So glad you joined and are having fun. Never thought I would be working on a site like this. Loved your poem and it fit my life exactly. Just like you wrote it from my background or so it looks. Loved it. Great job.

    Glad you liked it and could relate. This was extra fun to write. I have always been a fan of dangling participles, but seldom get the chance to mention them. Thanks for dropping by. By the way, have you considered writing a piece entitled "Seriously Sleepless in Seattle"

This was so much fun! Great way to start my workweek, and I thank you for this coffee break. We seem like kindred souls, having to read Beowulf and then later in life, turning back to play with words like we do. Great accompanying art for this one! Good luck in the contest.

    What better value hath a man than to help a lady start her workweek! And to find a fellow "Never Beowulfer" is a treat, as well. Yes, those English lit days were difficult. I know of at least two former English teachers who are looking down, shaking their heads at my poetry and saying, "Seriously?" Well, I'll let you get back to work. I remember working. I was never that good at it...

Love it - especially the little moment at the outset 'the yearn to write lives within' and then the unfolding, as it were, of the process'No missing or dangling participles' and then 'give it some hours to mellow'- thanks for sharing

    Starting my day with an "Exceptional" score
    Is truly pleasing - I could ask for no more.
    Full disclosure: dangling participles, they be
    Like prepositions at endings? That's the true me!

    Thanks so much!
