Read MoreYou bloom at dusk... just as the dead should. Your wilted scent and bittersweet aroma... an echo of what was ours... nostalgia of what was lost. A hauntingly beautiful scent, indeed! Then these stormy mornings bring gentle mournings... when your grace has decayed! Your wilted petals now blush in love...

Daniel,
There’s something about your work just does it for me…It’s always so haunted, so beautiful in, dare I say a morbid way.
It’s achingly beautiful and resonates deeply within me. I’m a huge fan.xx

Gawdess, thank you! It’s my pleasure, and hopefully as well for other readers. I’m honing my skills towards the gothic genre with a surreal twist. It seems to be turning out good, haha. I’m focusing more on gothic stories now. Again, thank you!

This is so incredibly scintillating. You write this succubus with the virtuosity of a poet who knows her craft and knows it well. I could feel this deep in my core. I was seduced and stimulated by your fiery sensual words.

Thank you so much my friend and reading and really feeling my poem. New Orleans has made an amazing comeback. I haven’t been back to Mardi Gras since Katrina. But I have visited the city several times since. I miss the city. I love that city I once called home.

New Orleans is where jazz and funk music got there start. Where second-line drumming and parades flourish, and where jazz funerals are carried out. I was sad to see what Katrina did to the french quarter. I’m sure a place like that will always come back from whatever tragedy affects it.

Thank you so much Tim for understanding and expressing your great empathy for the tragedy that happened to my city when Katrina came. I lived in New Orleans as a child and remember those cultural events you spoke of. New Orleans has indeed come back. Fortunately the French Quarter didn’t flood as bad as the rest of the city. It was spared the worst. I miss that city. I live seventy miles from New Orleans now. It was a diverse and culturally rich place for me to grow up.

Hi,
Thanks for your kind words. I think everyone goes through something harrowing at school. It’s never easy to be a kid. I think people have gone through far worse than me. It stays with me none the less.
I think the school environment could be improved to minimise the damage to kids. The trouble is governments are bankrupt, from years of corruption.
I am glad you read it.
Regards James
