Thanks for your comments on my poem, Steven. Appreciate you stopping to read.

Thank you so much for the comment x

Thanks for reading Sweetie and Jack, Steven. Happy New Year!

Steve,

Thank you for reading Something About Your Mother! Some things we never forget. Appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Hey Steven. Gotta say I love McCabe and Mrs Miller too. May be Altman's masterpiece.
And thanks for digging Hold My Hand. Captain Jack lives!

thanks XXXXXXXXX

Thanks for your response to "On the Roof." So glad you found the piece engaging!

Thank you for your comment, Apple abuse is somethin to be read aloud about for sure.

Thanks so much for reading and commenting on When I Was Nine. Now, off I go to drink beer and dance!

Thank you so much for your comment on "Bird Noises." Yeah, Bird France used to have a lot more flowers and archaeological excavations. Also, where did the free health care go?

Steven, your comment made me rethink the ending. Thank you for your help with The Chance of Rain!

Thank you, Steven! That was a very, very, good comment to get for My Early Thirties!

Thanks for the comment on "Progresso."

Thanks for reading and commenting on my poem Steven. Cheers!

Heh Heh, Steve. Another Billy Idol fan I see. Plastic Jesus/Magnetic Mary reminds me of a photo I saw during the Terry Schiavo protests in Florida in 2005. Maybe you've seen it. Some guy driving around with a lifesize Jesus Christ nailed to a cross that was anchored to a boat trailer. It was hinged to allow the cross to pop up for its normal display. It was often referred to as Jesus Christ on a Trailer Hitch. I think that's taking things a bit far, but on the flip side it seems like a good starting point for a story.

Anyway, thanks for the read and comment on Sensation: Holy Virgin Mary, written in response to the controversy over Chris Ofili's interpretation of the Virgin Mary.

Thank you for the kind feedback on "Practice" Steve. I'm not as comfortable with prose as I am with poems, so your feedback means a lot.

Thank you for reading and commenting on Michelle from Southport, Steven. I think I live for comments sometimes.

HEy dude, thank you for your kindness on the horse witht eh beguiling smile micro/poem it means a lot. you rock ! it is always hard to share shit that is so dark.

Thanks, Steven, for your comment about Night Moves. I like that kind of story, too. Could be about lots of things. I'll let you decide...

Thank you for those valuable words on my writing, sir.. :-)

Hi, and thanks for your comment on "A Note Left on the Counter."

Hi Steven - thank you so much for commenting on Daddio.

Steve, it's a real treat to see your comment at "Listing." I get the idea you do know something about poetry. I guess the most important thing is that it moves you. And if mine did, then that makes my day. Thank you.

Thanks very much for the kind words on Spring Uprising

Thank you for your comments on my story!

Steve: Thanks for the strategic approval of Spring Fever.

Steven,
Thanks for reading and commenting on the Dowagers piece.
- Brian.

Steven, I didn't give it a helluva lotta thought. It just sorta squirted out. Glad you liked it. I didn't add that while we waited by the stage door Bob Denver rode up on a bicycle and escorted us to the set. Friendly, humble, seemed like an old friend.

Belated thanks for your comment on The Fly.

Thanks for you comment on "Good Boy", I was aiming for the dog's viewpoint.

Thank you for the kind response to Tics. I enjoyed French Piss enormously and look forward to the next piece in the Rawanda suite.

Thanks for commenting on the poem, Steven. Much appreciated.

Thank you, Steven:)

Hello, Steven. Thank you for your insightful commentary on "The Swiss Lunch". I look forward to reading your work.

Thanks so much for your interesting comment on Forgiveness.

Hi Steven and apologies for not responding faster to your kind comment on my microfiction. Newbie navigator. I'm so glad for your approval. Thx again.

It is funny in an absurd way, not being able to concentrate on TV, the lowest of the lows.

Thanks, Steven, for commenting on White Cliffs. "Cinematic" means a lot, and something I most often strive for.

So much kindness and empathy in your Chrysalis comment, means so very much to me. I never even thought of that. The loneliness of bipolar, where you are always on a different plane than everyone else. Thank you for that gift.

Thank you and Happy New Year, Steve. You are a keeper-friend. I have to catch up and read more of your work. I will.

Blue Angel: That's a beautiful comment. Of course they are death machines. And this particular son is my most intuitive and cynical. Thanks for that.

