Ms D – It’s not the dance as much as the way your words awaken other wise dormant thoughts and ideas. Your words awaken my imagination and I thank you.

I don’t know how you write like this, and have bills. I’m printing it so I can read and digest every word. [I don't have a laptop. Sucks.] I wish I had a cigarette.

I walked the streets alongside you, meeting the characters as if corporeal.
Your imagination and mine intertwined, and I wished you the joy of love and relationship that I stumbled upon at 17 and have forever since enjoyed.
Intimate, Jane. This is so intimate.
The maternal me wants to wrap you in my arms, hold you in my lap and rock you in the rocker; and then assure you there is better you deserve better, you will get better. It’s out there on your horizon.

You are a remarkable wordsmith and artist, but a godawful judge and critic.
This piece is a film- with well defined characters who live beside us and streets that we all walk and truths we often choose not to see.
I walked with you and saw what you saw and felt what you felt. A different time and a different place and a different woman…but I was with you.

Reminds me of Rod McKuen when he was at his best. No, I’m not saying you write “like him” but your depth and cadence have faint echos of him. It’s not that you paint like him but simply that you paint in different colors and different brush strokes. It’s evocative.

Next time I am bringing popcorn to read your blog. It was exactly like V-Grrl said – it was a full length movie full of imagery and story. I am ready for the sequel. Write, Jane, write. Paint your pictures of words.
