Thank you dear! I appreciate the feature. I'm taking a wild guess that illustrating our own literature (or vise versa) is not kosher for the contest?

Sure.

No, you have to use someone else's work for the contest. Sorry.

That's okay, and I figured as much. But since I've long thought about trying to illustrate some of my own writing, I figured I'd ask. (You might want to specify in the announcement, regardless.)

I'm flattered. This was one of those rare pour-out-your-soul moments for me, I'm glad that translated. Thank you for faving it, I appreciate the support.

This is really beautiful. I love your elementary imagery. I can completely relate to your 2nd to last stanza. Wind and rain soothe me in a way nothing else can. I truly love this.

I'm also in awe of your ability to use lit templates, especially since I assume this one is your own.

Heh. A gradient top to bottom and some added brushes. Not a whole lot to this one.

People look at me strange when I go out in the rain barefoot and just stand there getting wet. My parents have seen me do it a huge number of times, and they still get this odd look on their faces.

During a thunderstorm when I was 10, my grandmother walked in and said to me "Horrible day we're having out there!" I wasn't really thinking and I just said. "I think it's beautiful." She got kind of mad, guess she thought I was being a smart-a$$.

I have no clue how to use brushes, so I'm still impressed.

I could see that pissing off my parents if I said something similar. Which I totally would.

Brushes are easy once you get used to them. Have you tried a design program like Photoshop or GIMP?

I haven't...I'm intimidated. I can brighten and sharper, etc in photoshop and do some minor crops and copy-and-paste edits, but that's it.

If you have the program I can explain how to do some basic stuff with it. If you'd like.

I had to be in a certain mood to write these, but I really feel it deeply at times. When I take the time to remember, I can feel peaceful.

Thanks. I think there'll be more coming... it's a new angle for me. I have to try a few poems/short entries to get a feel for it. Glad you liked it!

Thanks. And thanks for the fave. It's just not... I dunno. Things aren't quite as expressive as I'd like when I write with a migraine.
