Hi Foster. Thanks for the kind words about "The High Line, NYC" and thanks for the star! Happy holidays.

Thanks for your fantastic comment and fave on "Feeling fences" and indeed, as you astutely noticed, I tried to put a lot of subtext between the lines (just like a fence).

Thanks for EX!

Frohe Weihnachten!

Orwellian lives.

Foster, thanks for reading and commenting on "Muddy Creek." I'm honored that you liked it.

Hi Foster! Thank you for reading and commenting-I would have done this sooner, but Meg just taught me how. I'm so glad you liked "In Time." Marie Fitzpatrick is helping me put a collection of poems together, and I'm working diligently now, but I'll read your work soon.

Thanks, sir, for the kind words on Cupid's Marksmanship.

Hi Foster - Thanks for reading/faving "Telling." I'm glad you liked the story!

Thanks for the fave of "A Piece of Him," Foster!

Foster, I don't think I'd have the guts to be the kind of teacher I portray in "The List," though when I was teaching, I had some squabbles with the administration, and I came out okay.

Thanks for your endorsement of the story!

Thanks, Foster, for reading and commenting on "I'm Not Emilio Estevez"!

Foster, thanks for the kind words on Power Outage. Your support means a lot to me. Keep on banging out the good words.

Thanks so much for your kind words about "Mother Lies."

Thanks for faving the visa poem. The title is admittedly bizarre. Guess I had visas on my mind!

"All this from that little picture?" — it must have been one of those bloodbath days. i don't have many of them & i cherish it when the dark muse comes visiting...thanks foster for commenting!

Thank you for not 'giving up' on 'Insatiable' and giving it a go. I appreciate you taking the time and for your comments.

Foster, thanks for the nice comment on "Visiting Sally"--and for the star. One of those oddities of fate. My friends' kid Kurt did all right.

Thanks mucho for checking out "Movie Night."

Thanks for commenting on "The Empty Bed," Foster. Appreciate it!

Glad you liked my Temp Passport & thanks! X

Foster! Thanks for commenting on Wild and wondering about viciousness. Still exploring such things in other works. :)

- Felicia

Hi Fos: Thank you for commenting on and liking my poem "Play." It was an interesting piece to write, and I'm glad its final incarnation works so well.

Thanks for the comment and fave on 'Rain' - hope you and the family are getting plenty of sleep? ;)

Thank you for reading my untitled poem. You have a great "About Me" section too!

- Felicia

Foster, Thanks for commenting on and faving "We Must be Carefully Taut."

Thanks, Foster. We all could've used Bogdan in high school! Bogdan is a common Polish and Eastern European name.

Thanks for commenting on and faving the poem.

Thanks Foster for reading "Nature of Things." (And your continued support of my work.)

Ciao Forest--
Sto bene, grazie! Adesso sono a Torino. Grazie mille per il tuo "fave" sul "Fish". Questo capitolo e un piccolo parte di il mio romanzzo. Spero tu sei bene! Grazie ancora. Ciao ciao, Isabell

Thanks for commenting on the Euclid poem. Last line was originally "the geography of space." Made a last minute change! It may change again!! Thanks for the fave.

Hey Foster, appreciate your comments on Snapshot.

Thanks for your kind comment on and fave of "Black Ice." Appreciate you as a reader, Fos!

E a Forest, grazie mille. Il tuoi complimenti sono molto apprezzati.

Foster - thanks for reading and commenting on "Traitor". Nice to hear from ya.

Hi Foster,

I just noticed your Italy story. What a great one! I can't think of a better place to write. Looking forward to reading more of your work.

Ciao,
Isabell

Foster, big thanks for your comment on "The Disease".

Thanks, Foster. Great comment on "Paradise Island." Yes, some (or much) ambiguity in the poem.

"these thoughts swim in your head"--well, that's what the male narrator thinks anyway. The truth? Well...

I kind of think the poem's more about him than it is about her.

Thank you for reading and commenting on Looking Both Ways. Glad you liked it.

Thanks for commenting on "The Lost Boys," Foster. Glad you liked it. Help with German? You know MUCH more German than I do!

Foster, thanks for reading and commenting on my 3 Short Shorts. I value your input, buddy!

Glad you liked "Demolition Derby, " Foster. Thanks for commenting! "Reverse cowboys bit of an off color joke!

