Let Me Take You (Short Story) - 11/2/2014 5:24:15 AM
One wonders if this has happened to you before or it is a fantasy yet to be enjoyed? -- well done-- I think I would prefer the fact that a woman would hold me tight against a wall with my writs handcuffed and her having her way with me-- that might make for an interesting poem

Let Me Take You (Short Story) - 12/17/2010 11:34:51 PM

This reads like poetry. As I was reading this story, I had to remember that this was not written as a poem, but as a story. Very Beautiful Kathleen. What a wonderful way to explain love. Your friend, Mark

Now and Forever (Short Story) - 6/9/2010 10:29:10 PM
Wow! This is really good. Without waving that dirty red bandana or a lacy white handkerchief, this was truly exciting. I like it, really! But you do not have to put an "R" rating on this as it won't be read as much as it should. Your friend, Mark

Gun Control (Article) - 2/4/2016 8:18:10 AM
All I can say is, what if the colonies in the 1770's had passed local laws virtually outlawing gun ownership and all the good colonists obeyed the new law, handed in vitually all but a few of their guns. Or if good ole government Mother England had enacted the same strict gun laws or face stiff penalties and so all the colonists obeyed left with bow & arrows and pitchforks only, either way we would not be sitting here debating it today, all of our history would have been changed and may not have happended. I'm just saying! Dan

Gun Control (Article) - 11/8/2015 10:12:52 AM
Another of very well orchestrated and delivered arguments that gun ownership is not a problem. I've seen many of these well-done pieces lately, propaganda designed to convince people that our United States obsession with guns is okay and normal. I agree with the premise that it's the people and not the guns that are the problem. However, I disagree with heavy emphasis in this exposé that it's the murder rate that everyone should be concerned with. Something I noticed in the presentation is that the countries with very high murder rates are countries that have very unstable governments and therefore have, poor control over laws which protect people from violent crime. If we take Honduras, number one in murder rate, we are talking about a country in Central America with a very weak government and almost at the point of anarchy, located directly in the middle of the path that narcotics move to United States from South America and refugees from other countries follow through on the way to the US border. While there is discontent in the United States, we are far from the lawlessness of the countries in the top of that murder list. Lawlessness has little to do with guns. MS 13 that operates in Honduras among other countries, does all of its killing primarily with knives in a very brutal way. Where Plano Texas is, at the bottom of the list, I noticed a number of European countries starting with Switzerland, that the same people who tout the US ability to save the world, militarily, blame as weak countries in the European Union, with poor economies and inability to defend themselves. Still, they are very vibrant, healthy places to live, with very little crime and very low murder rates… Much lower than the United States. Also, this analysis only talks about murder rate. It doesn't have the data on gun accidents, suicides, and gun violence related to personal and family disputes that does not result in murder. In fact, much of this data is unavailable, partly because it is suppressed by the NRA and laws that were enacted by folks that like to create these pleasant scenarios. So, what we have is an analysis comparing apples to oranges instead of apples to apples. The fact that so many buy analyses like this is a direct result of our inability to understand ourselves, our education and our strong beliefs in myths rather than facts even when they stare us in the face. I agree that it is people that are causing the perceived problem. But, with a portion of every society mentally ill, can we have guns like pistols that only have a use for shooting people, and assault weapons, only useful for military purposes or mass shootings by crazed people, stockpiled in every home with some fear that something apocalyptic will be coming along? Hoping that these guns will be locked up and away from that video game playing teenager with pathological dreams of glory in the house? It's time that we consider guns deadly devices like automobiles and properly regulate their use and availability to citizens for our own safety. Ron

I hope you feel better soon, Kati. Coincidentally, I had to go to the emergency the other night because of back spasms. The pain killers and the muscle relaxant did the trick for me and I only had to take a few. A sore back is not fun. I send you love and my best wishes, Regis

Magical Land (Poetry) - 2/1/2017 7:52:07 AM
I am not much of a reader and do not like pro's. Enough said your work is MARVELOUS. It stays within the picture your painting. Rhythmic poetry has music with it, which holds one in the song or dance, which makes one romance. One should not talk about themselves when complementing others.But when I went to San Diego to writers conference. They said Rhythmic poetry is OUT. At the end of conference they handed out all the awards. This is OK that I did not win anything, until they said they had a special award to me and wanted me to read the poem about reunion of writers. It was 2 and 1/2 pages. I had to stop three times because the laughter was so loud it drowned me out and when finished I got a standing ovation. At that point I thought to my self isn't funny they say what I am doing is wrong, but look how much enjoyment they received. So Kathleen ( What a Beautiful Name ) keep doing what you are doing it is great !!! Darryl Ehlers

