    Ah, I think we all do hope that we spark joy in others! This brings us joy in return. Smiles.

    It is my definite opinion that YES, you DO spark joy. I wonder about all the treasures that are embedded in nests, fun to imagine.

    It's as coin toss, either way, LOL. I really like this piece! Especially the coin in an unexpected nest. A magpie might enjoy coming home to that!

    I think there is a spark of joy there... and maybe they are sometimes kept a while as treasures in the nest.

    I love this simple, yet important question. Elegantly written.

    Why must it be one or the other? Sometimes we spark joy, sometimes we start fires....

    Maybe you can be both..a coin in a birds nest would be a wonderful treasure ..and we all have needs...

    I wonder whom this voice is asking? I hope it's a rhetorical question--I'll read it that way to empower it.

    Some questions cannot be answered by oneself, but must be put to others. This little piece sparked a quick flash of joy.

waiting for the boss

this is the story of a girl who lived in the basement of the girl next door sheltered in the confines of a  suburban tract house dungeon; her punishment for runnin' wild with dreams half unlatched she ran like a spirit in the night from those badlands wind blowin' through her hair shielding her eyes from the blinding light she hugged onto a shoreline of hope someday soon, she's not sure when her savior will rise up from the streets with an armload of rain soaked roses and second chances Rene ~ 2010 Click  Here   to join Magpie Tales creative writing group .
