The Painting Ballerina (Book) - 1/15/2007 4:06:10 PM
Thank you dear Gloria!! Your Painting Ballerina has re-inspired me to continue on with my 'Come Fly With Me' series (10 thus far) ... I have used the talking animals beauty in a few of them too. Predominantly the stories are about using the imagination ... Why walk when you can fly? Two are posted on my den!
Love and flourishing Haikus to you too!!

sounds like a nice interesting book to read Gloria, congrads
The Painting Ballerina (Book) - 8/21/2006 8:56:04 AM
G.B.'s work is a beautiful literary model for children. It is not only a book about values, it is a book that will teach children to love language and explore the sounds of words put together with a flow and energy.
Go on Gloria, put that yin/yang to use!
Mucho kudos!
The Painting Ballerina (Book) - 10/20/2005 12:05:29 PM
I can't wait to get my hands on a copy. Just the excerpt in itself is so full of life and imagery. You are truly an outstanding author.

What Does a Narcissistic Program Director Look Like? (Article) - 9/16/2026 6:30:48 PM
This is a good article from several standpoints. People are attracted to narcissistic people. But that can be wrong when they compromise their values in order to be loyal.
We have only two choices in a toxic workplace: quit and seek other work or stick it out until the toxic leader is gone. Like you, I stayed well several superiors came and went. They were all different, but they tended to want loyalty rather than solid support. Only free when I retired.
Glad you are writing so well about your experience.

a-Music - Love With No Story by Gloria Buono-Daly (c) 2026 (Poetry) - 9/28/2026 7:42:10 PM
Amazingly true and insightful. So much and so many caught up in Internet affairs the amount to nothing with so much promise of love and nothing real coming out of it.

a-Music - Love On Halloween (Between Saints and Souls) by Gloria Buono-Daly (Poetry) - 11/5/2025 8:50:15 AM
You delve into the undertones of what Halloween means to people. From the deception to the macabre thoughts of what death will mean when it arrives. The thrill of being scared by a sudden noise like the hoodie of the owl in the night or the crack of lightning down your back in surprise.
Ron
When I Was A Baby Doll by Gloria Buono-Daly (C) 2025 (Poetry) - 9/27/2025 11:40:51 AM
You took me there. When a friend told me that the Temptations were still playing, although with only one original member at an Indian casino in Oklahoma, I had to go listen to them last night.
My girlfriend had a song and dance group here in Houston. I don't know why young people don't pick up on that wonderful happy music anymore. It was so much fun to sing and do.
Thanks for taking me back to my sock-hop days.

a-Music - Footprints And Screaming Sea by Gloria Buono-Daly (C) 2025 (Poetry) - 9/16/2025 8:29:50 AM
I like the vibe of innocence and childhood. Adventure at the seashore. Since I grew up landlocked except for some of Wisconsin's lakes and rivers, I never thought much of pirates. But I love to swim a lot, like a fish underwater.

a-Music - NineStep by Gloria Buon-Daly (C) 2025 (Poetry) - 8/19/2025 9:59:36 AM
A real challenge I'm sure.
Although I learned all of the basic dance steps from a former Arthur Murray dance instructor in high school, when rock 'n' roll came along, I modified the jitterbug and went with the flow of the music, doing a lot of footwork while I saw others moving from all the hips up. Stuck on the floor.
From 1987 to 92, I dated a professional dancer with a dance troupe. We often got applause from people in clubs with our dancing. But it was all her holding me up until I couldn't walk anymore and could only dance, to my frustration, in my electric wheelchair.
She is still dancing for clubs and parties at 82. I'm sure she could tackle your NineStep.

