You have to find that place - even for that hour; just yours with no thinking. Your writing is one good escape. I needed to "get away" badly a couple of weeks ago and wrote about Paris and Vegas and The Nile. Just thinking of them gave me some peace. I know it's easier said than done, though. Just want you to get what's yours. Thanks for reading and for your review. Always love you to stop by. :-)) Sue

What a joy to wake up to an "exceptional" from you on my poem. Your lovely compliments are so appreciated!

I know you can relate, as your plate is MORE than full!
(p.s. - how is your foot doing now? Are you able to get up and around better?)

Again, thank you very much!
With warmest regards,
Sue

As a mother myself, I can SO relate to this piece, but the best line of all is the last. The sand imagery was well done also. :)

This is a very well writeen poem. I was surprised to see it is a poem, as it is labeled as a short story. I agree that "a gem is best when rare". Keep up the great work.

Good

As much as I like the work in itself, I just had a lot of trouble with this line-
A tranquil place for me, abound
I just can't make it sound right no matter how I read it! I don't even think it's gramatcally correct, but I am no English major either.
You gotta do something about that cuz!
Always,
Curt
