Dear Bill ~~ Your thoughtful and incredibly honest poem captured my attention. For anyone who’s ever had "pieces" of them "..taken/and replaced with fakes," with "pieces that aren't really me," or "trying to make it impossible/for my puzzle to be made whole again"...

Dear Kate ~~ This is amazing! Your very touching, inspiring and positive words have sent a reminder that it is me, "your dearest friend" that holds the answers to what I seek; puzzle pieces that can complete my puzzle of life. "Friend" is a pleasure, particularly the lines that read...

Re: Collaboration Station Week 3

I don't call myself a writer; I thought I'd give Collaboration Station an attempt. The first 3 lines are from a poem I started writing a month ago and it seemed that your art was the puzzle piece I needed to finish it! It is amazing how it all fits. -Mary Just when I think I had it all figured...
