GeorgeGlass Posted December 19, 2025 Author Report Posted December 19, 2025 @FairySlayer Quote 3. What Am I to You? That's very sweet, and I'm sure Frosty would be touched. It really covers all the bases of people's reactions. I couldn't help but think of all the times as a kid I'd sneak out at night just to look at the snow-covered yards and fields under the moonlight. And I HATE being out in the cold. What a lovely comment. I grew up in the Northeast, and I still miss the snow. Nothing else can transform the world around you the way snow does. FairySlayer 1 Quote

Yup, based on my own fond memories. Quote First of all I thought it was meant as a snowperson, but it’s the snow itself! Time to put the magic frosty hat on that full snowy field of white and see if it becomes even more a bother. And suddenly Christmas becomes Halloween. Quote It’s like the magic of a snowy day for a kid, and it’s great that it’s clearly a kid the weather’s talking too, it feels like if it was to an adult or a couple the tone’d be different, but there’s that real sense of play, I remember that, decades ago! Now… now it’s just a nuisance. Right. I was trying to capture how our perception of snow changes over our lifetime. Thanks for the review! Edited January 12 by GeorgeGlass JayDee 1 Quote
GeorgeGlass Posted January 12 Author Report Posted January 12 @InBrightestDay re: “What Am I to You?” Quote Aww! I love that while I was writing smut and Invidia was writing apocalyptic drama, somebody was holding down the traditional holiday spirit. It’s nice to cover all the bases. Don’t worry, I’m sure I’ll be back to smut next year. Quote This is a wonderful little piece of poetry about everyone's experience with winter days. Thank you! Quote Well, almost everyone. As a Florida Man, I do not experience this, but it seems accurate! Wait, you’re Florida Man? I see you in the news all the time. Quote I like the sequential nature of it, moving from the initial reaction to seeing the first flakes falling, to kids playing and having snowball fights, to the adult grumbling about shoveling the driveway, and finally to maximum coziness relaxing inside while snow falls outside (hot chocolate mandatory). This is all pretty autobiographical. I remember snow in all of these ways. Thanks for the review! JayDee and InBrightestDay 2 Quote

I see you in the news all the time. *Joker voice* I’m an agent of chaos… Actually I swear, most days in Florida are surprisingly normal. It’s just every once in a while... GeorgeGlass 1 Quote
GeorgeGlass Posted 15 hours ago Author Report Posted 15 hours ago (edited) @JayDee Re: “You Were Warned” You Were Warned by George Glass Quote Oh, man, now this here is a love letter to horror movies. I definitely managed to name a few of those referenced, although I guess some of them could be multiple horrors. I was really aiming to reference horror movie tropes rather than specific movies. Quote (Who hasn’t built on an burial ground at this point? I used to live atop a plague pit. That wasn’t in the estate agent’s guide) Fun fact: This is why there’s such a thing as freelance archaeologists. Quote I really loved the Stanza How did you conclude that it would be wise To look for the source of that bestial roar? Did you not see the warnings? Have you no eyes? I suppose if you did, you don’t anymore. Like, holy shit, man, that’s so damn good! The weary sort of, well, you got your eyes taken, idiot, of it all. I think I had just recently seen a bit of the movie Nightbreed and was thinking of that one guy with tentacles that can pull out someone’s eyes. Quote And it’s such a thing how people in horror movies have so rarely seen horror movies - or used to have, anyway, they’ve been getting more meta since, what Scream? Probably older. The original Scream is my all-time favorite horror movie—partly for that reason. Quote Properly good poem, though, reads great out loud! Thank you! And thanks so much for the review.

In my defence poetry critical thinking is waaaaaaay down my ability scale. Also normal critical thinking. Some might even say just thinking. Quote Fun fact: This is why there’s such a thing as freelance archaeologists. Makes sense. You just don’t tend to think hiring one would be a good idea until you’re turning the Earth for potatoes and whoops there’s a plague ridden femur. Quote The original Scream is my all-time favorite horror movie—partly for that reason. I liked it, but I also have a soft spot for the original Scary Movie too Quote Thank you! And thanks so much for the review. No worries! Quote