a-Music - Bacht The Bot Breaks Code by Gloria Buono-Daly (C) 2025 (Poetry) - 8/10/2025 10:44:45 AM
Humans are so susceptible to rhythm and beats that it should be very easy for AI to come up with some great catchy tunes they actually could become anthems after a while.
We'll see… thanks for thinking of it ahead of time.
Ron
a-Music - When Machines Find Soul (Will They Use Their Heart) (Poetry) - 7/31/2025 10:18:12 AM
The Sci-Fi movies are used to make us believe in things that cannot happen, but if we believe, we may feel we have to surrender to the visions they predict. AI gathers from what has been dumped into the big pot of the Internet. It is not capable of true thinking or creativity. I've worked with computers for years, we always said "Garbage in means garbage will come out!" Recently I've found lots of grammar errors and dropped words in articles produced by AI. Doctor's appointments and other scheduling matters get confused between offices so a patient doesn't know what's going on. Getting a human on the phone is always a challenge when they can have AI do the job for less.
a-Music - When Machines Find Soul (Will They Use Their Heart) (Poetry) - 7/28/2025 12:00:59 PM
The unknown is always feared. When I read AI experts, they don't possess those fears we saw in movies like 2001 A Space Odyssey and the Terminator series. Those are fictional examples of fear that will probably never come to pass… Especially time travel.
Right now and for the foreseeable future AI gathers its information from the Internet. The information in the Internet is the result of about 30 years of input ranging from sophisticated science to inane play. But the Internet reflects the human condition and that's what AI is doing.
Interestingly, conservative people blame AI for being too liberal, i.e., sticking to the facts and being empathetic.
In all my years living in five places in the United States and traveling worldwide, I found that 90% of the people are loving, friendly and very helpful. The Internet is like us. Only faulty software, like when our grid fails, is to be feared… and it will be quickly fixed, either by AI or humans.
Ron
a-Music - This Dog Knows by Gloria Buono-Daly (C) 2025 (Poetry) - 7/11/2025 1:05:02 PM
A lot of dogged went into creating this tail wagging song. I wonder if you play it for your favorite dog, if they will remember it as their own.
My sister lost the last of of her Great Danes recently. She has two puppies coming her way, a male Golden Doodle and a female Great Dane. To fill the empty spot of love from all the dogs she's had before.
A parody song just came to mind, George Strait.
Ron
a-Music - Dread The Airheads by Gloria Buono-Daly (C) 2025 (Poetry) - 7/4/2025 8:56:30 AM
There seem to be a lot of them around these days. Perhaps because real work… physical work… is disappearing and airheads generally are far above getting their hands dirty when they can talk their way out of a paper bag, they think.
Good one… R&B with social commentary… Love it.
Ron
a-Music - Fate Sang True by Gloria Buono-Daly (C) 2025 (Poetry) - 6/23/2025 1:39:20 PM
Left me wondering who the artist was. There are people who memorize and can sing the songs of their favorite artist almost or better than the artist. Willie Nelson, for example as had many people sing his songs better than he can.
And singing a beloved song can fire romance to the limit, as I experienced a time or two.
Ron
a-Music - Just Glide by Gloria Buono-Daly (C) 2025 (Poetry) - 6/16/2025 11:13:42 AM
Wonderful. The way the swans guide so effortlessly is beauty in motion.
Watching a pair from our Hotel room overlooking Town Lake in Austin we had to get a video of them and later I wrote a poem… not as articulate as your song… entitled Two Swans.
While they parade like that for hours it makes one wonder if they ever eat. I really do seem carefree from all of the threats that wild birds seem to be faced with.
Ron
a-Music - Love Ripple by Gloria Buono-Daly (C) 2025 (Poetry) - 6/3/2025 11:44:14 AM
Love ripple is the hook that makes this catchy little tune work. Along with the repetition that helps cement it in the mind and remember the lyrics.
Well done.
Ron
a-Music - Red Roof For Real by Gloria Buono-Daly (C) 2024 (Poetry) - 5/23/2025 2:33:42 PM
Déjà vu… when I was going regularly, 1967-69, to San Francisco on Saturdays from my apartment on the Peninsula, I discovered what may have been a restaurant, turned into a haven for the electronic blues of the Summer of Love. Inappropriately called the Swiss Chalet, it had all the brick a brack of a mountainside chalet in Switzerland.
