Next to last stanza is so-well worded. This quite sensual but not blatant, which makes it poetry that is a pleasure to read.
I also really like the stanza that emmagreen pointed out.
You have a nice variety to your writing.
I clicked that I was mature enough to read this poem. Even though I am 75, I probably scammed on being mature enough.j.

We need to have enough faith in our fellow men and women to stop and listen to them.
They matter, their thoughts matter, their poetry matters.
We need to work together to secure love and respect.

Joy,
Ah, such a nice sip of cold water in a parched world… This is why poetry is so important… the great mystery is tha there are so many who never slow down enough to find out…

Some people seem to treat poetry as if it is Covid and it will kill them if they stop to read it.
WE don’t mean any harm we just tell it like it is.

I used to tell my student that poetry was the easiest of all the arts.
One, it is the job of art to wake souls, sometimes
minds, two, if you can read, that’s all the skill you need, three what it says to you is what it says. There is no “wrong” interpretation. Changes every time somebody reads it. Oh and in today’s world of diminished attention spans,,. they can be quite short…

Slowing down these days can be taken as a sense of failure – how tragic is that!
Time is not for lying on the grass as with your recent poem. It’s more likely,’What, take a day off. Can’t do that, I’d lose money, promotion, the promised new car. Plus do manage to say good night to the kids. Thank you, Vol, your words – like many in the past, are much appreciated.

it is American culture to glorify murderers and the good looking look at Ted Bundy the same response was given to him they are treated as stars so why not murder?

I don’t understand it either. Surely we can be a little more discerning than famous (or infamous) and attractive.

It’s not the cover that shows a good tale: it’s the way it makes the reader feel when he/she both puts down the book and – whether or not the contents are remembered
A best seller is not necessarily everyone’s choice!

‘climbing the notes to where you are
so high in the atmosphere
and yes I know I’m sky scraping
but damn you are fine’
fine writing.. seems you’v found why, where and how: the person has added ‘special’ to everything
