Thank you so very much; you found what I’d tried to say: yes, silence into warmth

This is such a deeply moving piece. You take us there & there is a breathtaking place. I’m a sucker for dew-laden grass in the mornings.

Many thank yous, Willow. You have found what I tried to say without over-stating. Is said that feet soaked in dew remain innocent for life!

I could see this printed within a book. It’s just the right amount of personal note along with staying on a creative writing avenue. It’s mature (educated) yet intoxicating.
Well crafted poetry. -

I could go overboard with thanks, Styxian! I try very hard to get to the core of writing the use of my own words! I was initially a short story writer but now destined to try my hand at poetry. Not easy! Take care.

Hello FlatDaddy!
What a wonderful little story! I decided to read the text myself instead of listening to the recording. In the beginning it was a little confusing and hard to read, but after I while I developed a Texan accent! 😀 lol

I’m glad you liked it. I was an entertainer most of my life and this is one of my works I performed many times, sometimes for kids at the Austin Children’s Museum. Obviously, most of my pieces here are written for performance, but I have made audios for only a few of them. I will record others when I have the time and energy. Again, thanks — gal. If you wamt to hear that accent, try the Audio version here: https://starsrite.com/short-stories/the-tale-of-rabbit-jack-audio-version/
“Desert Wishes” is of the same type, but the audio seems to have disappeared.

You are a really good storyteller. I could not stop reading it once I started. Almost gave me a feeling of “Lean On Me”, the movie, and “The Wonder Years”, the TV show, combined. Enjoyed this.

Sorry not “Lean On Me” but “Stand By Me”

Very cool, thanks. It’s all true, you know. Story of my childhood.

My sister and I made a teepee of matches in the center of our living room and set it on fire. Nothing burned down, but the tile bubbled up. lol

Such a rich and layered piece. I love how it drifts like a dream, full of texture and sensation. The imagery feels both mysterious and intimate, especially in the way it moves from silence into warmth.
