beautiful lovely Fia Styxian is a poet I admire for many reasons ❤️

Beautifully penned, Fia. Such a lovely and hopeful write my friend. Mark (Styxian) is a guy that inspires many of us and is one hell of a writer. I like this one a lot, nicely done as always. Appreciate you, Cuz.

The imagery in this one is off the chain. Especially for how simple and short it is. Brava!

Thank you Naaj;))

Awwww. This is so heart felt and obviously I get it!
We are a community of writers. Here to encourage and inspire.
When I first encountered Mark on DUP it took me a while to leave a comment.
His work was so good and I wanted to leave a worthy comment and I was speechless!
I finally did and our friendship grew.
It makes me proud and happy to see it’s not just me:)

This write is vivid for its brevity.
Just wonderful amiga:)

My dear Fia, we are all writers, if not poets. We are creators, builders. That puts us in good company with the better half of humanity. Hope and kindness carries much of our personal burdens for us. So much out there wants to destroy, so we huddle at our little spots and write of renewal, in so many different ways. It really does help build our strengths, our character.
I don’t think it is a matter of working harder. I think it is more about expanding on ideas of what to write. The subjects that intrigue us, perhaps. I hope that this site continues to grow, so that we get more and more diversity of talent and expression.
You excel at this, yaknow. You have great skills for this. Because you truly do love the act of writing, yes?
We are as good as the company that we keep. You belong.

Powerfully penned, Fia. Excellent write as always my friend. Nicely done. Appreciate you, Cuz.

Hi Fia

How was the bookcon went in New York?

Expectation will always be man’s downfall. We have an infinite capacity to disappoint each other. Short but powerful

Powerfully penned, Fia. Excellent write with lots of layers my friend. Nicely done as always. Appreciate you.

Thank you Gus for keeping up with me. xoxo

Chère F.,
Love it that you post more often.
And I read all of them.

My favorite sentence in this poem is:

Sometimes thing happen because it could not be held back

Wish I had thought of that. It tells me that I can’t possibly control everything. A comforting thought!

I hope your Tuesday will be happy and full of inspiration.
Warm greetings, Gus

hello beautiful Fia this is a profound write ❤️

So true

Outstanding piece. Well said!

No way! You gotta have hope always!
Old story: There were two boys, one was a pessimist and the other an optimist. They were both put in a barn full of horse crap for a day. At the end of the day, the old man opened the door to see how the boys were doing. The pessimist was far back in the corner, on his tiptoes, complaining about all the shit and the smell. While the optimist was crouched down, frantically flinging the horse crap all over the place. The man asked that boy what was he doing. The boy said “With all this fresh horse shit, there’s gotta be a pony in here somewhere!
But anyway, your write is on point with many of the days for us all. An accurate description of the struggle for basic sanity, at least!

That’s cool. I actually get much of my motivation from reading. it’s the words tumbling around in my head that create little scenarios that I build from. A lot! Music sets a mood, though, yes. Can’t live without it!
