I'm still here, and hope _you're_ back long term. I've heard of the novel "Castle of Otranto."

We interrupt this collection of love-motivated sonnets for a haiku, _also_ motivated by love of Geralyn Rodgers. If you're not familiar with Japanese haiku, all you need to know is their one requirement: SYLLABLES, 5-7-5. I'm reminding God: I buried two wives before. Please let Geri...

Fourth Sonnet for Geralyn will try a whole new rhyme scheme; try to keep up. I spoke to her today by mobile phone. Hope also spoke with her, exchanging news. We heard about the chemo she infused; I promised I would help her fight the blues. She tried to keep distress out of her tone...

It appears that almost all of Mister Kessler's writing which is of interest to me is in the book "LIFE IS LOVE." Now I propose to try translating, from a cold start, a poem included in the aforesaid book, without consulting a SLOVAR {=dictionary}. Note that Kessler describes "party line"...

_Keep_ watching this space. I will soon be ready to do something here.

Dang! Here I'm telling about widely separated periods in a history of acoustic Christian music. Remarkably, this parallels a real- world experience revolving around one special woman. Geralyn, already saluted by poems of mine, was in my life as a pal when my first wife Mary was living. Decades...

CHAPTER TWO On his second morning of trekking, Ilya cut himself a suitable sapling. Durable though he was, there was something to be said for a walking stick. It would be inefficient to march with his weapons in his direct grasp; carrying the bow would hinder getting the axe into play, and...

There are, of course, multiple versions of the tale of how Ilya Ivanovich became Sir Ilya Muromets. Naturally, the Soviet cinema, despite having no problem with magical monsters, wanted no part of >GOD< getting glory for curing the cripple. Instead, the movie showed a herbalist doing the job. I...

Geralyn lives in Florida now, so I have no chance to meet her, but I communicate long distance. If you remember former forum participant Sculpted Thought, real name Salem Barker, he is an an authority on holistic medicine; I'm trying to persuade Geralyn to give that option a try. What can she...

Chief? Since I last messaged you, I've had cause to conclude that LifeMaiden passed away. Now I have a prayer request for someone else NOT to die. This is a woman about whom I've told EveningStar and Pholus the Centaur. Her name is Geralyn R0gers, and I've known her for most of my adult life...

Good lifelike detail here. It's true, human eyelids _are_ translucent to a bright enough light. I've experienced this.

COPPERFOX HOPES THAT THE REAL-WORLD LADY GERALYN ROGERS, WRONGED BY LIFE IN MULTIPLE WAYS, WILL SEE THIS PLOT ARC FROM HER HOME IN FLORIDA. EVENING STAR AND PHOLUS THE CENTAUR, WHO KNOW ABOUT GERALYN AND CAN EMPATHIZE, HAVE BOTH BEEN PRAYING ABOUT THAT GOOD WOMAN'S NEEDS. {{ Having given the...

SECOND SONNET {note the change in rhyme scheme} The members know my tales of Alipang, An Asian orphan granted a new home. He brought the Writing Club a change of tone, With dialogue which bore G-rated slang. The lovely Geralyn has shared with me Adoption steps-- Korean in our case...

CHUCK NORRIS WANTED TO GET A CHEST TATTOO, SO HE ASKED MR. T TO SHOOT HIM IN THE CHEST WITH A MACHINEGUN.

To plagiarize the A-Team, I love it when a plan comes together.

Hello! If you _don't_ like stories with miserably unhappy endings, _my_ fiction in The Professor's Writing Club should suit you. Heroes and heroines in my stories have to _earn_ their victories, but I allow them to achieve more than Frank "Dune" Herbert ever allowed _his_ characters to achieve.
