Hi Melissa,
This is a good free verse poem that tells the you have a very talented family. I have read 'The Chronicles of Narnia' and some of his on fiction books. Now I have to read his poems. I don't know if I could be on a podcast. I don't do well with public speaking.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a wonderful weekend
Joan

I was one of those kids in the sixties who read The Chronicles of Narnia with a passion. One of the truly outstanding pieces of children's literature, and a rare episode of Christian literature that gained a wide following in the world. CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien had imaginations light years above the maddening crowd, and literary talent to match. Your podcast project sounds very interesting, maybe I will check it out. estory

I'm so happy for you to appear in a podcast. It's definitely a digital world out there. I think I will like none cursive better. It's harder to read a poem in cursive for me.

Well done.

My poem has appeared five times in the Rule Breaker podcast by the founder of Motley Fool.

What an honor, to be asked to be a part of your son's podcast! I'm sure it was fun to discuss Lewis's poetry. Your son takes after his mom when it comes to being a gifted writer! I'll try to look up the podcast. I love Lewis's Narnia series, and I have written study guides on 5 of the 7 books, for Progeny Press. Thanks for sharing. Carol

    Thank you Dolly. I was teased by some friends yesterday morning about the heavy southern (Arkansas) accent I have. It is different than Virginia's drawl... I really thank you for listening to the Podcast. I know as a Brit you would have so much more to add than I did :)

I am a fan of C.S. Lewis, especially the Chronicles of Narnia. The podcast b must be interesting and C.S. Lewis is still a popular author today. Excellent poem to introduce the podcast and how wonderful that your son is a writer.

As a mum you must be very proud, I have read some of CS Lewis, he even wrote a sci-fi trilogy, but only one of those books I can remember "Journey to Venus" and of course, tales of Narnia, JRR Tolkien was a good friend of his, they studied together at Cambridge uni in England, I likewise read a number of books beside Lord of the Rings, by Tolkien also, I wonder if we'll see their likes again. Thanks Melissa,, blessings Roy

I don't understand a lot about poetry. I suppose that's why I don't write it. But what intrigue me is the opportunities you have to share your son's love and be on his podcast. My son writes screenplays and produces movies while I write stories. We share our ideas and I have enjoyed helping him with his films. It's a very special time.
Smiles, Carol
