  1. Wonderful, Stacey. Your delivery, it reminds me of someone. Part Patti Smith, but only part… elements of the cadence, perhaps. And maybe it reminds me of someone whose name escapes me, from back when I used to emcee that spoken word night decades ago. Or maybe it is some other kind of memory, I do not know. But it remains a familiar feel and I’m good with leaving it there.

    Either way, wonderfully done. Would you mind if I reblogged it?

    Thank you. 🐦‍⬛

  2. chrisnelson61 – Stourbridge, UK – Chris Nelson was born in East Anglia, but grew up in Birmingham when his family relocated when he was still a young child. After leaving school he studied computing at what was then Wolverhampton Polytechnic, before deciding that it was not a career path he wanted to follow. He retrained as a teacher and has taught in a primary school in Dudley since the mid 1980's. He has dabbled in writing short stories since his youth, but has began writing more seriously since the turn of the century. He lives in Stourbridge with his wife and two children.

  3. I have never seen any of your with before this- I can’t from Michael’s blog. But I am truly in awe of what I just experienced. This is what I want my poetry to be- something profound, really truly meaningful, without quite seeming it. Very glad I found this.
