    All I'm Asking

    Another spirt in a quagmire Selling off dignity just to get by Inflated egos that conspire Adding layers to a perpetual lie   Sycophants always fall in line Empty vessels lacking a spine   This world so full of sorrow Throwing obstacles in the way All I’m asking of...

      • I like how this feels angry and tenderly thought at the same time. I like that hopefulness in the dark

    • Damian the fire in the eyes of those zealous followers of the pied piper elevated to guru status is painted in your poem with fire and smoke. Truly a smoking great poem that is as strong emotionally as it is rhythmically. You have real talent my friend.

    • I don’t think I’ve seen subterfuge used in poetry before and you made it fit and feel perfect.
      I think many of us are feeling the same way, especially with the way the world is going.
      Excellent write sir.

    • I can identify with this being I’m turning 64 soon. Life is how you look at it. Your strength in this shows your positive view about yourself. That’s called wisdom. Great writing, Willow.

      • It took a lot of years and scars to arrive at this place. I imagine there will be more scars before I finish my journey. But I don’t mind the dents as long as I know I lived to the best of my ability. I’m rolling up on 58 myself and suddenly 60 doesn’t look that old anymore. Thank you, Tim

    • Ahh but the mind is a fearsomely powerful weapon we often use against ourselves. Thank you, Peter

    • I never thought I’d be one to age gracefully. When I was young I thought for sure I’d fight it tooth and claw. But here I am, looking backwards and smiling forward. I don’t know what the days will bring, but I know what the years have brought. I’ll face them with a cup of something hot and a determination to make the best of them. Thank you, my friend

    • Thank you, Thomas 😊

    • This is an interesting conversation that a mother and son have over dinner. It is a sweet dynamic that he still confides in her about what he is doing in his life and the way she talks to him gives you how much she cares about him.

      • Much gratitude my friend. Yes the mother son conversations is indeed a sweet dynamic that leads to him sharing with her. Than you so much my friend. Deeply appreciated.

    • Incredible! It’s like she doesn’t want to desecrate her sacred holiness even though it begs her to give in to human desires and lust so she transforms back into smoke. Really incredible poem and picture, Crimsin.

      • hello dearest Tim lust can be all consuming…the soul moveable but untouchable like smoke… I love you review thank you graciously ❤️

    • Nice! Enticing and not tacky at all. This is pure poetry, Crims. You did a great job with it. And what a pleasure to read it.

    • Passionately penned, Brenda. An amazing write my friend. Nicely done per usual. Appreciate you.
