Your visits to my page add a special touch. Sara K William Kelii Kekaula December 10, 2023 at 9:08 AM Of Pegasus, mayhaps 'tis a series be, if I've a mind to remember. If not, he'll hook up--not Capt'n Hook, but Peter Pan whose line I stole to tether my piece. BTW, yes for I will be posting one soon, and with that, my friend--eternal thanks. Aloha, William

Silent One December 10, 2023 at 7:26 AM Very creative Hilo.. fantasy always helps with our words as we can be as creative as we want.. that is the beauty of poetic license... William Kelii Kekaula December 10, 2023 at 7:42 AM Exactly, Silent One. Spread those wings and tether upon the oddities in the creative world, my friend, thanks. Aloha, William

Ink Empress December 9, 2023 at 10:32 PM I always love a bit of mythology in poetry. And i love how you’ve written about pegasus. Poseidon's winged horse and ao many others Gods of Greek, had pegasus in their tales. The flow of this is beautiful and i also especially loved the line “ land in a grassy dale“ “ But, La La, Dream, it's out in space.It's okay, I got wings” Creative one dear Hilo. Pleasure always reading your work. William Kelii Kekaula December 10, 2023 at 7:16 AM I appreciate it, Ink Empress. Touch of fantasy made alive drawing out characters anew along the old storyline of Neverland. Also appreciate your highlighted notations. Aloha, William
