Bravo! You have really done a great job with this website. You devotion and attention to detail are quite apparent. I assume you are somewhat of a pro, or you’ve just been posting for some time now. At any rate, I’ve read over your posts and they made me grin. The way you connect with the reader is incredible. You’ve a whole lot of potential. Never stop!

Yes, it’s very frustrating for her. Frustrating for me too, but even more so for her.

Not only were there words floating in the kitchen, but they were food words. I like that image too.

I keep thinking about this post, and the image of words floating through the kitchen keeps coming to mind. I am sure the inability to communicate fully is so very frustrating for Katie, I can’t imagine….

Katie has been asking to see you and Thy as well. We’ll have to do another visit soon.

I do remember what Tom said. He’s the reason I’ve written what few poems I have.

As for you, I should have said that the ekphrasis event was the first time I submitted a poem and worried about the dreaded REJECTION. You requested that I submit poems for the anthologies, and since you had already heard me read them, I wasn’t too worried about rejection. The Literary Harvest is the only place where my poems have been published. Thank you for that, and everything else….

We love you too. I really do feel that the words are finally breaking free. At long last we are gaining ground with speech. And given that’s always been her biggest deficit, it’s a beautiful thing to see her make such great progress after all the hard work and frustration.

For a writer to have a child who struggles with words is almost ironic. Great post. Great poem. I am honored to have published your poems in the Literary Harvest anthologies. Remember what Tom said.
