    • Sometimes you see you did mistake the last moment and its too late to make vows you will be to stand on word. We never realise until the last moment. But in that case i am fortunate because I never got lose of people I got second chance to be with them more than I can destined. So also i never lose people when they miss me I do care more than me.

    • Totally wrecked. Thanks my friend.

    • Curve balls, sliders, fast balls. There all coming everyone’s way…Look out! Thanks Damian.

  • Watch Your Mouth

    we weren’t allowed to curse
    so she never did it herself
    always setting the good example
    whenever we repeated words heard…
    that we were forbidden to utter…
    she’d softly remonstrate…
    “now now now…watch your mouth”
    but I learned very early
    she had an exception
    if pushed to full annoyance
    (a rare event – she…Read More

    • In our house it was the threat of having our mouths washed with soap if we cursed. And it only took one mouth washing to guarantee obedience to this rule. Very cool poem for day 7 of poetry month Willow -Curt

      • I never had my mouth washed with soap but my sister did once. I was always too afraid of getting in trouble to put a toe across any lines. Thank you, Curt

    • My cousin told me to say a word in front of my mother, and I didn’t know what it meant and I got slapped. Never said that again. haha at least not to her.

      • My mother swore all the time – redheaded temper. But she yelled at us if we did. Grandma taught by quiet example. I’m a veritable sailor mouth now, but then? Nope! 😂

  • Protest
    Protest! They say they care.
    Protest! They wouldn’t dare.
    Protest! They cut your hair.
    Protest! They strip you bare.
    Protest! They foul your air.
    Protest! Your bruises hurt.
    Protest! Your face is dirt.
    Protest! Your eyes are tired.
    Protest! Your jaw is wired.
    Protest! Your eyes are black.
    Protest! No going back!
    Protest! Y…Read More

    • Protest sometimes isn’t enough, especially not when faced with such horrors. -Curt

      • Sadly, I agree – I live in England, we’re all affected by Trump, Iran, Israel, all the cruel rhetoric on all sides, but I so hope America overthrows your President soon. Only thru a public uprising, it seems, can normality be restored in The States. HJx

    • Girl this is something. Protest to be heard but who is even listening? they keep doing the damage. This is good

      • It’s borne out of my frustration at The World, Fia. The Devil, threatening to wipe out a civilization using foul-mouthed rhetoric only makes life worse for all of us, bluffing or not. The Devils on the other side are just as bad, if not worse -putting to death 30,000 innocent protestors. Pray we all move to Peace, soon, girl. Take Good Care of…Read More
