This is a perfectly written testament to our fractured society , dear Keith. Unfortunately , the news on radio , tV and social media is dominated by reports on Wars and crime. I’m afraid this fuels all the negativity even more. If we want peace and human values, we must focus on them and live them. Peace to you my friend! xox

The negativity is on going all day and all night. We need to separate this from our lives or we’ll become a negative creep.
Peace to you as well, my awesome friend..xo

This is good. I like poems that have questioned beginning and then give what it could be.

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.

Great tribute dude, as we said this is just starting here in America. There is more than two more years of of rights lost, invasions, and lies. Prepare

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.

Look how the rest of the world is aware of the dangers. Not North America. Can you say that corruption is far greater here then anywhere else in the free world? Thanks man.

Yes, absolutely! And you are one of the fire starters, dear Keith! Clear words, powerfully written. You did amazing job with this!-

At least you live in a country where the government is aware of Monsanto’s deadly existence. Our world is being ruined by this deviant corporation. America continues to fuel them. Thanks Elke..xo
