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.

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 …

❤️

The last line lands in a way that makes you want to reread this again, and let it linger. This caught my breath.

This reads almost like an invocation, a chant of summoning. Much enjoyed this. As Brandon said, it invites rereading 🧡

Powerfully penned, Brenda. Excellent write with dark undertones my friend. I concur with Willow and Brandon. Amazing read. Appreciate you.

There’s nothing fun about being ghosted. I’ve learned to move on if I sense any games being played. Detachment is a hard lever to pull, but is often necessary.

Been there. Nice to see you back.

hello dearest Poet there are better to come I’m happy to see you ❤️

Passionately penned, Speak. I mean this is vintage you my friend. Nice to hear your wisdom on these things you’ve always got an interesting perspective on these matters. Great to see you back. Big Like.. Appreciate you.

DUP ended and I lost my voice or my passion to write but tiptoeing back in the water again. We’ll see

Appreciate you D

Ugh, being ghosted SUCKS.
You wrote this weeks ago and I’m only just seeing it because I step in here so infrequently… gosh it’s hard to find a substitute for DUP. There really is none.
Glad to see your works again, though.

I really don’t like the format on this site but the DUP crowd is here so I step in occasionally. Yeah, being ghosted blows. We’ve since reconnected slightly but it’s not the same at the moment.
Thx Red
We need to talk more !!!

Dig you

The picture reminds me of Birds in the park.

Gorgeous spring vibes! 😎

This pic is spring in all her glory, yes the birds in the trees, but also all of the other beautiful blooms and emotions of this season. Another tight one dude

Awesome painting, Speak. Thanks for sharing your other creative works. Nicely done. Appreciate you.
