this is so sensual. Very nice;))

From the moon to the imagery in touch and plea, this is pure, beautiful seduction

Church and state should stay separate…It’s not though. Good piece

Happy Easter dearest Poet it was really a pagan fertility rite called Ishtar…Nature is where I go to find God…this is well said ❤️

I talk to my dog

Dog is God
God is Dog

Cleverly penned, Speak. As always you deliver my friend. They should always be separate indeed, unfortunately it seems some claim didn’t get the memo. Excellent write. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

Hello Gary. I agree with your poem & statement. To the point and you always nail it! Maybe to a cross!!

I’ve always said I’d like believe but I’m to pragmatic or stubborn or I don’t like Kool Aid …

Dear PS,

I can always count on a particular dynamic in your poems that lay bare life at its core. And I always appreciate that because it’s raw and always truthful. Long live pragmatism. H🌷

Dear H,

My father was pragmatic and I guess I inherited that trait from him.
Religion is a something you grow up with or not. I had a religion but I’ve chosen to segregate the good from the allegory. The good part is spiritual and the rest for me is a pragmatic look at the people around me and what we share.

It’s so good to see you H.
I don’t come here often but every so often I need a place to put stuff.

You found me, I’m saved !!!

💕

Totally agree with your stance on religion. But it’s the relationship I see in your poem that makes me dig it. You have a way of saying a lot in a very sideways way. When you can talk religion with someone and then sit in a comfortable silence… that’s gold.
So great to read your writing.

I’m really glad to see your comment on this entry. Writing it reminded me of our DUP years. When our community would come together and you could write something like this without reprisals…

Appreciate you Red

You make me want to write more …

❤️

Well, you have laid it all out and if anyone had any questions, they need to read this again. Nicely put.

Thanks 😊

Unapologetically penned, Lizz. This is a powerful and honest write my friend. We all have ups and downs in our journey as writers, taking accountability and living to tell the story is what keeps us putting pen to paper. That’s just my opinion though. Excellent work here. Appreciate you.

Very cool. It places you in front of a crowd, that you are not fearful of. I enjoy self-empowering writes. it isn’t egotistical, it’s affirmation of your worth. Well done.

It’s plain to see you’re a serious and articulate writer. You’re able to express yourself astutely and with no reserves. I envy your unapologetic courage. Great write here.

Thanks. I’ve been writing as a young teen, and as a teen I had no one to talk to, to express myself so I turned to poetry it was the only way for me to get things out. Though through time I’ve become better at my poetry. And I keep it as real as possible.
