Author's Note

Some of you have noticed that I have not been on here very much these days. Circumstance has led me to spread my wings so to speak. As a consequence I have not been able to give to you, my WC friends, the attention that you all so richly deserve. I know with some this has resulted in hurt feelings, and so I have made the decision to let this be my last post on WC for a while. I will not close down my account and I will remain reachable through email. For those of you who wish to continue to see my smiling mug on a regular basis, I welcome your friendship on Facebook and Google Plus. You may also want to keep you eyes peeled for posts on my youtube page. I have gained so much through regular interaction on Writerscafe. It has TRULY been one of the most enriching experiences of my life. I owe you all so much. A very big thank-you from the depth of heart … all you beautiful people.

I know this is an old post. I've not been here much this past year myself for so many boring reasons. I'm glad you've been able to branch out in different ways from the WC. This poem was especially rich to listen to.

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, Tammy. It still stands out as one of my favourites:)

[Rachelle]

Good for you, Pryde! Let your light shine!

[Pryde Foltz]

Ty, Rachelle.

I'm convinced that you will make it big as a storyteller honestly, haha.
Great story and impressive wording!

[Pryde Foltz]

Hi Miss Pryde Foltz

Fabulous, emotive, original poetry with that special sense of delight and style. This is truly my favorite kind of poetic writing. It tickles, it elates, it imagines itself into reality.

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you for this lovely review, SquinklaPsyOps.

[SquinklaPsyOps]

I saw some of your videos at YouTube and was able to know a little bit more about yourself and then after I wrote a poem about myself

This is such a lovely and meaningful write. I see, I have been away for far too long. So many of you I enjoyed interacting with have gone or lessened their presence here. I wish you well and hope you return soon.

[Pryde Foltz]

Ty, PH. Feel free to look me up on Facebook:)

[Travis Gibson (poetic heroics)]

I certainly will.

[Troy Henson]

Loved this Pryde. So beautiful.

Be well my dear friend and I cant wait to hear more from you again soon.

Take care

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, Troy.

[Terpsichore]

So very well written. I found it as much a parable as a poem. I enjoyed listening very much.

Oh, and bon voyage wherever you journey. T

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you very much, Terpsichore.

[Odin Roark]

To find a unique voice worthy of reader/listener's time is not an easy task. To approach nature, given its often nonsensical and mundane body of wordsmithing failures, is to truly take the bull, or in this case, the tree limb by its horns/defensive wares, and truly portray the essence of its natural desire to be at one with the other expressions of nature, as you've so eloquently done here. Kudos.

[Pryde Foltz]

Ty, Odin, it helps to have a story:)

[Latifa]

I loved it, the use of words is very intriguing, bravo

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, Latifa.
