    In A Shoe Shop

    She is fitting a new shoe—Cinderellawith toenails dipped in wine.Still,in her unwitting display of feet,sunshine suckling on her toes,and they begin a conversationwith your eavesdropping eyes. Lingering—when they will meet her lingerie.A forbidden fruit,sensually dripping into her shoes. I...

    • Awesome piece dude. Sexy and passionate. Don’t get too soft on us though.

      • “You are getting soft, brother.”
        No. I am not. Hahaha. If you can see, the poem is slightly between the erotic fetish and voyeurism, which both, I think, lay in your line of subjects. 😉
        Thank you, for reading and commenting. It means alot.

    • I do have few of these and I try to dip in different styles. Only I don’t post them much.
      Thank you, Styxian. For the read and the comment. It means alot “)

        It is joyful knowing you’ve also written a piece for Easter … and, your compliment is inspiring, too.

    • The image of the empty tomb isn’t stark or hollow to me; it feels full, like something unseen has taken its place and filled the space with meaning. What lingers is a soft, grounded certainty that life moves forward, and that forward motion carries a quiet kind of joy. Thank you for this read. Brilliantly written, Richard.

    • Beautifully penned, Richard. An amazing Easter write my friend. Amen. Thanks for sharing this one. Appreciate you.

    • This is truth and it is hard to swallow but it is being called out by many. Good write

    • The sad thing is that you still have many who refuse hard understanding, because they are living in their own bubble.

    • Like I say. If a motherfucka don’t believe then they can fact check this entire poem. I will never apologize for speaking or writing the truth.

    • Church and state should stay separate…It’s not though. Good piece

    • Happy Easter dearest Poet it was really a pagan fertility rite called Ishtar…Nature is where I go to find God…this is well said ❤️

    • I talk to my dog

      Dog is God
      God is Dog

    • Cleverly penned, Speak. As always you deliver my friend. They should always be separate indeed, unfortunately it seems some claim didn’t get the memo. Excellent write. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

      • Some people need religion.
        Something mightier to believe in.
        We have poetry
        Maybe that’s enough ?

        Thx D

    • Hello Gary. I agree with your poem & statement. To the point and you always nail it! Maybe to a cross!!

    • I’ve always said I’d like believe but I’m to pragmatic or stubborn or I don’t like Kool Aid …

    • Dear PS,

      I can always count on a particular dynamic in your poems that lay bare life at its core. And I always appreciate that because it’s raw and always truthful. Long live pragmatism. H🌷

    • Dear H,

      My father was pragmatic and I guess I inherited that trait from him.
      Religion is a something you grow up with or not. I had a religion but I’ve chosen to segregate the good from the allegory. The good part is spiritual and the rest for me is a pragmatic look at the people around me and what we share.

      It’s so good to see you H.
      I don’t come here often but every so often I need a place to put stuff.

      You found me, I’m saved !!!

      💕

    • Totally agree with your stance on religion. But it’s the relationship I see in your poem that makes me dig it. You have a way of saying a lot in a very sideways way. When you can talk religion with someone and then sit in a comfortable silence… that’s gold.
      So great to read your writing.
      ❤️k

    • I’m really glad to see your comment on this entry. Writing it reminded me of our DUP years. When our community would come together and you could write something like this without reprisals…

      Appreciate you Red

      You make me want to write more …

      ❤️

  • Sorry??

    What does the word even mean
    An apology that is supposed to be given when felt
    The word does not erase the feelings
    That absolute absurdity of it

    As a child you were made to say your sorry
    Looking in that same child’s eyes
    There is not an ounce of remorse
    Confusion
    Anger

    Adolescents are no better
    Sorry rolls off the…Read More

    • A ‘sorry’ like this is nothing more than the ego trip to make whoever said it feel good about themselves and nothing to do with changing what they have done. To be truly sorry, takes action, means changing attitude, behavior, and not doing whatever they have done again. A good poem for day #5 of poetry month, Fia. -Curt
