I've been here for many years and enjoy the poetry and writing site thanks to the great team at Fanstory.
I have published three books from blurb.com. |

JanPerry:
The difference in the spelling of "learnt" and "learned". I use the English/British version of learnt. I've had many others say it is spelt learned, but the dictionary says both spellings are correct. I am Australian, we often use the British spelling of words. Please understand this difference.

| K. Lang-Slattery: I totally agree that either spelling should be accepted. Though an North American from the US, I use English spellings when I'm writing a story that takes place in England.

Hi. Firstly and foremost I try to correct spelling, then word usage in all of my reviews. Sorry for any confusion about my methods. Jan.

I'm sick and tired of being reminded of death every single day, on the news and programs on television. Celebrate life and what you have. Stop all this moaning about death.

Dean Kuch: Morning
by Jan Perry
Early morning starts my day
As the call of nature makes it's way into my heart
I look for you but you have left me again
Your shirt tails hang, your coat lies in a heap
Where did you go to this time as I sleep?
I look for your trail, a dish, a sock left there but once again you elude me.
It isn't fair.
As time moves on I realise you are gone for good.
No one can fill the cavern which is my soul.
Emptiness waits.
Each day brings more problems, new challenges
I must commit to.
Your leaving has left an empty shelf of sighs,
where laughter once rang true.
We all face the inevitability of death one day, Jan. And we all should feel free to write about those feelings too...even you.

| JanPerry: Thanks Dean. That's a good reminder and I'll keep it in mind. I have conveyed sadness in "Morning". However, I find death both morbid and terrifying, so I try not to approach the subject.

What if we had "Peace Day" for one day of the year. No arguments, no bullying allowed. No wars allowed ever....
Oh Jan, dream on!
