You're a prince amongst tides you are.<br /><br />(Couldn't resist. Your moods and genres may vary in depth and grit, but your expressing dead on - whoops, pun there - is always superb.) Thank*you for this wonderful piece of non-peace, in the voice of 'another'. ~ Absolutely*KateKate Pilarcik ~ absolutelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12430278736281847787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243178661707887834.post-3652336517177143512010-05-28T13:10:44.151-04:002010-05-28T13:10:44.151-04:00Thanks all for your comments and feedback!

" < Great lead-in for the way two troubled father and son psyches had to travel. Not just through O'Hare, but all the places that made what matters not fully there.<br /><br />Kevin - where do you go inside yourself to bring out the unsettled soul? This choice of voice echoes the shadows the more. Superbly crafted from the tip tap type to how the feeling past a mere funeral - lingers on.<br /><br />Such great phrasings: <br /><br />"Memories, like long forgotten dreams came back in a rush of emotion and a hard punch to the chest, and in an instant I was just another ten year old kid on the street where I grew up."<br /><br />"The bar was hot and loud, packed with travelers just like him, all of them on their way someplace else – making time with strangers and sharing stories. The kind of strangers who struck up meaningful conversations and dispersed wisdom and advice but were never around afterwards to know how things turned out."<br /><br />SO VERY GLAD you brought this story home AT THE BIJOU ... and *yes*, when folks grasp their personal prized copy of HARBINGER*33 ... there's more to your tough genre writing they'll come to see.<br /><br />~ Absolutely*KateKate Pilarcik ~ absolutelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12430278736281847787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243178661707887834.post-16936183991424788582010-05-25T09:04:30.650-04:002010-05-25T09:04:30.650-04:00Excellent piece Kevin!Excellent piece Kevin!Harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09628269009060185397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243178661707887834.post-70826830877029920682010-05-25T05:44:38.662-04:002010-05-25T05:44:38.662-04:00Wonderful work, Kevin.Wonderful work, Kevin.Paul D Brazillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12881642426845398389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243178661707887834.post-43506538093778640092010-05-25T02:20:18.553-04:002010-05-25T02:20:18.553-04:00Quiet, but deep and very beautifully rendered.Quiet, but deep and very beautifully rendered.Pamila Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14398900249578356483noreply@blogger.com
