In response to "Midnight. A story for little ones."

It would definitely make a great children's story.

In response to "Revenge"

Revenge is sweetest when it's on the page and not reality.

In response to "Cliche "

Really loved the grittiness of the first poem, taking something that normally brings a sense of wonder, awe and joy into something grim and cynical (and I’m not even really the biggest fan of that style of storytelling). So great job there.

The clock one was eerie as heck, but I loved it. I kind of interpreted it as if the clock turned sentient. Amazing work all around. Faved to reference as inspiration later

Very nicely done, Sumojo

. Time is definitely going to betray us when we turn the clocks back on Sunday, and we lose an hour's sleep. I don't know if you have that in Australia. I really wish they would discontinue it here.

Love it, especially the last line, which says it all.

In response to "November "

When I was a child, we lived rural and no one actually prepared or celebrated Halloween except the classroom in the school. Or, if you lived in a town.

When my children were in school it was a time when suddenly Halloween was a time to beware of what children might find in their Treat bags, if they went trick or treating. As the children grew, we were more likely to buy them a bag of candy then take them into a nearby town to trick or treat.

Halloween for some people is just for fun. For me I basically just ignore it.

How wonderful that we are all of an age and still find joy in life and in writing.
Keep on keeping on, girls.

Glenny

thank you for your response to my blog. Yes we all miss our mum don’t we. I’d love to mine too about all the amazing changes since she left us.

I am going to be 80 next March and I can hardly believe it, fortunately I have very good health and I don't take that lightly. Your comments are inspiring, thank you.

In response to "Phone call to Heaven"

If I could use my mobile phone I would phone my Mum, she would be amazed to hear about the future she missed, mobile phones and the Internet. Secondly I would phone my Sister in law and tell her about her children and how they have grown up and are happy. Also I'd love to hear my dog Nacho bark or give me a cuddle just one more time.

It's complex this death and dying business. I'm not so much concerned about being dead I think it's the process that's a little worrisome.
My Grandad died in his sleep and that's the way I would like to go.

Thanks for your blog.

Prompt:On this day in 1934, Leonard Cohen was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He was a poet and a baritone singer with a deadpan delivery.

“Hey, That’s No Way to Say Goodbye." is one of his songs. Let this title inspire your entry today.

There have been so many goodbyes during my life. It’s a sad word really and my daughter always says “see you later,” instead of goodbye when she’s leaving. She says “it’s not goodbye, Mum.”

My saddest goodbyes were when my parents died. They died of cancer two years apart. Both were aged seventy. Too young to say goodbye.

But when my daughter gave birth to a stillborn baby at 38 week of pregnancy that was the saddest goodbye of my life. Sad for myself but sadder still to watch a loved one suffer such a painful loss. It meant saying goodbye to so many things, to all of those firsts; first smile, first day at school and all those other times which we would never experience.

There have been happy goodbyes too such as when going on an exciting adventure, or farewelling someone else as they are setting out on a vacation, wishing them bon voyage and knowing it’s just a temporary absence.

People pass through one’s life, others stay forever but eventually we all have to say that final goodbye.
