    • Love this! Also, great music taste!

      • Hi Drieks!
        I LOVE your taste in music so to know we are in tune with our tunes made my day!
        This was my version of the song. lol

        I’m a huge fan of Queens of the Stone Age.
        I’m also a huge fan of Brody Dalle:)

        Thanks for stopping by my rose patch friend:)

        • I’m not familiar with Brody Dalle. Looks like I have some homework to do! Thank you for pointing me towards artists that are new to me. I love discussing music. Have a wonderful day ❤️

          • She was married to the lead singer of Queens of the Stone Age. Divorced now but I love her music! This is one of my faves.

            • I’m so glad you mentioned her. I’ve been putting her songs on my playlist one after the other. Thank you!

    • Dark and dragged kicking, we love it Lady

      • Hey Meme!
        Thank you, thank you!
        I was in a mood when I wrote this lol
        I love females who can kick some ass. Hahaha

        Later gator!

    • An army of you?! The world isn’t ready! LOL
      This is rockin! I like the edginess of it, too. It shows a side of you that doesn’t get aired much. The grit and the power-punch lines. I love it! That’s my girl! (Woman!)
      Keep that fire baby, you’re going to need it soon! What!

      • Hahaha, an army of me would be fabulous if I do say so myself.
        We would storm all the Pandora jewelry stores! Hehehe

        I’ve been told I look like other people! Stopped in the mall and all kinds of stuff. True story!

        Thanks for all the encouragement and support babe.
        Means the mundo!

        • I already explained to you why people think that you’re a TV personality etc. Because you have so much in common with what it takes. The charisma and personality. The looks, obviously.
          Yadi yadi yadi. Don’t be getting all smug and self-righteous on me! Lol

    • Aww thank you but you are biased! lol
      Self-righteous never, smug on rare occasions!
      Hey I’m human not perfect lol

    • This is a rip up the road poem. A take no prisoners poem! A plasma TV for the ship’s deck matte poem! Walk the plank on roller skates poem. Eat a box of pop tarts in one sitting poem. A half-gallon of chocolate milk in one chug poem. lol Good one.

      • Hahah. I love the energy of your comment! Woop Woop!
        Thank you for catching my vibe buddy.
        If I remember correctly you were the one who said I have a doppelgänger on DUP!

        Roller skating off a plank! In real life I’m a klutz! I’d roll off before I get to the end. 😂

        Thanks for stopping by amigo!

    • Powerfully penned, Adel. Love the vibe and attitude of this write my friend. Excellent work. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Hey Damien.
        What can I say, I was in a mood when I wrote this. lol
        I’m glad you enjoyed my clone wars! 😝

        Have a great day!

    • Love the music vibes. Great ink.

      • Hey Nick:)

        Thank you! Something about music always gets me motivated to write.
        Thanks for stopping by!

    Not a White Flag Situation

    • 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.

      • Truth is fairly powerless without action. But dishonesty seems to be hyperactive. Thank you, Fia

    • 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. 💚

      • I think I’ve hit my saturation point for imbeciles. They’re everywhere with those flapping flag and bullying. Ugh…

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

      • Gotta keep light in sight. It’s especially important in these dark days. Thank you, Brenda 🧡

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

      Damian

      • I called it a tantrum. My roommate suddenly decided I “got shit to say!” and wanted to share with everyone he knows. Gotta watch us quiet ones…just because we aren’t making a scene doesn’t mean we aren’t making some noise. Thank you, my friend

    • 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.
      Curt

      • Oh, I’ve been bellowing. A few here can tell you I’ve been mouthing these frustrations for a hot minute. We do what we can and encourage everyone to do their part, whatever that is. That’s how we make change. I just wish humans weren’t so determined to repeat their worst mistakes. History is the best teacher…which is why they’re trying to bury history. Don’t want anyone to see their playbook. Thank you, Curt

    • 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!

      • I often find truth to be very urgent. Because human beings seem so determined to ignore, bury or deny it. They have their flags. I’ve got my ink. Mind is always stronger than might, I think. Thank you!

    • 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.

      • I’ve been expressing myself through poetry for years. Decades, really. Only recently been messing with spoken word. I’ve never been able to find anyone who could read it as I feel it. Some things I leave naked, no spoken word. Thank you

        • I certainly understand that. Not everyone here who has posted work reads it themselves. I do, but it’s because I am also an actor. I’ve spent my life on stage, in one guise or another, and I find it difficult to hand it to another to perform.

