| Posted by V. Blake on 10/15/10 at 05:30 PM About time you returned to us, Glenn. Way to remind everyone of why you were missed! (Even though you made me look up a word in "clematis.") |

| Posted by Therese Elaine on 10/15/10 at 06:16 PM We find ghosts in dappled leaves and unfurled blossoms, the clean scent mingling with the remembered taste of goodbye and sound of absence, a bittersweet recollection amidst the beauty of of that voice on the other end of the line...lovely piece, Glenn. |
| Posted by George Hoerner on 10/15/10 at 07:24 PM Very nicely done Glenn. I have no doubt that she approves. |
| Posted by Gabriel Ricard on 10/15/10 at 08:31 PM Beautiful, beautiful and a little bit of awesome-as-hell for the hell of it. Well done indeed. |

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 10/21/10 at 01:13 AM Sad...haunting...beautiful, but not overbearing. I like this very much Glenn; well deserved to be #1. You have proven yourself once again a serious and talented poet. |
| Posted by Ken Harnisch on 10/22/10 at 12:57 PM yes, welcome back, Glenn..and how beautiful a gift you brought us all upon your return! |
| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 10/22/10 at 04:21 PM You visit that place we all have to deal with, missing loved ones and friends. I like the everyday habits that introduce this and then the realization. My fav is the clematis stanza - quite magical. Thank you for this. Jan would have loved it also. |
