A family sees a former foster child on a school bus, and something small but surprising happens. A scene deleted from a novel. A daughter’s date with her dad. A book launch to help the homeless. Songlines that turn into dreams. A funeral party. An Indian temple at twilight. And, of course, the end of world (today’s the day). All this and so much more.

Thanks so much for including me, Glynn!
ReplyDeleteI've read several of these, but I can see I need to find some more quiet time this weekend.
Have a good one!
Aw. Thanks. I wish I had written 'Why I Want to Write Useless Poetry.' I believe I do. :)
ReplyDeleteThat was a reprint of Marcus Goodyear's very own. :)
Thank you for including me in a great list of prose, poetry, and more. Enjoy your weekend! It's stopped raining here (finally), so I think we'll take a drive into the countryside.
ReplyDeleteThanks Glynn -- I'm loving the photos appearing at the top of your list every Saturday -- and I'm loving being included on your list -- and thank you for the WHERE note!
