It does not mean that I am disregarding those who have been kind enough to visit - but life beyond or before or any other descriptive word one wants to use 'outside' of the 'net' comes first. <br /><br />So I agree with Rallentanda. If writing is the goal then we all need to accept that writing comes first without related stress of obligatory returns. Some folks make it difficult to visit by not giving us easy options. And other that, they do make us smile even if we can't get to comment right away - I think they also know and understand that we enjoy them even when we are late in showing our appreciation. And it is for those (as well as ourselves) that we write for. So thank you Kristjaan for the prompts and the place to put them. <br /><br />And thanks to for the e-books. I, being technically challenged didn't realize how easy they were to access and just read your gift 'For the Sake of the Moon' this morning. Thank you for the honor of being a part of such a lovely collection. <br />Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571987715911379165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512327745848627452.post-6597784223412540992014-12-01T11:25:48.279+01:002014-12-01T11:25:48.279+01:00I think we all know how difficult it is to comment...I think we all know how difficult it is to comment everyone's efforts, and how much more for you who also create these wonderful prompts.

My family never spoke of him until I wrote a book of haiku and tanka sharing everyone's favorite childhood memories 22 years latter. I gave them out during a Christmas dinner, where they had to sit and talk. So much healing and sharing.

We are all busy adults. As far as I am concerned one of the best things about your poetry site is that there is no pressure by admonishments insisting on comments be made, unlike some other poetry sites which practise an infant school policy namely, if your receive a comment you must reciprocate . Of course everyone would do this given time and inclination. rallentandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06980559347805844568noreply@blogger.com
