"feathering through darkness" i like that; soft subtle alliteration, not ott...thx for commenting on my work :)

May 30, 2025 at 6:51 PM

Thank you Charlotte, for mentioning this thought and for saying the alliteration is precise. :) Your thoughts bring a smile. You're very welcome for the comment. You're such a talented writer. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Moving nearly every year of my life until I finished high school set my life on a friendship yearn and burn path. This held a lot of feel that touched all my scars on that path, it holds the feel I've always wish had been sustained with one the friends I had and still love. Wasn't meant to be. I am alliteration-emotional. CayCay

May 27, 2025 at 6:51 PM

So hard for me to understand this feeling my dear friend, because I didn't move around like you did, with that being said; I'm sending soft hugs your way. Even though it wasn't meant to be, it sounds like you still hold someone special so close to your heart. I didn't mean for these words to make me feel emotional. Sending more hugs. ~ Brandy

To have a sensitive and understanding companion is a blessing. When life becomes dark, a true friend can bring light into it. Lovely thoughts, dear Brandy. Your scribbles are dotted with meaning and depth and the way you align the lines are artistically creative.

May 26, 2025 at 5:25 PM

Dear Valsa, so kind of you to say my poetry holds depth and meaning, and the lines are placed in a creative fashion. :) When moments of darkness surround us, we need a true light to guide our path. I appreciate you and your friendship. Thank you for your lovely comment. Many wonderful blessings to you, my sweet friend. :) Hugs, Brandy

In a real friendship distance is not an obstacle/drawback, but a confirmation of what makes that friendship strong, despite any challenges that might occur. A secret in any relationship is being able to replace moments of doubt or sadness with smiles. Your choice of words projects all this and more, Brandy. Warm regards & Hugs // paul

May 20, 2025 at 6:35 PM

Paul, you're exactly right. Distance or different obstacles will never break a friendship, or a relationship that's strong. One that's connected with truth and respect. I appreciate you saying this, because I find it holds so much truth. A positive outlook along with a soft smile is very uplifting, especially when moments hold doubt and a touch of sadness. Your thoughts touch my heart. Many wonderful blessings to you, my sweet friend. Hugs, Brandy

So lovely. Especially the line with the title in it

May 17, 2025 at 4:54 PM

Thank you, Andrea. I enjoy placing the title within my words. I appreciate you and your kind thoughts. Many wonderful blessings to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

May 15, 2025 at 7:26 PM

Lovely and touching sentiment, like breathing in pure, fresh air. I have to ask, how did you get the font used at the very top? I think this is sweet-complete. CayCay

May 16, 2025 at 4:39 PM

Your kind words bring a smile to my heart. :) Such a wonderful thing to say, Cay. I place the fancy font in a word program and then post it here. I appreciate the compliment. My best to you, my dear friend. :) Hugs, Brandy

May 15, 2025 at 12:14 PM

your little scribbles are full of love and wisdom.. making the sun rise within and forming a smile on my face

May 15, 2025 at 6:16 PM

That makes two of us, because a smile is upon my face as well. :) So wonderful seeing your thoughts again, Lyric Man. Welcome back. I appreciate you and your kind words. :) Hugs, Brandy

Dearest Brandy, What a warm hug on days when doubt and distance cloud the heart. Yes, even through darkness, our friendship shines brighter together-lifting, supporting, and healing. Your simple, honest truth is a beacon, showing how kindness and connection make us stronger, no matter the miles between us. Oh, such a steady light in my life. Spring Blessings, My Dear Brandy, Daniel

Daniel, it's so sweet of you to say these words are a warm hug. :) My heart is smiling. Friendship does grow stronger, when honest and kind. It's so easy to be uplifting, as well as a shining light. Awe, thank you my sweet friend. I appreciate you saying this about me poetry. I'm blushing now, with you saying this about me. Many wonderful blessings to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

You read this poem really well... you are right people are better together when they need support and a helping hand.. You always do alliteration so well... Friendship grows stronger, when helpful and honest... so, so, true..

May 7, 2025 at 6:13 PM

Thank you, Silent One. At first I was a little shy about sharing my voice here with everyone. You all know my heart is in every word, so I thought you could hear me reading them and embrace that moment. Yes, being there for each other is a wonderful feeling, especially when ' honest and helpful. ' I appreciate the compliment, my dear friend. I'm enjoying this journey with alliterations. Your kindness doesn't go unnoticed. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

May 1, 2025 at 9:20 PM

It's like opening a page in a favorite book of poems, simply beautiful Brandy. Thats what friends are for. It's also nice to hear on audio! :)

May 3, 2025 at 5:11 PM

Worthy the lengthy wait. Indeed, a delightful piece and stellar reading (audio). Just plain lovely all 'round, BL.

April 27, 2025 at 6:04 PM

It seems the music before reading did balance out. :) That's good to know. I'm smiling at you and blushing too. I wouldn't say the ' reading ' is stellar. I do appreciate you saying the poem is delightful. Thanks, Arlo. :) Hugs, Brandy

April 25, 2025 at 10:40 PM

Lovely- wow, Brandy, you should put some of this stuff on Hallmark cards <3