"I am an unfinished painting.................." those words will stay in my mind forever! There are times when the artist must walk away and view his work from a different angle or distance. You are surely doing that and you achieve what you set out to be through your "art". Love ya! Jane

Sun Warmed Petals (Poetry) - 5/26/2016 7:04:34 AM
Lovely, KLM. Certainly exemplifies Ekphrastic poetry, too; which you have a natural talent for. Your poem 'Tiny Fingers' comes to mind. Ekphrasis is a literary invention. A form of writing, mostly poetry, wherein the author describes another work of art, usually visual, like you have here. Ekphrastic writing is rhetorical in nature and symbolic of a greater meaning. I love the form, and have employed it in my own writing for many years. Enjoyed this. Peace...

Indeed, love is a very powerful emotion, so much that poets such as us continue to write about it, as you have done so well in this poem, in order to better understand and come to terms with what it all means. John

One Touch (Poetry) - 5/9/2016 10:44:18 AM
Poetry such as this can touch raw emotions and express a love through "one touch" that can end up being untouchable it is so rare and unique. Love is what it is, not what we think it is or what we want it to be. Your poem is a heart-felt write. John

One Touch (Poetry) - 5/9/2016 9:13:16 AM
Bearing your soul so completely is something maybe you shouldn't do. Just be with him, let his know he is the only one. To bear your heartfelt emotion to him can, and probably will, give him way too much to think about. That, plus the challenge to him to stay, not go away. Then to explain to him how it would affect you if he did leave is a mountain he would probably refuse to keep climbing.

Being "Misguided and blind" happens so often to those who have been betrayed by someone you thought was a person of his/her word. Great write, my friend!! Love ya! Jane

Defeated (Poetry) - 5/9/2016 8:41:08 AM
A positive attitude I'm seeing within the confines of this poem, Kathleen. While it is true to be able to "Listening to your heart" it is also true that as the heart leads, you should pay attention to your brain for pitfalls, etc. along the way.

Kathleen, this is such a sweet poem and touched the very depths of my soul. So many things throughout the entire piece remind me of my own childhood, growing up in a rural area of West Virginia. Thank you for the memories. David Lee Thompson

Precious Moments (Poetry) - 4/28/2016 6:15:21 PM
Everything you say here is so true; however, when I was younger, I had the desire to read but couldn't find the time because of a tight schedule as a teacher and raising a family. Then, once I retired, I now have the time but find it difficult to stay awake and seem to have far less time getting things done like I once could. David Lee Thompson

Indeed, Poetry and lit are medicine for the turbulent soul; water for the thirsty imagination. Quality poem.

Precious Moments (Poetry) - 4/28/2016 9:05:26 AM
I loved reading as a child and letting my imagination carry me where the stories took me. We seem to lose that sense of magic as we grow into adults with all the cares of this life that growing up brings. Love and best wishes, Regis

Grandpa's Shoes (Poetry) - 4/28/2016 9:03:25 AM
Sweet nostalgia about someone special, Kathleen. I never got to know any of my grandparents since my immigrated to Canada from France. However, your grandpa reminds me of my father with all the work on the farm and such. Thank you for sharing. Love and best wishes, Regis

Wise thoughts in a busy world. I would add to that real-life experience encountering new experiences in person having nothing to do with personal maintenance except to give that breath of fresh air that travel and opening up to others unlike ourselves can do. Ron

Ahhh . . . I fell in love with the written words in novel form when I was a very young lad. The Perry Mason books is the first readings I can recall, but branched out to many different kinds of novels. I have been reading ever since on a daily basis.

Precious Moments (Poetry) - 4/28/2016 4:21:55 AM
Books have taken me to so many places, time periods, and personalities. Books have "taken me away" from stress and worry. You are so "right on" with this poem. Marvelous! Love ya! Jane

Grandpa's Shoes (Poetry) - 4/27/2016 8:39:17 PM
I haven't known many farmers, but the few I've met were much like your grandpa. There's something about getting close to Nature that brings out the goodness in people. Thanks for the reminder, Kathy.

