The voice in my head reading this was a choir of children, so it was extra creepy, yet still whimsical. Great creepy rhyme!

What a magical, mythical, melancholy poem. I 🖤it!

Thanks, Garen. She came out interesting, but got much more “real” when I changed her name.

I don't know why but Yasa made me a little teary instead of creeping me out. Loved it!

Thank you! I can see that. It’s as if she’s an old being. Maybe forgotten. Probably lonely.

Awesome, I knew you were an amazing poet too! Yes I have many ideas percolating and I’m also developmentally editing a murder mystery at the moment. Lots to juggle!

I can make some words rhyme sometimes. :) A murder mystery! Looking forward to that.

Love it. You've inspired me to get out and do some of my own weeding.

I have to multi-task sometimes. Plotting and pulling is a good way for me to do it.:)

Very nice! I've been looking forward to reading your poetry. What's this 'Where There's Smoke'? I didn't know you had another book! I'll add that to my TBR ASAP! Happy Independence Day to you.

Thank you, Katharine! I kind of forget about it, which is odd, but I’m tired. ;)