I don't recall what band was playing, it could have been the Grateful Dead for all I knew… but the walls were vibrating warm and inviting to dance… so I took my Swedish maiden date there and we danced until she ordered a stronger drink and got drunk.
On most Saturday nights I was alone. After going to a play, another bar or amusement, or movie, I would, in the hours after midnight, drive way across the city almost to Daly City where there was an after hours restaurant that looked very much like a Denny's today, with a red tile roof and appropriately named Red Roof.
I would order a coffee and cream cheese dessert and nurse it as I watched the wildly dressed characters come in, probably still in costume from various theaters around town. It was a heady time to be in San Francisco.
Ron
a-Music - When Hands Make Dreams by Gloria Buono-Daly (C) 2024 (Poetry) - 5/14/2025 12:04:24 PM
Reminds me of Helen Reddy's, I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar, but applies to anyone who wants to break free with their talent. Once again, wonderful lyrics and appropriate rhymes.
I have often started a poem one way and it ended up another. Especially, when I try to write a nonsense poem once in a while just to break up the tenseness. Either I start turning it into making sense or readers, reading the nonsense, come to some conclusion I hadn't even thought of.
Ron
a-Music - Born In Love (Never Alone) (Poetry) - 5/6/2025 11:46:53 AM
Some more great lyrics. Eternal struggle to find love… Even when born in love. I have learned in my long life that last one is strong enough to live alone without having a close companion, one is not strong enough to endure a true love with another.
Dependent love always turns into codependency… a very unhealthy way to love.
Ron
a-Music - Under Smiley Moon by Gloria Buono-Daly (C) 2024 (Poetry) - 4/30/2025 1:45:51 PM
Quite a monumental attempt at this subject… Enjoyed.
But I can't help but thinking of that simple tune…"By the light, of the silvery moon; I want to crone;…"
They say that everything has been written before. So, writing a new song with a new melody can be quite a challenge. You appear to be up to it.
Ron
a-Music - Between Somewhere (Not Far From Becoming) (Poetry) - 4/12/2025 9:44:34 AM
A very poignant composition with a a lot of memorable lines. Particularly enjoyed the reflective twist of the entire second verse.
a-Music - You Made Me Love You (It Has To Be Said) (Poetry) - 4/4/2025 1:40:07 PM
Immediately, the old song, "You Made Me Love You, I didn't want to do it… I didn't want to do it… Yet all the time I knew it." Came to mind.
But it's hard to write new songs when all the songs have already been written. So I commend you for writing this one. And for placing the blame directly at its source… you.
Ron
a-Music - If Ever I Knew (I'd Still Choose You) (Poetry) - 3/29/2025 12:58:27 PM
You've got a real hook in this one with that phrase, I'd still choose you. Could be a hit if it gets enough AirPlay. By posting here, you will increase your readership and your following on YouTube as well.
Keep writing lyrics, creating melodies, and singing these wonderful songs you are creating. We need people like you during times like this when hope is disappearing every time we go to the grocery store, wondering what's happening to our lives.
Ron
a-Music - Above Beyond Wildest Dreams (To Extremes) (Poetry) - 3/29/2025 12:41:48 PM
Once again I really enjoyed your hard work in making these lyrics and courses lyrical and meaningful at the same time.
If you could see my wildest dreams, you might wonder how I could ever go beyond those. ;-)
You are really talented. More should read what you have presented us with here.
Ron
a-Music - Rose, Feeling In Me (A Rose Is A Rose) (Poetry) - 3/23/2025 12:01:06 PM
The use of the repetition, "Rose, a feeling in me." Reinforces the flow and beautiful rhyming scheme of this song. Put music, it is probably on par with Spring in Love.
Ron
a-Music - Spring In Love (Hearts-A-Spring Song) (C) 2025 (Poetry) - 3/20/2025 1:56:27 PM
I don't know if your song has music put to the lyrics but I find that these lyrics were a labor of love that you've taken considerable time and thought to compose them. I hope you can get it to come to life on YouTube or somewhere else where these lyrics can sing, like spring.