Precious Moments (Poetry) - 4/27/2016 8:32:48 PM
And how nice when the words are comforting and a joy to read, as are yours. Warm and cozy like a friend.

Grandpa's Shoes (Poetry) - 4/27/2016 8:17:02 PM
This poem has that "farm-yard feel", quiet, tender, at one with the natural rhythms, all symbolized by the sight of "grandfather's shoes". I also have a special relationship with shoes. Being an inveterate traveller, I am always cognizant of what my shoes have gone through, and I take good care of them, sometimes wearing them for years. Perhaps I should write a poem about that. If so, I will dedicate it to you for giving me the idea. John

Lost (Poetry) - 4/20/2016 11:05:35 AM
This poem speaks of much despair. Whether it is caused externally or internally makes no difference, because it is a cry for help that apparently, is going unanswered. Unfortunately, I have no answers either… No advice that will help except looking on the bright side of things. Ron

Lost (Poetry) - 4/19/2016 9:17:13 AM
I had a friend who overdosed on morphine in my college years. I remember her saying that she was awfully depressed and had stopped sharing and talking because she felt like she was bothering people. I attempted suicide while I was in the Army in Germany. I was 20. I'll never forget the Angel that came to me. Being in the Light changed me entirely. I was told that my Creator (the Most High) loved me and that His Love was well worth living for. A riveting insight that more than a few will relate to. Peace to you... rlc

A deep dread of the unknown enters... The unknown can be unsettling for anyone. Some feel its torment and do recoil. Others embrace the unknown as an emotional adventure, waiting for the twists and turns sure to follow. We all live within the world of emotional known and unknown and have felt the emotions and thoughts attached with each. You have written well of the fight with torment and I hope you will also write about the release of those ears. Enjoyed this very much. Thanks, Chris

Fighting For Air (Poetry) - 2/4/2016 6:21:57 PM
An exploration of the dark side; we all know from whence it comes, we just don't know the when and where of its departure. Nicely rendered. The lack of punctuation stands out, particularly because of the wanton period at the beginning of the second paragraph ? ! John

Fighting For Air (Poetry) - 2/4/2016 5:53:31 PM
When I was younger, I would look at myself in the mirror morning after morning, wondering to myself how I could possibly make it another day. But with God's help, I am no longer stuck in the pit of darkness I once was. Sometimes I'm there, teetering on the edge, but thus far, I have maintained my balance and kept from falling. Dlt

Fighting For Air (Poetry) - 2/4/2016 9:52:39 AM
Kathy, I just had a dream the other night left me shaky when I woke up and has stuck with me for days. I wrote it out as a story and maybe I could put it under the "stories" section . I have never done anything but poetry on here so far. Guess i could give it a shot. That last verse is exactly how I felt when I woke up out of the dream state. Dan

Daddy's Hands (Poetry) - 2/4/2016 7:54:07 AM
Kathy, what I love about your writing is it goes straight from the page to your heart , no interuption, no nonsense, really commuciates and that is what we hope to accomplish I think with anything we write. I am not trying to get you to read my stuff but this poem has the same feel as my "That Little Hand of Mine" about my memories of a me as a 5 year old kid on a farm and how i remember my parents and that simple life. I got to figure out how to put a pic with a poem when I see one that fits the theme. Yours are great. Dan

Best line of the poem: "Places that we were afraid to enter by ourselves." This really hits the mark and strips the emotions bare. Faith is so much more than just "make-believe". By the way, the title reminds me of my older sister who ran a little pre-school for over 25 years in the basement of her house. How I remember all those little kiddies.

Wind Beneath My Wings (Poetry) - 11/4/2015 7:03:04 PM

Autumn (Poetry) - 10/11/2015 6:39:49 AM
I'm reminded of Longfellow with, "Covered in moss and in garments, green. Stand like Druids of eld, with beards that rest on their bosoms." Your line, "Grace the trees like fall gowns," is of that quality. Ron BTW, I'm definitely not fond of all these structured poetry concepts, especially the really short ones. It is as though, "a picture is worth 1000 words," is reversed. Trying to create a picture with five words is futile at best. All exercises in writing discipline. So glad that I'm undisciplined now that I left school behind. ;-)
