Thank you for checking. Seems an odd glitch.
Thanks, Ginger. Now, when I go back and look at the comments, they are all "blue." I am going to hit "like" again. Please let me know if it shows up again on your time line, when you get a chance.
I really appreciate all the votes and comments I have been receiving, and I hit "like" for the comments. Or I think I do: meaning, when I go back and look, the "like" area is still blue, so I hit it again, and it turns gray. Then, later, I go back, and it is blue again. So I hit it again. So, are my "likes" registering? Am I overliking? How can I tell?
Paul, can you hold Ginger's place?
This line moves too fast
For my morning brain -
Next time I come back,
You'll just see my name!
Your battle of wits
Has been fun to read
But let us face facts:
Now it's just me
Toast: an ode
Oh bread all pale and flimsy
I want you golden brown
I put you in the toaster
And wait and wait around
And as I wait, a random thought
Distraction, oh so slight
A second more, that's all it takes,
and out pops anthracite!
You came back!! I am so happy to see you!!
Being new here, and someone who has not frequently shared my writing (and gone through years and years where I did no creative writing), I am really enjoying what I am doing and what I am writing. I tend to be particularly fond of a specific turn of phrase within a work, and find myself thinking of it over and over -- rather than feeling strongly about an entire piece. I doubt that I will ever create a piece that will thrill me entirely, beginning to end, but there is a certain elation about putting a piece out there, liking it well enough myself, and not being fearful of what others will say.
Has a problem with Gandhi
Banned for complaining that Paul leaves the seat up . . .
Me: you have something on your cheek - a smudge or something -
CK: here?
Me: a little higher
CK: (rubbing)
Me: yeah, it's not coming off - I don't have a mirror - I'll wait while you take care of that . . .
