  1. congrats on still poeming-a-daying!

    this piece is just right! good one!

  2. Jason, I tend to blather on trying to make my point on Poetic Asides, on my blog…

    You took a few well-chosen thoughts that spoke time, place, mood, isolation… BRAV-frickin-VO!

    See you tomorrow, I hope! Also hoping more at PA take time to click these links. Will keep encouraging that. Great work, publishable.

    • Very kind of you, Amy. Thanks so much for your thoughts.

  3. PS When my husband starts his new job and we are a bit more flush, I will buy your book, definitely. Ah, the blissful brokeness of being a pastor’s wife who’s unable to work outside the home! Time for a pity party, break out the Thunderbird and stoke a fatty!!
