Glad to see some things are universal. I must say I have watched my share of pictures of London from atop a double decker bus in the rain. This was a very honest and funny story.
If Not For The Cats

This story was such fun. I hope the author has it right. Cats should be God. Nothing is a better judge of character. I found the story well written and developed on a very sensible line. This site is highly entertaining. Thanks to both the author and the editor of the site.

This author is definitely in touch with their inner child. The poem is a fun and humerous look at the types of questions kids ask every day. I can't wait to read it to my two little cousins. This poem would make a great children's book.

This is so cute! I like it when you read this one on poetry night, but I wish you had some pictures to go along with it! I'll bet the kids where you work love this one! You know, if you were able to turn this one into a book, the whole "wibble" thing could take off. I could just see wibble t-shirts and dolls and I don't even know what a wibble looks like. How do you picture a wibble as looking?

You have painted a vivid portrait of your home's entrance and the plants which thrived there for awhile. I liked the way you tied the lesson on impermanence into such a simple experience we have all had. Celebrate life and beauty while it is with us and let it go when it must change. Thank you.

It snowed today where I live, yes April 3rd and snowing. I very much enjoyed visiting the authors garden in India. I especially loved the imagery of the hot, dry dusty summer. This author has a way of painting pictures with his words and his love for a plant is something I can truly understand. I have a magnolia tree myself.

I love to read English used this way. The author turns prose into poetry. Always nice to find a new vision. This author certainly has one, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. More please!

WOW! I've been writing, critiquing and editing four decades and nothing I've ever encountered "cold" has excited me as much as this. Grabbed me from the first few words and absolutely refused to let me go.
