Love derivative. Anything with math and porn. Seriously both are connected....amy

Hey Gary. Thanks for reading berets and fish, and thank for commenting, too. fos.

Thanks for the kindness, Gary.

Thanks, Gary, for letting me know you liked W.P.A.

Thanks, Gary. Glad you liked Wild Horses. I expected this not-so-uplifting little piece to make me eligible for the zero club. ;-)...

Thanks for the star and for calling Float to Water "lyrical and lean." That's what I aim for.

Gary, thanks for your comment on Demons (4). Yes, car and snow is a kind of leitmotif which will travel through the whole piece.

Dear Gary, flatterd by your ocmment on Demons!! Thank you.

Glad you enjoyed "Boy on Fire". It was a pleasure to write.

Thank you for commenting on Mama. Thank goodness it's not real!

Thanks for reading Hub for the Visionaries Gary. I am honestly trying to move away from the bar poems! :)

Gary - thanks for reading and commenting on Daddio.

Thanks for the comment as always Gary!

Fish Eye: All really interesting and wise thoughts to ponder, the similarities and differences of skill-building and sustaining in all these arenas. Earlier in life I was a painter and found that taking breaks and just looking for awhile improved my work more than constant practice. There also may be stages in the development of an art or skill requiring more or less "doing."

Thanks, Gary for reading and liking "A Forest."

Thanks, Gary, for reading and speaking kindly of "That Line."

Glad to bring you enjoyment with Spring Fever. You bring me so much.

I sound like a Hari Krishna. You can delete all the extras. I thought it wasn't working because it was taking so long.

Gary. Writing is a true faith for us Godless heathens.

Thanks for your comment on Amends.

Glad you liked Holiday Newsletter.

Gary, thanks for reading and commenting on Winyah Bay. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Gary,
Thanks for reading and commenting on the story, 'The Color of Sound.'

Thanks for your comment on False Alarm. I think one writer called his book on fiction "The Lie that Tells a Truth." John Dufresne. Daydreaming aloud is really no different from free association. Technicalities. Psychoanalysis on children is not particularly effective. I like family and play therapy.

Thanks for your comment on Light, though I hope it's only half-true.

I liked the way you worded your comment on Dry Well. Thanks.

I liked the way you worded your comment on Dry Well. Thanks.

Hi Gary, thanks for reading Brick Walls, I appreciate the comment, too. fos.

Synesthesia. Wassily Kandinsky had it. His paintings were music to him and he heard music in all color. I did a term paper on him in college as an art history major.

Thanks, Gary, for your kind words about Aerospace.

My gratitude, Gary, for sticking with Hemingway Test. Keeps me feeling connected!

Gary, thanks for commenting and faving "Testimony." I'm delighted you enjoyed it.

Gary, I almost wish I could look back at childhood with the kind of focused recall I have in this flash piece, The Crack, but the memories are scattered. Most are too vague to mean much.

Insomniac, that it has been.

Thank you for commenting on my squirrels. I think they like the cooler climate up here, lol.

Thank you so much for your comment on Attachment.

Thanks for reading "Eulogy for the Eating Disorder". I try to make my writing as lean as possible.

Thanks, Gary for reading "Menthol." A little sampling of family, NYC-style..

BOXWOOD AT NINE: I basically wrote this in my head as is when I was nine.

Gary, I much appreciate that you are following Hemingway Test. Your comments continue to encourage me.

Thank you for your comment and fave on "Sending kisses". I'm glad you enjoyed it. I don't know if people noticed, but I sprinkled the text with x's. Those were the kisses.

Thanks very much for the kind words on "Gravity," Gary.

Thanks for your comment on Women's Lib. Some of us humans are good some of the time.

Thank you for your lovely comment and fave on "Sending kisses". Apologies for my delayed response. I hadn't received an e-mail notification from Fictionaut for some reason.

Gary, thanks for commenting on my poem "Factory Girl in a Blurred Photograph."

Thanks for EX!

Thanks so much for your generous comment on The Ring.

Gary, I was delighted and gratified this morning to see your kind words for my little story, Peacemaker. Peace, brother.

