AUDIENCE WITH MY QUEEN AT RECESS

A very moving write, Gahdess.  You really have a way with quotations and dialogue.  Shows flair and imagination.

Thank you so much, Sir Crow! I find it fascinating that events of my childhood remain so unresolved. As I grow older and, perhaps, wiser I understand better the impact wrought by my tragedies. Thank you so much for your kind, supportive comment.

No better way to spend a break at school than this.

Much enjoyed read, my friend

Thank you so much,  Teri! In my opinion kids today don't get enough recess time.  My kids only had 15 minutes per day while in elementary school.  Msybe I'm remembering incorrect but when I was that age,  in the 70's, I think we more than one recess and for a greater amount of time.

start off on a positive note
but boils down to a heart breaking end

good write

Thank you Poet! Death is still quite a mystery to me having encountered it so early in life,  at 6 years old.  I didn't begin the mourning process for my mother,  at least consciously, until I was 19. I appreciate your kind words.

Thank you so much, Brandy❣ I am glad you were touched by the poem. I empathize with your sweet comments about your parents. I am.certain that your love helps to aleviate their suffering.

This made me tear up.  So heart warming. The dialogue flowed so naturally, nothing forced.

Thank you so much MM! I grew up in a here-today-gone-tomorrow, take-it-in-your-stride society.  Death was not explained to children with much sensitivity.  I am so glad that,  at least,  in some societies grief counseling is now made available to children.

This is just heartbreaking and haunting. So adorable but it pulls my little heart strings....

Your  big heartstrings you mean😘 Thsnk you so much, Julia❣❣ iam I'm glad you felt this one.

Thanks for submitting your work to my competition, Gahddess, and my condolences for your loss. The conversational  approach you used to write this worked well and portrays that though she's gone from this world, your mother's always with you in spirit. Nicely written.
