and he did just that. He would always say I love you each day and I loved him and made his life as good as I could cause I had been through a rough time with the first and he deserved his first marriage and only marriage to be a good one and it was. He was very happy with me. No doubts about it. I was not leary at all marrying him at his age 42 and my age 47. It worked out so good til death did us part. That's my story in a nutshell. I like this poetry though, it makes lots of sense. Everyone is different in this world and must decide how they will live.

He Used To Love Me (Poetry) - 6/20/2008 5:07:07 PM
Lori, I have puzzled over this very subject more than once and it does make me reluctant to say I'll always love someone...always is a long long time. Thank you for such an honest offering. hugs fee

Aw, shoot. Means I'll have to spend more money to upgrade my prize...you capture the gaming/gambling spirit of carnival games perfectly. :) Here's another two dollars...well done, Lori! (((HUGS))) and love, Karla. Better step out of the way, though, I actually hit a carnie once. Aim was a bit off. LOL
