This kicks ass. Marvelous lyrics and a wicked image.

Thank you Adira! Yeah it’s been a blast.
I’ll never forget who inspired me ❤️

Phenomenal lyrics, Drieks. Nicely done my friend. Appreciate you.

Damian

I am so sorry for your loss.

Hey Brenda, I’m very sorry. You wrote what you needed to say. Courageous woman you are. Take care.

Daniel

Wow, this hits home in a way that leaves me at a loss for words. I lost two uncles and a cousin to drug addiction, and I have a wife with a mental illness. Both get looked down on by society. Sorry to hear this, friend. My heart goes out to you.

thank you beautiful Mary he is a fighter 💕

thank you beautiful Mary hugs ❤️ so are you…

Brenda, sending prayers and positive energy your way my friend. Powerfully penned. Appreciate you.

Damian

Brenda, this breaks my heart. 💔 I’m sending you hugs & prayers for your boy, your family & you. This line choked me up:

neither hispanic or white

My daughter is half Mexican & half German…neither fully accepted in either. She’s always said she has no place of belonging. Why does society do this to our babies? So many hugs, Brenda ❤️

You are brave to write of all youve endured, I admire that, and Im not that brave, Ill admit

Repent? You did it right. Delicious. Nice spill

So Meg this flows and is all around great poetry. Bravo!

Me too, Will. Thanks for reading!

Ha! I bet so…
I would send them over, but they’re busy

That’s sweet, girl. I think Dragon liked the photos, though.
Thanks for sharing

I echo Adira. A delicious spill, it was!

I’m hugely impressed with your understanding of poetic element.
So, you are Richard the Rascal. Let me put that down. This is another amazing piece with emphasis on personification and symbolism. There’s obviously a metaphorical significance to the changing season, specifically fall to winter. It’s interesting to note that while you give leaves many characteristics of humans in this piece, they lack the unique capacity for understanding… at least, that’s the perspective of the speaker. Your final stanza is a fantastic summation.

This is top shelf material, Richard.

Hi, M’Good Friend! ✌🏼

How great it is, Tim, to be greeted here with one of your appreciatively expressed and inspiringly encouraging reviews, that always seems to grasp my poetry’s core essence.
Yes, like You, I tend to enjoy a good dose of metaphoric imagery in my pieces.

Thank you, Syr, for enjoying this rather sad Free Verse piece! ⁓ Rascal🖌

PS: On your recommendation, I had to check the site out … do you know how one edits their poetry?

Thanks, Buddy👌

Graciously spake, Dear Poetess🥂

Your coaxing words are sweet as honeysuckle to a hopeful bard’s susceptible ear … most especially, from one so poetically accomplished and sophisticated as yourself.
A few devices I tend to favor are color, texture, analogy, simile, and nature … I’m so pleased you’ve recognized their presence in this rather poignant little piece.

Thank you ever-so warmly, Lady DK, for your always welcomed accolades! ⁓ Richard the Rascal🖌

This is a beautiful telling of what one feels towards another.

Wow! You’re a Wordsworth Rascal! Damn, you know how to melt a heart, don’t you? I’m a rhyme and meter girl with much of my poetry, so I appreciate the elegance of this piece despite its lack of contemporary appeal. The message is anti-materialistic and wholly wholesome with a massive slice of humility. You’re slipping in that age factor, that timeless long-lasting relationship that so many country songs emphasize.

It’s worth a roll in the hay any day, Rascal. Put a daisy in my hair.

xoxo

This is one of my favorite subjects, its a poem of sweet sincerity..

Thank you, Dear Poetess 🌈🍷

How delightful of you to pick one of my humble little pieces to read and leave such cozy words of compatibility.

A lovely flower for You 🌻 ⁓ Rascal🖌