Thanks for your enthusiasm over Gas Chamber.

Gary, much appreciate your reading Hemingway Test - 3. At first glance with misted morning eyes I thought you said "Pynchonesque", and almost crapped my pants. Pythonesque is still mighty flattering. Thanks.

Gary, I greatly appreciate your kind words for Conjured Love.

Thanks, Gary, for your kind words about 'What the Future Holds...' A thousand words would be like War and Peace for me.

Hi, Gary. Thanks for reading ' Assiduity Nine.' I greatly appreciate your comments.

Thanks for your comment on Sitting Shiva.

Thanks for the read on "Casual Violence." Just needed to get that out.

Re: Princess Gary, I totally agree with you. Everything seems too wordy these days.

Hi Gary. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment on Elegy for the Old Republic ~ it's a rant that should be delivered slam style.

Thanks so much for your stellar comment on Psychotherapy, God and Me.

Thank you belatedly for your insightful comment on Rin-Tin-Tin.

Thanks for reading my Afghanistan story, Gary, and for letting me know how much it touched you. These endless, unwinnable wars are wearing me down, breaking my heart. Peace.

Gary, thanks for the read on "Low Country Boil." Saw this or something like it unfold from across the way one night on Sullivan's Island.

Thank you for your kind comment on the Diary of Anne Frank's Daughter.

I am so deeply grateful and flattered by your high praise of my last two installments of Birds of Prayer. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I see you’re in Plano. I had a friend who lived NE of where the beltway intersects with JFK. Hadn't see him in years.. Was a grad school roommate. I want to say there was a hotel called the Grand Kapinsky or something like that up there. Seemed like it was closev to Frito Lay Nat. Hdqtrs.

I said, “I’ll bring some beer,” and he said “let me tell you where the liquor store is.” But there were Liquor stores all over, no? I’d seen a big one just off the beltway in Richardson, nearby. My friend said that that was the one. The only one around up there in that N. Dallas desert.

Thanks, Gary for reading "Vanity Chair." Cheers!

Gary; Re Suicide Notes -- Gary, I understand and don't understand what you are saying. I am who I am. I have a personal investment in how it turns out. But I adore your comments. They are so thoughtful and challenging and make me think. Thank you so much.

Gary, glad you liked Riding with the King.

Gary, I took all your suggestions for I'm Taking my Bath with my iNuke and it's much better. I appreciate all your generous time and thought. My husband had told me it needed more editing and polishing but did I listen to him?

Thanks for the read and kind comment on Fat Tuesday.

Gary, thanks for praising my latest. Much appreciated.

Gary, thank you so much for your Question Authority response to my story Reading at the Table. I wrote a more detailed response there.

Amazing range of voice contrasting We Should Be Hoardes and Existential. The latter was stunning and I'm glad you sent me to it. I look forward to reading more of your work.

Hi Gary, I am so thankful to have a reader like you. Means much that you enjoyed Saturday Morning. Best, HM

Or maybe yang and yin! Thanks, Gary, for commenting on the Tapeworm poem.

Hi Gary, glad you liked "Out of no way, way". Thank you.

Appreciate your words about The Measure of Love, Gary. I'm so drawn to Hess's approach to painting - in work after work. I was hoping my words & form could get at my reaction to his work.

Thanks for your comment on The Cull me Cuddle me of the Call-me-to-you and the Terrifying smell of Downstairs. x

Hi, Gary. Thanks for reading 'Truth Or Consequence.' I greatly appreciate your concise analysis: "Socratic dialogue with erotic coda." And *.

Thanks for the nice comment, Gary. I really appreciate the encouragement (especially when I am working on new things and worried that they may be coming off as too sentimental).

Kait

Thanks for commenting on "Joan of Dark." Glad you liked it, Gary!

Thanks for your comment on "This is the Way It Is" Gary! I appreciate your comment very much. Bulowski wrote a little poem which I'll have to paraphrase because I can't put my hands on it at the moment but it goes something like this: It's not the big things that drive a person mad. It's the little things. Like your shoelace breaking, when there's no time left."
Thanks again!