Thanks, Steven for reading "Menthol." This voice has been misunderstood for years. I'm happy you and some of the good folks at Fictionaut enjoy it.

Thanks Steven for your kind words on Pastoral Hide & Seek!

Thank you, Steven. And I'd better see you around Fictionaut. I need my fellas. Nonnie

Thanks for EX!

Thank you so much for reading and commenting on my "coffee mug" story. Your kindness ("you’ve sung a true song") has kept me walking on clouds for days. Thank you.

And to tell you the truth, I don't remember how I broke the mug. Funny, I have no memory of how it happened, at all.

Graduate school? You sure you can take the pain?

Steven, much warmed by your kind words for Four Hearts and a Vase of Jonquils.

Steve, thank you for your kind comments on "Texas Route 29." Gotta treasure earnest praise from a bear Republican!

And. Reading and liking. Me talk pretty.

Thanks, Steven for reading "Belt." I find these violent pieces the hardest but quickest to write. There's a companion piece to this one that is a much longer story.

Thank you so much for your so sweet comment on The Hair.

Steven, I much appreciate your encouraging words on my poem "Why Men Compete"

Thank you for commenting on my poem Steve. I hope you travel safe and that your flights provide both good food and inspiration.

Thanks for your comment on Tribe.

Steven, sometimes crap just happens in my head. Dunno why just try to get it on the page when I can. Thanks for faving "The Man in a Blue Ski Jacket"

Hi, Steven. Thanks for reading 'Assiduity Five.' I greatly appreciate your comment.

Hi, Steven, thanks for reading and commenting on "Muddy Creek." I tried to center it in what I came to think of as a death culture growing up in the country. It's cool you picked up on that.

Re: Muselmann I am so deeply, deeply flattered. It means a great deal to me and is so, so validating that you said that. I never quite know what reaction to expect when I write about the Holocaust and my relationship to it.

You are horrible to laugh that the suffering never ends in Great Expectations. I am horrible too. I laugh and read it again and laugh again.

Thanks for your funny comment on Mother's Day. Comments are taking forever to reach me these days and I have to look into it. The story still makes me laugh.

Thanks for your comment on Catechism.

Hi Steven, thanks for liking Suzy and Emily! So naughty. Ha.

Steve, thanks for the kind comment of "A Change of Heart."

Thanks for the comment on "Agra Road," Steven.

Steven, thanks for commenting on "Tractors" and for your kind words.

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

Thanks Steven, for your nice words at The Waiting Game.

Thanks for such flattering words about "Wiscasset, Maine," Steven. You made my evening!

Thanks so much for the validation of Rin-tin-tin. What a great show. Who would think of that now?

Hi Steven, thanks for your comment on Madness, and for bringing up the most maddening yet fascinating character, Mr. Manson. I used to watch documentaries on him and wonder if any of that seeped into my story.
Cheers!

Thank you for your Birds of Prayer comment focused on the challenges of Mosey's voice. I loved that man too.

Steven. Sorry. (posted too soon!)

Thank you for your comment on "Want", Steven. Appreciate it.

Thanks, Steven, for your comments on 'His Kind of Woman.' I'm glad you liked it.

Thanks, Steven, for commenting on "Bare, Ruined Palace." Glad you liked the poem.

Thanks for checking out Riding with the King.

Thanks, Steven. I like that detail too but I wasn't sure what it conveyed to the reader. Good to know it's doing something.

Cheers!

Steven,

Re: the Blogspot. I retired that particular blog
a few months back.

Forgot to pull the link off my Fictionaut profile.

By summer, I plan to hook up a new website on Word Press.

Best,

Dennis

Thanks, Steven, for commenting on 'Checkout.' Gave me a chance to read your bio. Just finished Mentor by Tom Grimes, so I feel I know a bit about your time in Iowa.

Steven, you do know the sauna is a religion in Korea? They've built multi-storied cathedrals that welcome all, especially men who have been kicked out by their wives and need a place to spend the night. Thanks so much for commenting on "Mixtape".

steven, avocado rats are those sleek-coated lovelies that infest our avocado trees and gnaw at the precious bounty. they're large, voluble, and must perish. thanks for the positive feedback on the stories. i'm working hard to produce enough for a book-length manuscript. cheers, james

Thanks for reading and enjoying Mark E. Smith, Steven. I look forward to reading some of your work. It's hard to keep up with all the work that people put up.
