    • State of Mind:

      Dear Danny,
      I sit alone behind these grey concrete walls, wondering if the Police really know it all?
      Craving just a little male affection when all I seem to get is your rejection?
      Write me letters, pick up the phone, need your sweetness, so sick of living here on my own.
      I loved you, baby, you loved me, said I loved ya, it…Read More

    • Unraveling

      I watched the thread,
      slip from my fingers,
      cold as steel.

      I couldn’t hold the end,
      or trace the start.

      Like a shadow in alleys,
      following the hunt,
      its shadow in my chest,
      too swift to name.

      I watched the thread
      through the silence.

      You can only sense
      when nothing stirs.

      I felt tremors pulse
      through skin, t…Read More

      • I was just thinking the other day of all the ways of saying and meanings for unravel. This is a potent expression of it 😊

      Neither one of us are religious

      We spoke about religion this morning  Neither of us believe  A lot got said Desire  Love Separation  Between church and state  Redemption perhaps  Then silence

      • Church and state should stay separate…It’s not though. Good piece

      • Happy Easter dearest Poet it was really a pagan fertility rite called Ishtar…Nature is where I go to find God…this is well said ❤️

      • I talk to my dog

        Dog is God
        God is Dog

      • Cleverly penned, Speak. As always you deliver my friend. They should always be separate indeed, unfortunately it seems some claim didn’t get the memo. Excellent write. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

      • Hello Gary. I agree with your poem & statement. To the point and you always nail it! Maybe to a cross!!

      • I’ve always said I’d like believe but I’m to pragmatic or stubborn or I don’t like Kool Aid …

      • Dear PS,

        I can always count on a particular dynamic in your poems that lay bare life at its core. And I always appreciate that because it’s raw and always truthful. Long live pragmatism. H🌷

      • Dear H,

        My father was pragmatic and I guess I inherited that trait from him.
        Religion is a something you grow up with or not. I had a religion but I’ve chosen to segregate the good from the allegory. The good part is spiritual and the rest for me is a pragmatic look at the people around me and what we share.

        It’s so good to see you H.
        I don’t come here often but every so often I need a place to put stuff.

        You found me, I’m saved !!!

        💕

      • Totally agree with your stance on religion. But it’s the relationship I see in your poem that makes me dig it. You have a way of saying a lot in a very sideways way. When you can talk religion with someone and then sit in a comfortable silence… that’s gold.
        So great to read your writing.
        ❤️k

      • I’m really glad to see your comment on this entry. Writing it reminded me of our DUP years. When our community would come together and you could write something like this without reprisals…

        Appreciate you Red

        You make me want to write more …

        ❤️

    • 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