          • Due to personal issues, I am unable to voice them myself. I have to rely on AI to get it right. And it takes a lot of fight to get it right. I wish I could simply read them myself

            • Well, if there is anything I can do to help, let me know. That include doing the voiceover for you sometime, or a part of one… Anything. And I take direction well! Just don’t tell my wife I said that.

    • 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 🙂

    Write You Real

    I always knew you existed.All those years I created a loverout of words, to fill the void; That absence within my purpose.-To have someone, something to do with my hands besides write. Someone to hold, long, in winter.Someone to blend...

    • Dude you don’t have to write dark pieces, you’re a lover. The world needs far more light flowing through love than our darkness Halloween pieces. Tight one dude

      • I have a few dark pieces. But it isn’t something I like to dwell within too much. Yaknow? Creative writing to me is also a form of escapism. So I prefer not to escape to the darkness much. It’s therapeutic to write ourselves out of the glum. At least it seems to me anyway.
        Thank you, again, for the support my man. I’m probably taking a break from posting material for a bit. But I will still sign in and catch up on some reading. I do enjoy good reads!

    • This is full of emotion and beautiful imagery.
      As writers we get it. Totally get it. Our dreams are what encourage us to write. That extraordinary feeling of connection with something beyond our grasp. So we grab the pen and off we go with our words. Trying to convey what we feel in our own sense of style and tone. You never disappoint. Your writing is exceptional because you’re exceptional. You have mastered expression my love. This is a beauty.

      With much love and respect
      Adelphina

      • Well I respect your opinion!
        You know that this is obviously to you, about you. If it’s any form of a love poem, or prose, you know that you are the star in it. Because you’re the brightest thing I’ve ever seen. Inspiration is so easy with you in my life. I’m blessed now. I have a focus to look towards. You!
        And thank you, for being you. Although we have real life, it’s nice to be cozy here too!

    • If I ever find that special someone, I hope I can write something like this. Nice one, Styx.

      • Thank you Sir Tim.
        As everyone probably knows (from DUP world) Del and I were not on that site looking for a personal connection like this. It just built itself and now here we are. Maybe that was the key, we were not looking. Sometimes when we least expect it… so they say.
        I do think, though, that creative writing is a very good indicator of “like minds” understanding the processes and such. It can be a lonely hobby really. And timing, perhaps. The right place at the right time and all that!
        I’m hoping that your successes become excessive soon! In all that you seek.

    • Beautifully penned, Mark. Love the title, this is an excellent write my friend. I can identify with that process, not always knowing where a write will lead sometimes not till the very end. I knew I wasn’t the only one. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Man, I just get these little visions/ideas and it makes me want to write it out. Yet is obviously never complete until we begin the creative crafting. Then who knows! LOL
        I think a lot of times it’s the mood that accompanies that brief vision, that guides the words. Yeah?
        Also, who hasn’t written a love poem, or fifty, about finding love, and having it. Whether it’s a current reality or not, we all have been there I’m sure. It becomes sort of guide, too, because you’ve spent so much time thinking about it, that much of it can fall into place.
        Thank you, Damian. I think I’m going to take a break from writing new material, because I’m neglecting my chore of getting my book together! Del is much more focused, obviously, than I am. LOL

    • Truly beautiful work, my friend.

      • I appreciate that, Thomas. I do try to make my writes worth the readers time. It’s how we connect here, through mutual appreciation for the craft of it all, and the understanding of a write well versed. I try!

    • Totally absorbing, the more I scrolled down. I found it intriguing to learn of how real you wrote her – how immersing that discovery felt from a reader’s point of view. We don’t always know where our muse will lead us, do we? But oh, how lovely the discovery we find!

      • So true. I liked the title when it came to me, so I needed a write to go with it! The ideas were pretty easy to come by, as well.
        Many times I get motivated by things that I’ve recently read, and it sets the mood for me to write.
        Thank you very much for the encouraging comment, Kelly.

    • Yes, that perfect lover, the soulmate. In my life she was dreamt of but never found. Like you, I have written about her and dreamt about her. I’ve tried to paint her image, even though I didn’t know what she looked like. Your poem perfectly describes how we feel about that special someone.

      • Well speaking from experience, when we are not looking is when it seems to happen! Our guard is down, our doubts even, etc. If someone finds us, and accepts us as is, then perhaps that is the way it should always begin. Nothing fancy, nothing prepared.
        Thanks Sam, I appreciate your positive note!

    • A very brief incorporation… a warm poem… that’s all I needed.

      • it was an idea I had, so I figured I’d go for it and see what I could come up with. I guess like all of us do!
        Thanks for the acknowledgement my man. I’m still kickin and good to see that you are too.
