    • Greetings, Adira 🥀

      Thank you for your time taken to read and review this rather poignant piece in homage to a failed romance.
      The verse you’ve selected to highlight (I think) is the core of this work … good eye and insight in understanding it’s significance.

      Your praise inspires me, too … hugs! ⁓ Richard🖌

    A Setting Dawn

    Funny how I do feel like a pawn,before this now setting dawn.Each day over before it has begun,eclipsed by a forever waning sun. Just another creature of the night,sealed in tight within the write,treading water in all of this ink,struggling...

    • Dear S.
      Oddly, this poem made me hopeful. I don’t even know why. Maybe this; I know you worked well and hard to make this poem and while you were doing it, you may have felt it relieve your sorrow and emptiness. Am I wrong? If I’m lucky, when I’m low and have the freedom to write, if I’m not put upon by some duty or demand and I find few words to write, it frees me a bit from my palatable discord. Is this it?
      Thanks for writing this.
      Jim

    • This poem gives me a feeling that the writer is tired but will continue their plight on putting words on the page. Nice;))

    • Powerfully penned, LDF. Amazing write my friend. Appreciate you.

    • This is sweet. You capture innocence seen on a young girl from a males pov. Enjoyed this

      • Thank you sincerely, Fia 🌾

        I’m so very pleased you found favor and enjoyment in this poetically masculine version of a few moments in a young girl’s blossoming.

        Your words inspire me.
        Hugs ‘n happy blessings! ⁓ Richard🍃

    Call of Skulls

    Call of Skulls I have been reading the obituaries, lately, morbid perhaps. I also walk through Pilgrim Cemetery, at night, the place where my father’s tomb is, the place where his father’s tomb is. My grandfather was a World War II Veteran, buried with the...
