I like how this feels angry and tenderly thought at the same time. I like that hopefulness in the dark

Damian the fire in the eyes of those zealous followers of the pied piper elevated to guru status is painted in your poem with fire and smoke. Truly a smoking great poem that is as strong emotionally as it is rhythmically. You have real talent my friend.

I can identify with this being I’m turning 64 soon. Life is how you look at it. Your strength in this shows your positive view about yourself. That’s called wisdom. Great writing, Willow.

I never thought I’d be one to age gracefully. When I was young I thought for sure I’d fight it tooth and claw. But here I am, looking backwards and smiling forward. I don’t know what the days will bring, but I know what the years have brought. I’ll face them with a cup of something hot and a determination to make the best of them. Thank you, my friend

You know some people never grow up and feel that the other person is always the one that is wrong. This is definitely on point.

I had to chuckle reading the intro. I have a friend who used to say “Stop being younger than me, dammit!”
Reading through the poem I was struck by how powerful it is in its subtlety. You say so much without skirting closer than the edges, stirring thought and almost forcing eye contact with the subject. Apathetic, sadistic narcissist. That’s the person this speaks of…but those terms should be in all caps, I think. Another thought provoking, spot on piece, my friend

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I chuckled when J.J. said it, I expect those kind of comments from him as many summers as we go back. lol.

Those lines mean so much to me my friend, one of the kindest compliments I have ever gotten about my work. Thank you! It probably should be in all caps, but I was trying to use some restraint. lol. Appreciate you.

Sometimes you just can’t understand the motives of people and why they do what they do…why they act the way they do. George Carlin said don’t give a shit about anything. At times, that’s good advice.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I agree with you, a lot of times I don’t understand the motives of some but a lot of times it’s also painfully obvious what those motives are. Carlin was right in many aspects about life, but it’s kinda on a person to person (situation to situation) basis when that advice works best or is a good thing. Something’s do require attention though. One must stay vigilant. Appreciate you.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Brenda. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Empathy is important to morality and also it’s the guiding light of my observations of the world. It can be frustrating witnessing that there are some folks out there who don’t seem to have any empathy in them. So naturally as a writer I write about those kinda things. Appreciate you.

Well happy birthday then, Damian. You don’t look a day older than yesterday!
Your rhymes are on point, sir. The message obviously, too. But, shouldn’t you be writing about something epic from your birthday?! LOL. It’s a milestone every year, is it not?-
Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mark. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Thanks for the b-day wishes brother. Why didn’t I think of writing something epic for my birthday? I guess I’m slowing down a little. LOL. It is a milestone every year indeed. Thank you for your continued support. Appreciate you.

This is deeply inspiring, tempered with sagacious wisdom…making keen observations
without accusations. Using poetry as a crossbow is indeed your expertise, broMuch respect
