1. Hahahahaha. I wish my alarm clock were that effective, and yet I sincerely hope that it never is.

   • LOL, agreed!

2. Concise and effective. Very hard to achieve.

   • Thanks. This one wouldn’t let me write on for some reason. Weird how that happens sometimes.

3. My response to this piece was to exclaim out loud (to an empty room), “Oh, my gosh. Oh wow.”

   I’m not terribly eloquent in person. So I will translate in type: thirty-six words that hit like a sledgehammer. 100% genius. If there ever is an InMon book, this is going in it. Make a note of that!

   • I’m sitting here struggling, really struggling with my synopsis, and I saw this pop into my inbox and had to read it a few times to make sure I hadn’t fallen asleep, make sure I wasn’t dreaming.

     I think I can go to bed happy now instead of frustrated and full of despair. :)
     Thank you!!

4. Wonderful -Perfectly effective FLASH! Wonderful! It has me a bit nervous about going out in nature.

   • I think this is the most figurative thing I’ve written. You must be rubbing off on me!

5. I had a bit of an Alfred Hitchcock The Birds feeling going on while I read this. Fantastic writing!

   • Oh! Yes, now that you mention it… yikes. Puts a whole new spin on it…

6. So few words used, but so much said.
   Wow!

   • Thank you! I didn’t set out to make it so short, it just worked out that way. Writing is weird sometimes. :)

7. If the crow is after an eye, which I always trust crows to be after, then I guess the day it no longer wakes one is when one no longer has eyes?

   And if one has no eyes, how do they know it’s a crow pecking and not a woodpecker? I guess the summary of this comment is not to get wooden eyes if you lose your real ones…

   Enjoyed,
   D

   • Oooh. Imagine that feeling – being pecked by a woodpecker in your wooden eyes.

     Good points. :)

9. Wow, Kay, you did manage to say so much in so few words. Great job!

   • Thanks! It will probably never happen again! :)

10. Concise, evocative, and powerful! Well done!

    • Thank you for reading!

11. short but very sweet, like a haiku you hit the nail on the head…or the eye like a crow…? :)

    • Thanks – this means a lot. This is the most poetic thing I’ve ever attempted so to compare to a haiku is a big deal to me. Thank you!
