Winterthorne
Winterthorne stood alone at the edge of the park. The beautiful snow that had surrounded him was all trampled now, from the feet of all of the children who had built him. He missed the sparkly clean snow blanket, but he was happy that so many children had come out to make him.

Dear Mr. Mikey - I've tried to be supportive of you and even did a few 'Shout-Outs' on your behalf as being so 'responsive' for all of the Youngins. Yes, we are on different 'pages' - I'm not into promos or challenges, just a simple old fashion StoryTeller, nothing more, so I see why you never jump into the 'Senior' pond. I'll *unsubscribe for now and wish you only the best. Jay Jay Kantor, Chatsworth, California 'Senior' Vocal Author - Vocal Village Community -
Mikeydred!!!!! I canโt believe what you did with this! Incredible, bravo mate
Very good. But did you forget to make "Never Have I Ever" bold, or was it by intent?
Hi Mike. I thoroughly enjoyed. A subject and 5 words to create a Sonnet! Itโs wonderful to see how you collaborate with other authors to brainstorm ideas. And my sincere thanks for linking me to The invisible Writer. I read his fiction โChapter 1โ of โThe Redeemerโ and in doing so you set me on a pathway to an unexpected gift. You may like to read my comment there. Pauline ๐ธ
