That is just frikin brilliant….broken heart brilliant…..just plain bloody brilliant.
I hope the writing is cathartic for you.
Everything is impermanent…..stay calm and stay safe.

Extremely heartfelt poem only you could have written.

Hey Fia!
Well good then, because I was looking to make it gutting. Success?!
I like wow’s. So thank you!

Beautifully penned, Mark. Into the book it belongs! The longing in this write is felt my friend, really pulled at these old heartstrings. Amazing write. Appreciate you.

Damian

This pulls at the heart and strings it till there is nothing left. Wow

No, it’s not reflective of your current life but what a write. The absence of a partner or loved one can really be felt when things get quiet. No laughter or anyone to take care of and vice versa. Life is meant to be shared. Loneliness sucks. But most of the time it’s only for a little while. People get on planes and stuff, you know, to visit. So hang in there buddy. I’m taking you to a rematch of miniature golf!!

This is relatable to the world, especially after Covid. We still are struggling to get back to how it was:)

It’s a doozy, I know. I meant it to be an ass kicker.
(I’m liking that current avatar of yours! You look great!)
Even if this isn’t an accurate portrayal of current events, it is relatable to many, if not all, a time or two. That’s what I was after.
I don’t want to be stuck in one certain type of “fluffy” writing. Lol.
Thanks btw. You keep kickin butt!

Man , does this hit home.
I won’t name nameds to protect the innocent and the depraved but you lit it up Mark and I knocked them down with broken shot glasses and stains where they should be ….

BIG

RL AWARD if you will anyway …

Hello HHHHHHHH! LOL.
How’s things?
I’m just trying to come up with writes that can make people “see” and feel it. Yaknow?
Thank you, too, for being here!!!

And yeah, I get dragged back to make my first comment at you trying to pull one.
This was pretty brutal, and I was absolutely crazy about the way you paced it.
Glad to hear there was nothing wrong in your personal life. This was a kickass write.
As always.

once in awhile I can mimic the brutality of some of you better writers. It’s motivating actually. Your words are greatly missed young lady.
Thanks, you.

This one hits hard where it hurts the most, heart, memory and soul. I love the depth, the raw honesty and all the unfathomable hope that lingers for a long, long time.
Amazing spill.

Thanks Wally, it’s cool that you went back for this older one. I really wanted to express the ache of loneliness and how it guts us. I hope it works that way. Sometimes when we let the ideas brew in our heads awhile, it takes on a realistic vibe that we can perhaps truly feel once we write them down. Yeah?

Written from the heart. Thank you for sharing Damian.

Music, when being made, and left to people’s decisions, will always run into clashes between the makers of it. Sometimes it’s a clash of personalities, or other times some section of a song that’s causing derision. I once wrote an instrumental acoustic guitar song assuming it would go onto a CD we were making. The actual guitarist in the band used it for a limo ad he was making for a company.

Music is a spiritual thing. It’s a shame when animosity develops over it.

Good one, Damian.

When the passion is in the wrong place, nothing will ever reach the destination. I seriously with that album had come to fruition. I betcha one day he will too. Whether or not he ever acknowledges it…? What does one do when they realize they literally walked away from the talent? I would still love to have heard that album, my friend

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I like the ring of, “True DeadLove Style.” Thank you, it takes an authentic person to recognize another. Right back at you! Appreciate you.

Damian

Well, Damn, both things met their end. Very interesting poem. Nice;))

this reminds me of a pickup that used to race down my street you could hear him coming for miles but when he went by it was just a streak of an odd light I used to honestyly think it was Lucifer…it’s crazy…I really enjoyed this 💕

Brilliantly penned, Tim. Love the flow and the imagery my friend, amazing storytelling as well. What a waste of a classic machine, assholes find a way to ruin everything they touch. lol. I’m also a car guy. Appreciate you.

Damian

Brilliant.

hello dearest Tim I love the rhythm and content of this write beautiful 💕

Beautifully penned, Tim. Truly an amazing write my friend. Appreciate you.

Damian

Nice rhythm love the joker in batman creation

Welcome to Gotham.

Why so serious? Lol 🃏
But seriously, this is very good, Damian.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It’s not really about the Joker, to be truthful. The first two lines are from an old song that was just a silly song that J.J. Burton and I penned the words to in like 1993. But I always liked the first two lines, so I just wrote something else to them. He mentioned the Joker because he was a fan, and I just used that to make the first two lines. lol. A little backstory for you, I always ramble on. lol. Appreciate you.

Damian

hello dearest Damian I really liked this one I guess the joker would kind of be Lucifer always laughing at peoples pain really your poem rocks as they do anyway 💕

Fantastic work.

The first thought I have is a person or boss egging you on while you struggle.or just being smug. Laughing at your pain kinda thing.

Great ink, friend

As usual, I may be reading this wrong. But I’m feeling a sense of apathy is just as deadly as hate/evil. Those who don’t speak up for others, give their silence as a voice to the bullies. It definitely has my mind going, my friend
