I am old school. Grew into a love of poetry because of my interaction with the Beat poets. Sexton, Plath, Ginsberg, Ferlinghetti, O’Hara and others.
This is confessional style poetry like Sexton, Plath, Levertov and others.
I really felt this one.

Not many speak of Beat poets nowadays. The cutting edge has become forgotten. I’m honored by the comparison, although I don’t feel I fit the measure. Thank you.

It does feel confessional in the way that poets dream about life & love, with a tenderness and unabashed desire both calm & brave. It is what the artform exists for.

I’m a romantic who believes the words of Cervantes
Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!” ― Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote

This poem feels like a quiet stream of thought turning into a river of longing. I love how it moves between vulnerability and hope–questions of love, time, and becoming a better self flow together with such tender honesty.

Much of my writing is stream of thought. Loving someone because of how they make you feel, then easily becomes, what do I want these feelings – this person want to make me become…thank you for sharing your thoughts and appreciation 🌼

Joe, amigo what a write!
It felt like wearing an old comfy shirt. I love that line. It’s so true. Personally when it comes to relationships I think comfortable is underrated. Yes, we want to be desired and have great chemistry, but comfort is real.
It also means you feel safe. So important for love

You’re always too kind (but I don’t mind).
Comfortable, at peace, safe, those are priceless feelings.
I’m glad you found yours. Its hard for us “bull in a China shop” types. 🌼

No one every really wins at war. It is just useless devastation and loss of lives.
This is an impressive portrait showing that.
And no one really survives. Even the survivors suffer so much mental and emotional loss.

Absolutely. The only winners are the governments of the world. Thanks Jacob.

Powerfully penned, Keith. The casualties of war extend farther than those who gave their life, others are scarred physically and mentally for the rest of their existence. With Governments that discard them, after they’ve been broken by war. Sad but true my friend. Incredible write. Appreciate you.

No one comes out unharmed. It’s a shame we here about so much of it time & time again. No matter what part of the world or decade, war rears it’s ugly head. Thanks my friend.

Very clever wordage here. This is sensual and wry in its humor.
Love the “lisp broken words”—-

Thank you J. I obviously wasn’t wearing my spectacles last night – it’s meant to be ‘dot.com’ not ‘dit.com’. mixing my vowels!

You’ve taken painting by numbers to a most sensual high. I don’t know that any man has ever succumbed to “negligee geography”, but hey, there’s a first time for everything. And what a way to go!

There can be so many things that terrorize us. The worst is regrets of the past that stay with us. That haunt us in our sleep or just won’t let us sleep.
Getting rid of those demons can be a long, agonizing and scary process.
Really sharp personification here.
