    The Jade Sutras

    • I can tell that trip had a deep impact on you. Love this 4-part piece of work.

    • Okay, you earned a “Wow!”. this is very good. The second one is my favorite, because it seems like the peak of them all.
      Even, the fourth reads like an epilogue, btw. Planned? A solid quartet of strong writing.
      Awesome crafting of words!

    • Beautifully penned, S. Excellent collection of poems my friend. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • Libellule, this poem is so artfully crafted and an exquisite blend of light, artistry and form. There s gentle flow here that felt like reflections on the art so gently scribed I could feel what you saw in an emotional way. Truly great poetry.

    • Poetic oxygen is hanging by a fingernail in our world. But! There is hope. Well done, Willow.

    • Thought on this one Lady, maybe to much. We think it would had hit even harder if posted closer to Halloween

      • To be honest, I hadn’t even thought of Halloween. 😂 Just nursing a bit of pain. I actually didn’t think on it much at all. This was a write and drop piece. I tend to do that when emotion is high. Thank you for your thoughts, ME

    • Extraordinarily compelling ink ma’am .. I was hooked from the off and enjoyed the ride write to the very opposite end and no kidding .. Write on my fine literary friend .. Neville

      • I’m not entirely convinced my muse will give me much time off. If you saw my unposted drafts…egads. Thank you for the support on this one

    • Powerfully penned, Willow. Excellent write my friend with precise imagery and wordplay. Felt this one! Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • I felt it too…like a baseball bat to the crotch. There were layers in this one. World and…life, if you get my drift. Thank you, my friend. Your continued support means a lot

    • The way you combined nature and human in this piece is breathtaking. We should not be used as collateral damage for the error of polluting the air. That is one way I took this piece.
      Then the ones that are cast aside unnoticed.. That is sad, but I believe that there is someone noticing them. They may not know what to do to bring more light in their black hole.
      Just thoughts I got from your piece.

      • You’re not far off the mark on this one. As I said to Damian,👆 there are layers to it. Where it takes the reader is between them and their imagination. Thank you for your thoughts, Fia. Much appreciated

    • the same as for all of us – some care
      thank you Willow

    • Wow. This is a cigarette and a shot write. It is almost bitter, almost defeatist. Yet it also feels like you’re scoffing at the processes too. You need a seashell necklace while writing like this. Reminding you of what’s salty out there.

      • Well, I don’t smoke and I’m a tragic lightweight drinker. Just a full blood hippy who lives by the Moon. Still, I get your drift. I guess when I was writing this, I was reminding myself that my little whimpers are fairly insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Thank you for your thoughts, Styxian

    • Willow…you had me from the first line and held me there until the last.
      Message delivered and your mission accomplished.
      The universe never pauses.Everything rises and ceases,nothing permanent….thank God.Imagine a permanent Trump.

      • A permanent Trump sounds like eternal hell. It’s bad enough dealing with it now. And we still have years ahead. I don’t even like the contemplate what will happen next. It’s like living in a minefield. Thank you for your thoughts, Peter

    • This is dark with a lot of reality in it too. You nailed it with your silent hammers.
      What ever the subject matter your writing is it’s articulate and thought provoking.

      • We can’t always hear the blow coming. We just find ourselves flat on our back in agony. Such is our world at present. Thank you for your thoughts, Adelphina

    • Brilliant use of languge and great imagery.

    • damn…incredible write.

    • The world is all too willing to leave the hurt ones behind. Great ink friend.

      • Truth and facts right there. We gotta pick each other up. Thank you, my friend

    • We see each other. We hear each other. We fall together. We rise together. Thank you for seeing, Volupta

    • The jade Buddha sits in silence. “Silence carves itself into serenity,”
      This is going to be one of my favorites that you have written.

    • Beautifully penned, S. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • Libellule, only a poet as gifted as you can take a jade carving and make it into a journey into the heart of timelessness itself. There is truth here that lives and breathes in the air of your poet’s soul.
