    • Tread Lightly

      Reading the room reveals a clue It takes concentration to observe  Ghosts of the past in the rearview Another deadman found his nerve   Once inside it’s difficult to leave Too many loose ends unravel lies Can’t get dirty and remain naive Tactical spider still collecting flies   Planting...

      • I think about the consequences of opening my mouth & weigh them against the burden of saying nothing. If it has the potential to hurt someone, I keep it locked in the Nope folder. There’s a lot of insight in this one. That cautionary note…think before you speak…is never out of date, my friend

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I always try to think before I speak. Sometimes that means biting my tongue, I like to choose the hills I’m willing to die on. Always enjoy your commentary. Appreciate you.

      • Learning to “read the room” is such a great line, and your last is filled with wisdom. We live and we learn as we go learning from our past mistakes and learning from others.

        Great poem.

      • I like what I do, but it is quite maddening to spend so much time at work. And really with work it’s all you work and hope to have a good day and maybe it will or maybe it will be shitty. Just feels so repetitive after awhile. Some days I just want to run off screaming.

      The ballroom music softly filled my head.And figures appeared before my hand.Classy gowns,upside down frowns. And fancy clothes all around.A ballroom dance,newfound romance.Is what my heart remembers and found. Once upon a December,I remember it well.I was going there,near my wishing...

      • This is a beautiful poetic eulogy, crimsin

        • hello beautiful Fia thank you graciously he will be missed I only saw him in concert once I was in the second row center and he aimed his foam gun on me and I ducked behind my husband he seemed to get a kick out of it…I thought the prince of darkness should be remembered here,,. thank you for the love on this write 💕

      • Beautifully penned, Brenda. What a nice tribute to, Ozzy, my friend. Really love the use of song titles, this is an amazing write. He was one of a kind, and his music will live forever. Losing the artists that were part of my life’s soundtrack is very sad indeed. Appreciate you.

        Damian

        • hello dearest Damian thank you graciously I’m so happy this resonated with you he truly was and is one of a kind 💕

      • Black Sabbath were pioneers and the reason heavy metal exists. Ozzy has so many good songs in his solo archives. He will be missed by millions. Nice tribute. He did indeed give us his blood and love.

        • hello dearest Tim indeed they were at the time there was no one like them and neither will there ever be again he will be missed thank you for helping me remember him 💕
