Fa-la-la-ing and Decking the Halls...
Dearest RB friends –
Like most of you, I’ve been decking the halls, shopping, wrapping up classes for the fall semester, baking, sending packages and all of those Christmas seasonal things and for those reasons along with some other far less interesting ones, I’ve not been able to be here very much lately or to keep up with your amazing and inspiring work. And also like you,...
A worthy cause during this holiday season....
Several weeks ago, a good friend and fellow RB member, Russell Holder, wrote to me telling me of his new book of poetry about to be published.and of his commitment to try to raise money for two little girls dying of leukemia. That book is now in print and I’m passing along his ordering information and the name of the little girl he is trying to support. He has included a number of means of “ver…
My thank yous to RB and some special groups...
It is such an honor to have a work featured by groups here that represent the very best of what one hopes is a worthy work of verse or art. I am just incredibly honored that my most recent poem, Silent Stones was featured first by two wonderful groups – Light of Love…Invite Only Group...
An explanation for the intermittent presence - lol.
With sincere apologies to all of you whose amazing and wonderful work I’ve missed in the past several weeks. I know that I have only been able to be here intermittently and in those few sporadic visits have managed to catch new posts only if they are right at the top of my activity page when I come on. I’m managing only a few minutes a day – some of that to answer bubble mails from lovely frien…
Long overdue thank yous and an explanation...
Hello friends -
I’m so sorry to have been able only to pop in periodically and catch a little bit of all your lovely and creative work. I know I’ve missed a great deal though I’ve tried to get a taste of something from almost everyone on my limited appearances. And I’m afraid there are going to be days like that for a while yet – but believe me when I say that it is a hardship not to be abl…
Involuntary absence - and a few thank yous as well
I’m terribly sad to have missed so much of your incredible work – the extraordinary poetry, the exceptional art and photography that all of you create. It is positively astonishing how much you can miss in just a few days absence – I think I might be 20 pages or more of activity in the backlog! But I’ve had a bad flare up of a painful and persistent health issue that makes it very hard to si…
A literary artist worth knowing from a fan a bit late to the party!
Having been away from RB for quite a number of months, I was thrilled when I returned to discover some incredibly talented writers that I had clearly missed when I was active here before. I’m not easily moved to shouting accolades when there are so many deserving writers and poets here but I honestly feel the need to share my feelings about one of them because I believe that he just might be at…
So many thank yous...
I don’t know why I find this so difficult to do – to publicly acknowledge that any of my work has been featured. It just is – lol. But the gratitude I feel for the groups – and the hosts – who have honored me in this way exceeds that reluctance so it is with overwhelming appreciation for their support that I do this now. So please – go visit these amazing groups and hosts rather than comment he…
Thank you Midnight Ramblers and...
I’m so thrilled by the honor of being featured for my latest poem, Fahrenheit by this wonderful writing group, Midnight Ramblers hosted by the lovely Lisa Jewell and the talented Matthew Mitchell. I’m just incredibly happy about this one – it meant a lot to me!
And ano…
A singular honor - thank you RB
I’m so honored to have my work chosen to be showcased on the featured writing page for RB. That has not ever happened to me before in the time I’ve been a member and it means so much that the “powers that be” think enough of my latest poem, OMEGA to feature it along side the work of some of my favorite authors here on the bubble. ...