Thank you so much for your very kind comments on 'A bottle of raspberries'. What a welcome!
All the best,
Gill

Hi Foster, can't thank you enough for your comments on Migration. Made my week.

Dear Foster,
Thanks so much for your kind comments on "Unsaid." I so appreciate your reading!!! You rock!

Thanks, Foster, but this was writ long before that pair started grabbing headlines.

Foster, Thanks for the comment on and star for "Ants." Just a little story about the neighbors. This stuff happens all the time around here.

Thanks for faving "Hitting the Wall," Foster. Your support of my work means a lot to me.

Hi Foster! Thanks so much for complimenting my story. I appreciate it.

Thanks for reading "Snapshots," Foster. And for the comment, too. And, oh yes, the star!

Thanks for the nice commentary and Fav, Foster. I'm slowly findng my voice again in this novel. Great to have your encouragment.

Stanza 3 my favorite too--three of my favorites Spanish-language writers as well--Peru, Cuba, Spain. Thanks for commenting on "Prowl Car," Foster. And for all your Twitter support!

Thank you so much for the comment to Repatriation! I appreciate it a lot.

Thanks, Foster for your comment on Headstone III. I know what you mean by "too well"!

Thanks for faving "Mad Love," Foster. It's one of those poems born from extreme paring down. That is to say, I wrote a long poem that didn't work at all, shaved off 7/8 of it, and what was left popped to life!

Fos, so glad you liked Tool! I happen to be fairly adept at tools. I wonder what that means?? Ha ha!

Hi Foster! A Life Told Twice was so clever and well told, I had to read it twice! ;)

Hey Foster, thank you so much for the read and comment!

Thanks, Foster! Glad you liked " 8 Ways of Looking at Waffles."

Foster, glad you got a kick out of "Here She Is." Thank you for your comment.

Foster, thanks so much for the great comment and fave for "The Bed." Much appreciated!

Foster, yer just a kid! You've got lots of good years left. Thanks for the nice comment about "Springtime"--and for the star.

Foster, thank you! Hope to see you and yours in NYC again soon.

Thank you for your very kind remarks on my piece for my mother on mother's day. They meant a lot to me.

Wow, Foster--high praise for "My Wife, My Love." I really appreciate it!

Hey Foster, thanks for your recent comments on "Loneliness." Much appreciated, and you rock.

Hi Foster. Thanks for your fantastic comments on alys.

Foster, thanks so much for your wonderful comment about "Men Are Beasts." Thanks for the star, too!

"Subtle but not." That's me in a nutshell, Foster. Thanks!

Hi Foster - You just totally made my day reading your comment on "Waiting." Thank you so much for the read and for the uplifting comment. It was a day where I needed an encouraging word. Many thanks!

Thanks for reading Tsunami. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for the great comment and the fave on Humpty Dumpty 2011, Foster! I'm very happy that you liked the story.

Foster (why do I always speak your name in an Australian accent?) -- anyways, so glad you liked Hog Heaven. Appreciate the read and the fondness for Three Dog Night.

Foster,
Thanks for faving the Translator poem. Your liking it means a lot to me.

Foster, I am beyond elated that you took the time to read and comment on Starlight. Thank you so much for your encouraging words. :)

Foster - thanks for the comment and * on "I Like It".

Hey Foster, you back? How was the trip? Glad you like Looseness, thanks and Happy New Year!

Thank you for your kind words about "A Night in Saudi Arabia." They are much appreciated.

Hi Foster, Thanks for reading Sam R, really appreciate your comments. And I'm sure he's saying those lines right now to some actress in his trailer...

Thank you for your kind words about loon, Foster. I very much appreciate them. Cheers. -- Q

Thanks, Foster. For your comment on "Lefty's." You are a Prince.

Hi Foster - Thanks so much for your kind words on "Willie Nelson" - I'm glad you liked it :)!

Thanks for the comment on "Dad and the Red Light," Foster. Glad you liked the poem!

Thanks for the comment and fave on Eat, Pray, Love, Foster! I'm so glad you liked it, and I appreciate the read!

Thanks, Foster, for commenting on and faving "Knot Eye." Just glad my poems work forwards. Amazed they can be read backwards.

And I cannot spell. *threw...

Great comment about "Son of Uncle Sam." Thanks for the read and for the insight about reading it backwards, Foster. Cool idea!

