Dude the pic alone deserves a host of comments, there’s nothing wrong with letting it mature a little. Tight work

You so have to watch out for those old ones. They can put some shit on you.

Powerfully penned, Alexandria. Excellent write my friend, love the layers in this. Appreciate you.

Brava! That last stanza blew my mind!

This screams with such a powerful quiet strength and says so much with a surprisingly few amount of words.

Superb work.

Always remember. It takes strength to be gentle and kind.

More please! I understand this well. Slight empath – had to be able to read a room to survive. I can feel the hate and the love and ALWAYS know when to leave.

This poem makes me think of several things at once. A relationship in which one partner tries to dominate. The other wants an equal split or a literal split.
In a house, the rule has to be balanced. A back and forth, not all take and no give.

But this also can relate to the current political situation. The one seeking power and crush all in his way. We don’t want to be ruled like that from that house, either.
This is good stuff…Opening the doors to varied interpretations allows readers to see what they will for themselves. And that is good poetry.

You’ll know when it’s right
Ok ?

Chère A.,
Hope this finds you well?!

Over here it is 7 in the morning and I played our coop on earphones.
We’re trekking again.

This beautiful poem of your slipped through the cracks. I’m really sorry for that.

Cause I remembered your remark of you being on StarsRite too.
I was brought up with the ‘if a girl says no, she means no’ principle. So, if you want to write only one poem, I have to settle for that.

But I hope that I can lure you to write a poem again!

Our coop drew 4.685 listeners* so far, so may I hope for another one? In NL*
Anyway, I wish you a beautiful Sunday.
Warm regards, Gus
