    April Poetry #5

    April 5 is just another day
    in a year already a fourth
    of its life gone. But this day
    has no song, unless you want
    to count the rhythm and noise
    of imperial bombs sent by
    the “shining light on top of
    the hill”, who has always promised
    the grave and the slave. April 5,
    just another day where they
    say all this hor…Read More

      I was thinking this morning about that phrase march to the beat of your own drum. But the noise of the world is so loud these days it’s difficult to hear it. Those last lines…damn!

      Let me introduce myself. I’m Lizz.   Not a brand. Not a filtered highlight. Not a polished biography written for someone else’s approval.   Just Beth.   Friendly in a world that rewards cold. Easy-going in rooms thick with ego. Kind when it would be easier to harden. Patient when storms test...

      Well, you have laid it all out and if anyone had any questions, they need to read this again. Nicely put.

      Unapologetically penned, Lizz. This is a powerful and honest write my friend. We all have ups and downs in our journey as writers, taking accountability and living to tell the story is what keeps us putting pen to paper. That’s just my opinion though. Excellent work here. Appreciate you.

      Very cool. It places you in front of a crowd, that you are not fearful of. I enjoy self-empowering writes. it isn’t egotistical, it’s affirmation of your worth. Well done.

      It’s plain to see you’re a serious and articulate writer. You’re able to express yourself astutely and with no reserves. I envy your unapologetic courage. Great write here.

      Thanks. I’ve been writing as a young teen, and as a teen I had no one to talk to, to express myself so I turned to poetry it was the only way for me to get things out. Though through time I’ve become better at my poetry. And I keep it as real as possible.

    Sorry??

    What does the word even mean
    An apology that is supposed to be given when felt
    The word does not erase the feelings
    That absolute absurdity of it

    As a child you were made to say your sorry
    Looking in that same child’s eyes
    There is not an ounce of remorse
    Confusion
    Anger

    Adolescents are no better
    Sorry rolls off the…Read More

      A ‘sorry’ like this is nothing more than the ego trip to make whoever said it feel good about themselves and nothing to do with changing what they have done. To be truly sorry, takes action, means changing attitude, behavior, and not doing whatever they have done again. A good poem for day #5 of poetry month, Fia. -Curt
