Fave, fave, and fave. ****

Fantastic *

Thank you Robert and Christian for the kind words and the stars! Much appreciated.

I love this, especially the second stanza.

Thank you, Angela.

Just read it on elimae, and giving it a star here.*

Thanks for giving it a read here and on Elimae, Cherise, and thanks so much for the star!

Love these, especially the last.

Great stuff, great close. *

Thank you, Mark! I appreciate the kind words, and the star!

Yes. Yes. "Climb a chain link fence. (The latch won't budge.) Wriggling cartoon bodies in a dirty pool."

Thank you, Sam, for the "Yes," the star, and your generous support!

I absolutely love this, Tina *!

Thank you, Marcelle, for the comment and the star. I'm so glad you like "August"!

Damn. This is really, really good. Five stars!

You're too kind, Jack.

I'm a sucker for cartoon imagery in a grown-up world, and this is a brilliant take. Well done. *

Thanks, Kim. I like mixing it up with the kids once in a while. Thanks for the star, too!

So much to like here, Tina.

My favorite part, though, is "Kittery."

Thanks for reading "August," Bill. I'm glad you enjoyed "Kittery," and thanks for the star, too.
