Reach for the Moon (Book) - 2/13/2009 3:55:32 PM
After having had the privilege of reading your work for a number of years, I knew this collection could be nothing less than spectacular. Your poems are filled with your own journeys and that of your vivid imagination. Your words are both simple and complex as we need them to be. They allow us our own interpretations and to be touched. What greater gift can a writer give her readers!

Reach for the Moon (Book) - 8/15/2008 12:38:24 PM
A single poem or story by Marcia Miller-Twiford can take a reader into depths of literary grace, beauty, and wisdom that few ever expect to encounter simply by giving their attention to words. With that in mind, it takes little to imagine how thrilling one may find it to sit down with this aptly titled volume, REACH FOR THE MOON, and blissfully enjoy one page after another, not only achieving that poetic flight to the moon, but traveling far beyond into glittering galaxies of the author's brilliant mind, heart, and soul.

A Family Dinner (Short Story) - 11/20/2009 3:00:35 AM
Short stories with an emotional twist to tell us that humanity hasn't lost it all, that, among all the commercialism tender qualities still live inside the hearts of many...even on Christmas.

A Family Dinner (Short Story) - 11/19/2009 11:18:06 AM
Heart tugging story; you never know when tragedy will strike. Even on holidays tragedy or discord will hit with little warning! Very well penned, Marcia; brava!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(
On Being Homeless (Short Story) - 11/1/2009 3:45:21 PM
Well done Marcia!!! I was choking back tears at the thought of a mother and her little children homeless...on the street. The clever turn of your pen at the end lifted my spirits back up....I LOVED your story.
Hugs,
Anna

hah! -- ah, hah! -- wretched little PC! -- a kilowatt of fun concealed in a slender unassuming frame? -- hard drive and all -- this is too funny Marcia Miller -- it reminds me of some of the travails of one of our dear friends with a fickle computer, he had not taken for granted though -- and still she forsook him -- peace and love my dear friend -- Jon Michael

The Fury (Short Story) - 9/10/2009 12:55:35 AM
Oh...! but I have a perfect symbiosis with mine, I hate her and she hates me. Sometimes she freezes me out and then, just out of pure and unadulterated rage I pull her plug with an insane pleasure to teach the bitch a lesson!!!!!!!! hahahahahahahaha!!!

All The Generations That Were (Short Story) - 2/24/2009 9:39:26 AM
I think you penned this especially for those who, like me, feel the voices and moods of cherished icons from our histories. There is a depth of spirit in that. Nice piece Sweetie :-)
Ted
All The Generations That Were (Short Story) - 2/24/2009 8:21:11 AM
My generation wasn't accustomed to todays use and throw away, things passed down from great-great-grandmothers yo great-great-grandchildren were as holy as a promise given with an handshake.
Perhaps all those getting brown things were trash for some, but those things were carrying a history which didn't deserved a dustbin.
Georg
A Day's Work (Short Story) - 2/13/2009 7:15:31 PM
First of all, this is likely the best written story I have read in a very long time, with all the right plot elements, and told in a believable manner. Great work, Marcia!
As for George, "But George was the type of man who declared that no wife of his would ever work. He'd work till he dropped before he'd let that happen." -- tells the tale. In spite of his macho pride, his morality was too high to have ever kept that found money. He was a man who believed that Right is Right, (and that was that).
Me? Well, being the nororius rascal that I am, if I had been George, I would have ...
... taken the money back, too (but, shhhhhh, don't tell anyone).
Superb story, Marcia :-)
Ted
A Day's Work (Short Story) - 2/13/2009 6:35:48 PM
A story which causes the reader to contemlate many aspects as the story unfolds. The character's dilemaand cases one to hold a mirror to his own soul. There is no more pwerful writing than that.

Perfect, Marcia. This is one important thing that we CAN do to protect each other.

well done
Mass Mailings Courtesy (Article) - 3/30/2009 12:58:39 PM
Dear Marcia, we should have been advised of this trick before, because we had been forwarding each other with tons of e-mail addressed, no wonder we get those spams by the zillions.
Thank you very much
Georg
Footprints...A New Version (Article) - 3/18/2009 2:51:33 AM
Oh my! it wasn't me, I can't dance, Oh well! maybe I was the musician giving the tones...
Great writes from Lew and from you, that punch line kind of floored the reader, (say what???! ! ! )
Georg
Footprints...A New Version (Article) - 3/17/2009 5:32:58 PM
Ah, Sweetie, you made me laugh with this one. Very nicely told and with a brilliant punch line (Lew Duffey's wit is shining through) :-)
Ted
Caution - FaceBook and My Space (Article) - 3/8/2009 3:00:02 AM
I shy from anything that's sooooooooo popular, I like cozy little places where everybody knows everybody. It will cost exposure but at least one have peace of mind.

PS. maybe I am too old!
Marge Tindal (Article) - 1/31/2009 4:13:05 PM
My prayers and blessings on Marge's family.
Marge Tindal (Article) - 1/30/2009 11:37:01 PM
Going and scanning Marge's memorial Guestbook really shows how well known and well respected she was. Her passing was/is a genuine loss to us and to the literary community. I think we need a new rule on AD and on TWF -- Henceforth, members are not allowed to pass away.
Ted

Very sorry for this. She's with God now . . . blessings!!

Your dreams of the "beyond here and now" are intriguing. Oh what joy to think we might all dance with the butterflies and run through fields of wildflowers. Nice pen.

They also say, "Let light perpetual shine upon them."
Like you go to some great tanning salon in the sky.
I like a night once in a while, see some stars, build a fire.
Candles are fine.
They will bury me with a visor.
Never one for the spot light,
John

Anna
Being Thankful (Poetry) - 11/18/2009 4:26:16 AM
"...thankful to the stranger that smiled at me..." to be thankful is to have the heart in the right place, to appreciate all the little mercies that are bestowed upon us. To be thankful is to say that we appreciate God's blessings.
Georg
Being Thankful (Poetry) - 11/18/2009 1:25:13 AM
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful and inspiring poem. Oftentimes when we give thanks we forget some of those you remember in your poem. BTW, feast is spelled incorrectly in the last line of the first stanza.
Being Thankful (Poetry) - 11/17/2009 9:47:48 PM
marcia, your words were beautifully said. there is so much to be thankful for by all of us. we sometimes forget to think about them or take them for granted. i am thankful for my sons and my love and my friends, even my furry one. have a delightful thanksgiving dear lady

Your lovely "Winter Wonder" poem gives appeal to coming winter. Sounds wonderful, especially since I woke up to low temperatures here this morning in North Florida.
