Thanks for including me in the loop too Fia .. and for the amount of work that you do on our behalf behind the screens .. Neville 😎🌻

You are doing a great job Fia. We know that you have other things to tend to as well, so taking the time to run things here is appreciated.

Corruption and ignorance go hand in hand. Yes, I whole heartedly agree with you. We must see the truth and act on it. Powerful write.

As if you read my mind and what I was thinking as as articulate. 🙂
I almost got ht by one of those flagy pickups yesterday. 💚

hello beautiful Willow powerful write the darkness threatens to swallow me whole I feel you ❤️

Powerfully penned, Willow. Into the book it belongs! This is’t a write it’s a statement my friend. Excellent work. Appreciate you.

WHOA!!! Some truth telling going on here. It didn’t fall on deaf ears, cause I be listening. America has always been 2 countries within one country. Today’s fascists were yesterday’s slave owners and slave bounty hunters. Thank goodness there are still wide awake decent people who in their millions took to the streets a few days ago. And even better, there is, beginning Nov 5, the determined, nonviolent, movement to oust these MAGA maggots’ regime.

Yes, it is often true in history that people were warned but didn’t listen, sometimes people just need to have a fire lit under their arses, before they can see straight. I think we poets have a role to play in this eye opening!! Your poem Willow is a welcomed salvo (or perhaps to be consistent with the metaphor), a welcomed match for that fire.

Thanks for the much need poem Willow.

damn good write.

Raw and unflinching. You’ve caught the weight of complicity and the ache of resistance in a way that feels both urgent and true. An incredible read!

Okay, now I know. You not only know how to write beautiful, powerful words , you also know how to deliver them. I certainly want to speak to you, Willow. Please visit with me.

Who made you promise not to cuss? In the immortal words of my old coworker…”fuck that!” I hear what you’re saying. And not saying. Thank you, girl

whooee, thanks 🙂

Superb work.

This is cool. I can even pour you a drink. Nice

Ted Bundy would smile reading this. 🙂

Powerfully penned, Nick. I concur with Tim, it does give me Bundy vibes. Incredible write my friend. Appreciate you.

Thanks friend. Glad you liked my spooky ink 🔏

Hopefully not too scary. Would hate if you lose sleep hehe.

Thanks for the read friend. I very much appreciate it.

This is a good Halloween poem. Life is cruel and die alone is the worst.

Awww. This is writing that comes from everywhere. From watching loved ones go through suffering or ourselves.
Writing is a great escape but sometimes it sticks. There is no escaping but in that moment of writing we are controlling the pen. We are the master of how it’s written. This is powerfully bittersweet.

And I gotta give a shout out to that pic!

Powerfully penned, Nick. Amazing write my friend. Appreciate you.

Damian

The world can get pretty dark. though I would like to think it’s not about the end but about the now.

Thanks for the read friend.

Wonderful write. It has a calming effect, even.
Not enough honest, heart felt writes are done by men. It’s good to see you’re brave enough to pick up that torch. You did so well.

This is calming. Nicely done

Thanks for reading and listening.
I wrote this ten years ago. I tried to make it into a song. I am very glad enjoyed it.
