Life's Like that

I particularly enjoyed NO PIECE OF CAKE, VALENTINE, and THAT IS THE BEST. I sometimes wonder if we are all married to the same man.

Dear Ms. Parrish, Whoever described your poetry as short stories certainly hit the nail on the head. I have enjoyed them. I printed Gossip out and hung it on the office bulletin board. I look forward to Monday for a new installment.

This poet has such a wonderful way with words. Each poem is a gem, but may I say that Requiescat touched a cord with me. I believe I saw this on television. The digging up of the Roman graves in the English cemetary. I too felt it was a sin to disturb them for the sake of "science. " Maybe, that is easy for me to say since we don't have Roman graves where I live. I believe your poetry gave her back some of her lost dignity.
Living The Dream

Country: United States of America
I really enjoyed "Living The Dream" more than I originally thought. It was engaging and left me wanting more. How does it end? Did Derek win the contest? Did Meg meet Jake? Does she find a new job and start her new life? Please let me know if you have finished the story. Thank you for writing!

Country: Ireland
I could not stop - eventhough I'm sure I know what's going to happen (or maybe becasue I think I know (hope) what's going to happen I loved it. I was right there in Meg's house until the last line when I kind of jolted back to this world.
A lovely story - I hope she doesn't meet him too soon though and that its not all smooth sailing - that would be boring!!

Mama and Mr. Moody
By: Dorothea Boyd Wolfe
First Name: Emily
Country: United States of America
I have read both stories written by this author. I find them to be interesting, well constructed, and a very worthwhile use of my time. I hope to see more of her work. I enjoy your web site very much. It offers a wide variety of stories and I really enjoy the poetry.
First Name: Barbara
Country: United States of America
A delightful story that kept my interest. I could not put it down until I had read it through. It swept me up into Mama's family where there was love, togetherness, good morals, integrity and a great lesson to be learned. Thanks Dorothea B Wolfe!

Country: Australia
Well done, Ms. Wolfe. I hope this is a memory rather than an invented story. I had parents who also placed great value in The Lord. My memories are much like yours. I can not see a Bible without hearing the music on that old pumping organ. Your story made me hear the sounds again.
McFee And EllaLee
By: Amy Temple
First Name: C.W. Darlene
Country: Canada
Perhaps not catchy enough for the age group I think it is aimed at 5-8, the rhyming is not consistent and some of the lines seem violent for this age group, for example the two charactors grabbing weapons. Also too long without anything actually happening.

I loved your story! If I knew how to draw I'd want to illustrate it. Such fun!

First Name: Sandy
Country: United States of America
To make someone happy is so very very kind.
But to make a story all rhyme is a bit of a bind.
Your story's quite charming.
The pics quite disarming.
I love the bird and buddy…
and hope the kids do too.

My wife and I read this story to our grandchildren today. They enjoyed the story very much and the pictures were a treat for all. May I also say, it was great fun to read aloud.
On Age
By: James McAfee
First Name: Richard
Country: United States of America
I liked the philosophical approach to defining age. It was draggy through the first 30% but then became more complex and picked up pace. I tend to not worry about unlikely and unpreventable things so the nuclear bomb threat never greatly concerned me but then, I'm also older and was adult by the "hide-under-the-desk" syndrome impinged on younger minds. The analytical process seems to get better as it goes along. By the end I was fully enjoying it. In the whole, I'd rate it as better than average for a beginning writer but because of probably a limited audience, not likely to find high marketability.

I thoroughly enjoyed this short essay and found it very thought provoking and entertaining.
