    Mark D. R.: Brigitte,

    I would have been pleased to review this (or what I refer to as 'short verse.') As mentioned, I rarely rate anything longer than 5-7-5.

    Obviously from your FS accomplishments noted in your portfolio, your poetry level is much higher than mine. Regardless, I get juiced by writing my short ones on wide ranging topics. Methinks that it is my Gemini persona that activates my brain activity. LOL.

Brigitte Elko: Happy Veterans Day to all our heroes. May we never forget to be thankful for their sacrifices.


Brigitte Elko: Dr. Stephenson wrote a book entitled, Conversations. I would like to share my thoughts after reading it.
After I read Conversations, I cried, smiled, and felt a peacefulness that I had not felt in some time. How can you, honored Dr. Stephenson absorb all the pain that you are exposed to routinely? The answer was within your poetic, I will call them reflections, for me the reader. This is indeed a must read! This will be read more than once. I plan to buy several not because the proceeds will go to a wonderful cause, but because the content needs to be shared. Thank you for writing this and publishing it. I commend you for the excellent ability to pen and the exhaustive care you give ( have given) to patients.
Humbly,
Brigitte Elko
    DR DIP: I fully concur Brigitte Thankyou for posting It was such an emotional read. With the full gamut of emotions happening with the read.

Brigitte Elko: Finally, my book is on Amazon! It was a grueling process but all's well that ends...well.

Brigitte Elko: It has been suggested by a review that my latest poem, "What's Death? Tommy wants to Know" should be published in magazine. I wish I knew where to submit because it has relevant content.
    evesayshi: I suggest going online and searching for Children's Magazine Publishers, of which I believe there are a few... -
    MissMerri: I'd suggest buying a copy (or using the one in the library) of the 2018 Writer's Market, and look in the section for Children's Magazines. -

I am a retired teacher but am not tired. I love writing from personal experience and try to add a "twist" at the end of all my work. I owned and operated a fine dining restaraunt on the water for 4 years. This was challenging and rewarding. There are many things I have attempted to do in my life, some of it even successfully. I am now an author. My first children's book is out and book signings are scheduled. This has been my dream, now fulfilled. The book is Apples Holes Ants and Bees and it is for sale on major sites. Take a peak at the cover and see what you think.
During, my younger years, I helped plant and harvest tobacco. My life has been interesting and full off adventures. I am married to a wonderful man who is supportive of all my efforts. We just celebrated our 49th Anniversary on Columbus Day. Being a grandmother keeps me young at heart and mind. I am truly blessed.
I was born August 20, 1946.

5-7-5 An Introspection In Seventeen Syllables Moments I Have Lived
I have found it rather amazing that an existence of time can be expressed in such few words and yet provide a specific and definitive explanation.

Great reviews:
Raw with emotion - love and pain, regrets and hope, truth and tragedy. It touched me at points, made me choke up.