Hi Foster, would love to see you at the launch if you can make it!

Hi Foster. Thank you so much for your kind words on my story, Johnny Mercer's Pier.

Foster, I am so grateful for your comments on Centerpiece, as you know I'm a big fan of your work.

Cheers, Foster. Glad it wasn't just the opening line you liked... Thanks!

Thanks for the comment on Responsible! I appreciate the read.

Thanks for the kind words on Telephone. I appreciate the read!

Foster, as always, thanks and right back at you.

And I'm still thinking about A Life Twice Told. That one really sticks with me, Foster. I just love it. Have you sent it off somewhere? You should get it OUT there!!

Foster -- thanks so much for your comment and fave on Time to Rest. And I'm so glad I came to Burger and Fries -- is it part of a larger work? I think it could be... there is a lot there, but you know that more than anyone else, I reckon.

Hey, Foster. Thanks for the comment on and fav of "Parables for Rodin." Glad you enjoyed the poem.

Thanks so much, Foster, for your read on Between. Glad it struck a chord!

Thanks for the comment on A Night of Not Knowing. Looking forward to coming back here soon, off to work now. Did you get a job yet? I know what it's like not working for a long long time... and how hard it is to transition back to it... Good to meet you here. Will be back to read very soon.

Foster, our Esp must've crossed because you passed through my mind yesterday. Thank you so much for Summer in the City! Hope you are doing well

Thanks for your comment on my Amsterdam story. Yes, so many stories, so little time!

Thanks Foster :-)

Foster - thanks for the kind words about my story "Proposal". I agree, it was out of nowhere. It was from a prompt (as usual). Much appreciated!

Hey thanks for your comment on Pleiku Jacket.

You're on the money with the Hemingway parallel in "Snowed In." My early idol. This story was written a few years back. I've changed, I'm not sure whether for the better or worse.

Foster, Thanks for your kind note on Common Trade. I really appreciate it.

Foster, thanks for your read and great words on my St. Barts story.

Foster, the story you wrote is highly original. Let's face it-- once the first potter made the first pot, there were no more "so-called" original pots. But realistically, every time one puts pen to paper, another totally new and original world is created. The only similarity between your story and Cheever's was the meeting of father and son. Your story brought his to my mind. Yours is yours, his is his. They are both great stories. But yours is uniquely yours.

Foster, thank you so much for your kind comment about "Villa Monterey" - means a lot.

Foster, you are flying with Eight States Away-- Congrats, it's a hell of a good story

Thanks for the comments, Foster. "Eight States Away" is another awesome, awesome story, man.

Hey, Foster. Very cool, your comments on Little Walter, and, yes, I think we can all see ourselves in there somewhere. I had hoped so, anyway. Hurt is a lonely place and sometimes company can help. The character in this story is still hurting and may still have more to tell. I'm not sure. But thanks so much for taking time to give my work such a careful read.

Foster, Thanks so much for your comments on "Estranged." I try to write stories that have that good kind of ambiguity, something else going on underneath the surface. I can't take credit for it; it just happens. Sometimes I get lucky!

ps-- love Turgenev, too, esp Fathers & Sons

Again, thanks for the kind words, Foster. Glad you liked "The Birds."

That voice just got to me -- it's real and true and demonstrates such command; I look forward to reading more of your work.

I'm a Philly girl, or former, but return now and again for the pretzels and a whole lotta accent.

Thanks for the great review of "Quitting." Kind words. I really appreciate it.

well, it just hits close to home, and not so much situationally, just in a broader sense of how life moments become like phantoms that one time were warm and vibrant. Oh, i think it is okay to cry from time to time reading stories - what it really means, Foster, is that your writing is powerfully effective (and that i am a tad sensitive to the subject)

Foster, A Life Twice Told is one of those stories that stays with me. I think you went into a part of the unconscious mind where fear of death, that "what if" gets carried. And you did it masterfully for this story

thanks for your kind comment, foster. italy...if the memories still hang around, join the second tongue group for (virtual and actual) expatriates. enjoyed your story 'a very quiet evening' immensely. respect for knowing your themes - that bodes well.

right on man.

Most welcome, Foster.

Thanks, Foster, for reading and commenting on my story “Bobby Fischer in Budapest”!

wow, i didn't even know i had a wall, but i'm very happy to have you deface it.
