Thank you Kieth..!
That means a lot to me…
I was watching a poetry video, recently…
They were diving deep into different poetic tequniques to create movement…
Twas super interesting…
(I think that a lot of those things we do, as writers, naturally…
And learning about it is like a mirror and microscope…
Seeing ourselves and seeing deeply into ourselves…)
But yes…
Much appreciated…

Freaking is one super cool modifier… :)))

Been wonderin how swearing comes across…
I feel like a politician…
(Recently they were swearing to look more authentic…)
I don’t swear a lot but then sometimes a do…
It’s strange…
… THinkin out loud a bit.
Thank you so much for your comment…
I would be honored if you used the title..!

Read MoreThe Symphony Art, and the pursuit of beauty. I have found it. So many nights of wandering. Pelted by cold raindrops. Refuge of the animals. Imprints upon the heart - Heartbeat, geometric strange. At one with fringe expanses, the cosmos as caress, so far away from it all. The mortal becoming...

Powerfully penned, Tim. Excellent tribute my friend. It’s a tragedy indeed, sometimes I don’t recognize the world anymore. Appreciate you.

Silencing beauty is one of mankind’s (and I use that term loosely here) gravest mistakes. We need beauty to get through what comes

This is the kind of poem that doesn’t ask permission—it reports from the wreckage. “A poem that will remain unfinished” is a brutal, honest truth, and the blood imagery isn’t sensational, it’s earned. I like how you refuse comfort here—no soft landing, no false resolve. The idea that the poems must replace her voice because they have to is devastating. This reads like a witness statement, not a performance. Necessary, angry, and painfully clear.

This one hits hard. I’ve watched that video over and over again.
I saw another where an agent told a protester, “If you raise your voice I will erase your voice”…while I’m thinking, then the thunder of the masses will drown him if he does that. I can’t wait for the trials and all the video evidence.
We will say their names forever so they are never forgotten.-

This is a beautiful tribute, and I will follow your lead and write one in honor of her.

Thank you, Fia. Please let me know when you do, I’d like to read it.

FYI, I made some subtle changes that satisfy my need to give Renee a little more.

I’m sure Renee would approve of any kind word through verse from another poet. Nice tribute.

Thank you, Tim, I appreciate your kind words. I wish I had made it better. I may come back to make revisions.

As I just added to my post to Fia: ‘FYI, I made some subtle changes that satisfy my need to give Renee a little more.”

I’ve done the same.

I think I see the changes. It’s a beautiful, yet powerful poem.

Thank you, Tim. I must say, with all that’s happening, I am exhausted. That’s not a complaint, just the effect of all this on my mind as much as my body; I’m getting too old to be even a word warrior, especially when I must be concerned for the safety of my family. I’ve been to several protests here in Austin, though it’s hard to get around even with a battery powered wheelchair. I don’t relish doing that when ice (water ice) comes to cover streets and sidewalks. And yes, that does happen here — snow sometimes, too. But ice of any kind is not welcome here. With Texas having a very large border that is NOT fenced off, and our very large migrant community, it’s a bit odd we’ve not been swamped by ICE or Border Control. But then, we’ve got a Republican governor. However, that may change soon, I think. And then what?

Getting old is no fun. I’m sorry to hear you’re confined to a wheel chair. That can’t be easy. As I’m getting older my eyes aren’t as good as they used to be, and these aches and pains in my feet are no fun either. I have this weird feeling like Trump is not going to finish his term. We’ll see if I’m right.

You are not the first to suggest Trump may not finish his lterm. . Not only have I heard that by some one else, I’ve said it, too. He’s one year older than me, and surely under much more stress., so it wouldn’t surprise me if he doesn’t finish the job.
And I’m not confined to a wheelchair, But I can’t be on my feet for more than about three minutes, max, so I have the wheelchair. It helps a lot.

I felt the need to honor her myself this morning. I’m glad to see you arrived first. When they’ve silenced a poet, we must step up and carry on. I am…overwhelmed by the atrocity. And bracing myself for what’s to come from the hit squad next. Beautiful memorial

Cold, stark, and unforgiving—this grips the chest and won’t let go. You feel the frost, the loss, the helplessness. A bleak landscape carved from grief. Raw, precise, and brutal.

Thank you, Thomas. I didn’t even know you were here. I’m just now preparing to do an audio version and will ost it in the Spoken Word category when I’m finished.
