Andrea Dietrich October 23, 2013 at 9:09 PM you have such an imagination!! I see this also had won a contest a long time ago. Belated congrats.

Richard Lamoureux November 3, 2012 at 2:22 PM Reminds me of the video games before all the graphics, even the font choice adds to the overall effect. This must have been a lot of work. Voahanitriniaina Rabary-Andriamanday January 13, 2013 at 4:12 AM O, Rick! Btw: I'd like to change the title "Stampedes 'round the screens" into "Stampedes 'round the kids"... How does it sound to your ears and gears? A question to the Question Man! Voahanitriniaina Rabary-Andriamanday January 13, 2013 at 4:07 AM So nice to re-read your kind comments, Rick! I'm on the way to visit you and your poems and your newest poetry forms today! Have a nice day! Blessings, Hanitra!
