Willow, this had me tearing up. This struck many chords.

Brilliant and sad.

It’s a dangerous time for American citizens,especially those that dare to be different or decent.

This is an appropriate piece for the times, but sadly it’s going to get so much worse. So many more of the defiant ones will lose there lives for freedom. But when you don’t know history it’s bound to repeat itself, maybe Revelations saw all of this.

Powerfully penned, Willow. A heartfelt tribute to a fallen sister of the pen, but most of all a mother and a human being taken from her child and loved ones. It’s fucking disgusting behavior by a bunch of twisted fucks who aren’t qualified for the job and looking to spill innocent blood. I truly don’t recognize this world anymore. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

The best poem on her I’ve heard. This is very moving Willow. I can only hope to write like this someday.

Such a brilliant and touching piece Willow. As many said here, this is going to get worse until someone or many revolt and fight the opposition. November elections are so very important! Until then, be alert and one step ahead of this ruthless, tyrannical dictator!

This hurts in the quiet way that lasts longer than outrage. You’re not trying to explain grief—you’re standing inside it and letting it speak for itself. The repetition of “we will shout your name” feels like a vow, not a slogan, and the turn from shouting to whispering at the end is where this poem really guts me. That’s the truth of mourning: public rage fades, but private grief keeps breathing. This is restrained, honest, and necessary. Keep writing like this.

A light removed, undeserved. Regardless of her motivations, none of it warranted a death sentence.

A wonderful, albeit bittersweet, write, Willow.

This is a very scary time. I think we need to be sad, angry, but also hopeful. And also most importantly we need to take action. This is a fight for humanity. We will lose friends and we will be called names and some of us will die for our freedom. But every Democrat needs to understand this doesn’t change without voices and voting.

Great poem, friend.

Wasn’t it weird to hear she was a poet? It struck a chord in me and the loss was felt double. The world needs poets.

Powerfully penned, Fia. All this madness is getting innocent people killed, it’s insane the amount of blood being spilled by this death cult regime. A fellow poet and most importantly a human being was taken from her child and loved ones. I’m fucking disgusted by all this senseless violence. Nice tribute my friend. Appreciate you, cuz.

Damian

Nicely done, Fia, Thank you. It is hard to see anyone die so senselessly and ruthlessly, especially by someone who does it while cameras are rolling, knowing his act will be seen around the world. Perhaps that is why he took such a risk; but I think he knew that Trump and Noem would have his back. They all should rot in hell. Soon.

I always think of how these acts are only what we see. I wonder and am scared of what they do when no one’s looking.
Monsters, and honestly I don’t think much for their supporters either.

Great tribute, these are sad times Lady indeed. Wat you’re seeing is straight out of Hitler’s and the Nazi’s play book. This country played with this man and now is facing it’s possible end.

I woke up this morning and needed to speak of the murder. I had no idea there were already several pieces posted. Essentially we have a narcissistic sadist with his hire hitmen out there, acting like people are expendable. I watched the video with my daughter and we were both struck by how casually he shot her and then walked away like it was nothing. Because he knows his keepers will cover his ass. Empowering men whose natural tendency is cruelty was intentional, make no mistake. Their day of reckoning will come. Just not soon enough.

Were in some real trying times right now. This poem is well written and real to each word I read here. Nice job Fia..xox

Chère F.,
Lovely poem for a horrible happening.

Scene of the rhyme
Is always better than scene of the crime

Keep the courage, please…
Warm regards, Gus

At the minimum, it is manslaughter. She was attempting to flee, not harm. He could have simply taken one step back. Even if he isn’t charged with a crime, he should be removed from that job. He has an irrational temperament.

Yes, you are a diamond. I like how you put this together to show that you are.

Beautifully penned, Peter. Excellent write my friend. A diamond in the rough so to speak kinda vibe. Appreciate you.

Damian

Marvelous…

Wonderful wordplay…

Perfect ending…

Drieks, this is great.

Powerfully penned, Drieks. Excellent lyrics and a stellar arrangement my friend. Nicely done per usual. Appreciate you.

Awesome on so many levels…

Agreed with Cipher so many great stanzas, you even came with the word play, to cool Lady.

Outstanding, girl! I can see Poe, sitting in a hardbacked chair pulled around backward so he can lean his arms on the top., and he’s tapping his toes, girl, and smiling big, while whispering, “Damn, I wish I were that good!”

this is beautiful lovely Fia Happy birthday wishing you all the best on this special day you entered here changing so many lives ❤️

Happy Birthday, dear Fia! 💐♥️

A furiously uplifting read.

Happy belated birthday, Fia. 🎂🍨

Chère F.,
Too late to be fashionably late, this must come across as downright lazy. It’s not intended this way. If still OK: congratulations to you! In the Netherlands we kiss three times on the cheek. Be prepared for this. 50% more at no extra cost!!!

I used to be in the category of ignoring my birthday, but a beautiful friend on Hawaii taught me to celebrate the day of ‘another time around the sun‘ as they call it there. ANd since then I do, celebrate it in a small way.

So I’ll try and be present in time next year!
Warm regards, Gus

✨”HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LADY FIA!”✨

Happy Birthday to ya, Dear One,
may you celebrate in style
and on this day of honor, too,
here’s a warming birthday smile.

May your day be very joyous,
one you soon will not forget,
filled with loving camaraderie,
not one misfortune to regret.

May the sun rise bright today
to shine across your lovely face,
may all life surround you gaily
in friendship’s warm embrace.

Here’s a cheerful toast to you 🥂
the lady held in high esteem;
may your heart be ever-warmed,
and your birthday ~ like a dream.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR FIA!”
With much poetic love! ⁓ Richard 💕