Gloria, This is great. I like this so much. I picture you driving and running the verses. I've done that many times. It's almost like a runner's high... locked in the creative flow.

Sunset 's Glow (Poetry) - 8/2/2008 8:22:53 AM
This work reminds me to always stop a while and enjoy life. Sunset is when the good and lovely thoughts crammed our mind. However, never stay too long, for sadness will intrude as the ocean turned red. Before long it is goodbye.
Rainbow Day (Poetry) - 7/7/2008 3:23:11 PM
Beautiful photo and a lovely poem! There are so many things in our life that we want, or that we hope for! A rainbow signifies the dreams that we want to achieve. But sometimes, even if we are not able to touch something as beautiful as a rainbow, we certainly remember it for a lifetime. Seeing something beautiful, or the journey to achieve a dream is sometimes all that we need. Excellent poem! I have written a poem about a rainbow, called "Rainbow in the Piazza". Please visit my authors den and let me know your opinion. It is based on a true experience.
A Place In My Room (Poetry) - 7/7/2008 3:20:35 PM
We all have a special place in our rooms where we can put away our sorrows, joy, and happiness. A special place is so important, especially for writers like us! Our special place in our room helps us to relive the events of the day, create, feel pain, sorrow, or joy. This is a well written poem
Autumn Leaves (Poetry) - 7/7/2008 3:18:42 PM
Beautiful poem! I can envision the leaves during each season. To me, I think this poem can be compared to the aging process---youth (green leaves)we sing and dance ( live our lives, enjoy our passions)and the color transformation, to me symbolizes the changes in our lives, and transitions. I know poetry can be interpreted different ways, but to me, I interpret this poem about the phases of life. Beautiful! Please try to stop in at my authors den when you have a chance, and review one of my works

Haiku - Love Pie in the Sky (Poetry) - 3/19/2008 3:00:30 PM

Love This Ku Gloria
It reminds me of when I took a bite
from a cactus thinking it had enough
juice to quench my thirst
results: unwanted acupuncture of my tongue
Love & Peace

Dear Gloria, I thought of saguaro cactuses of being Natures pincushions, but I am not going to the point...just needling a little.
A charming and very clever haiku
Excellent.

Money (Poetry) - 1/1/2007 7:27:16 PM
Gloria, this is so true, sad, and funny all at the same time. Money does not buy happiness, but I do agree
Money won’t be able to turn sour to sweet
But at least I’ll be able to buy all the Double-stuff-Oreo-cookies that I could eat
So ok then send me those double-suff Oreos...lol. Happy New Year Gloria, to you and those whom you love.
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Babrie

Haiku - Still Night (Poetry) - 11/18/2006 11:54:29 AM
I noticed that you like to illustrate your works with pictures and even font that carries the mood. I can appreciate that extra effort you put into the poem’s presentation because I do that as well. So far I’ve enjoyed what I’ve read…I got the flu, :0( so, I’ll have to come back and read more when I feel better, but I wanted to touch base with you and thank you for your comments on my postings. (I like this one the best so far, there is just something powerful about saying a lot with little words)~lnns
If a Rainbow (Poetry) - 11/17/2006 4:07:22 AM
the rhythm in this is simply grand...giving it a lyrical flavor...and like CJ below, I love the message.

Dilly-Dally-Dancing (Poetry) - 10/15/2006 1:34:16 PM
How wonderful. I fly dancing out of my window and move into the sky. I feel your poem wrapping around like a silken veil. Thank you.
Haiku - One Lost Love's (Poetry) - 10/10/2006 1:02:18 PM
I'm really late reviewing this one, Gloria, but I have to throw in my two cents worth. :)
The feeling of loss at the time is always great...but tomorrow always has the promise of something better...if we but have faith to believe and receive. I would put my neck on the line and say the lost love is not worth another precious tear...if the truth be told, the lost love is the one that's the loser!
God Bless
Love, Lena

And When There's War (Poetry) - 10/5/2006 5:08:58 PM
Gloria, I see a lot of thought went into this poem. It is just too much for us to understand. I keep thinking that none of this is real and sometimes, I think we must be in Hell. Could we be on a journey to a better world? Anyway, thank you for sharing "And When There's War" with the rest of us.
Best wishes.
