    • Now you mention it and so eloquently .. I think that many of us have been there and asked the same searching questions .. Write on brother Curt .. You do it so well .. Neville 😎⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍

    • Brilliant and sweet. Excellent.

    • This ones of those that is written in simple words yet because the feelings are real and genuine, it’s like the only way to reflect these feelings is by the simplicity. no big words, no complication, it is as it is. It reads for me as a song of love and life, a sweet sad love song.

      • Forgot to mention the word sentimental too, it’s a sentimental poem/song.

      • It’s always a pleasure to read your comments, Light. Thank you for dropping them. Some poems are meant to be stated straight up, like driving a fast moving car and eyes on the road ahead. While some poems are meant to said softly, with flowers strewn across the road and lots of detours to smell them. I like your take on this poem.

    • Thank you, Mary. But those dots at the end of your words, please continue!! ;0)

    I Walk Alone

    I Walk Alone   dusty, well-worn moccasins travel through mesa shadows, windblown arroyos, along dry river beds of delusions alone with myself.   steam from hot rocks surround naked skin attempting to cleanse the death that follows me; cleanse my wolf spirit so that I may run, alive, breathe in high mountain air, drink...

    • Favorite line: You cannot cleanse the loneliness, and the sun shines in rainbows, and clouds speak to grandmother moon. This is a wonderful piece of poetry

    A Story... Once

    A Story….. Once   “Once upon a time”:…      or so the stories go; hell, even the Raven’s Poe used these words:      “once upon a midnight dreary.” But who is this knocking at my door? She was the      once in my life and I welcomed her in once upon...

    • We played this game in messages to each other very recently, did we not? Oh, on a much smaller scale, of course, and with much less beautiful words than those you have used here, my friend. i.e., “Ah, the sweet smell of success! Or is it the success of sweet smells? etc.” Yes? I like this version much better. You added beauty to it, and made it much more intimate and meaningful. What we did before was meaningless fluff, now a silk purse from a poet’s ear.

    • I am a fan of Poe’s I like how you changed each stanza around like that;))

      • Don’t worry, in reality I handed out candy last night. But who knows which beast slumbers deep inside me! 😂 thank you for reading and commenting, my friend!

    • This is a wicked write Elke. The detail and marvelous imagery you create is executed wonderfully. Hope your Halloween was filled with magic, scares and happiness.

      • I’m really no big fan of horror movies and stories but I couldn’t resist trying my hand at this genre. You are my role model! Thank you very much for reading and writing your kínd comment, dear Keith!

    • I hear the knocking, but it can’t come in.

      • Come in, dear Adagio, there are some sweets left over. If you dare… 🤣
        Thanks a lot for reading and commenting!

    • Shreek, eeeke, eat my little furies!! BOOO!
      Men, far too many, and their deranged minds, know no end when it comes to torturing women.
      Happy Halloween….er….DO NOT ENTER, BEWARE!!
      Thanks Sappho, we be shakin’

      • Thank you very much for reading and commenting, my friend!
        How I wished these slaughters in the name of God had used their creativity on more meaningful and helpful projects than on satisfying their misogyny and there lust for power!

    • Wickedly penned, Elke. Excellent Halloween write my friend. Appreciate you.
