You are an incorruptible observer of lifeWith precise words, cutting like a knife You analyse with sharp focus and sobrietyExposing the abyss of a rotten societyYour essays stand out by eleganceThoughtful research and eloquenceYour exciting reports on music historyAre...

  Beautifully penned, Elke. Amazing tribute to Keith, you really captured his essence my friend. He definitely deserves the honor he’s a stand up guy from the neighborhood. From what he commented above I think he approves. Nicely done. Appreciate you .

  A powerful ode to the role of the writer as witness, critic, and humanist. Clear-eyed, generous, and thoughtfully constructed.

Love is the Blood Donor

The cursor blinks as the last whisky drip from the final bottle on highway ‘where do we go from here’ Our saviour turns wine into words and we all drink, be merry, fucked on verb and vowel aperitif the last supper is merely a dot.com away Your love for each other inspires and it's the colour of snipers'...

  Hahaha. This is brilliant my friend.
  Where would we be without being inspired!
  It just feels so good when we catch it, you know, that special feeling to grab our pens like wands and connect it to paper.
  This write has my brain firing on all cylinders amigo!
  Thanks for the blood/love rush!
  I am honored:)
  
  And Honoria is one of my favorite human beings.
  You have me in great company!

  Dude, I’m at a loss with what to say. Yes, that happens. Lol
  As I said the other day, I have an online friend for over 25 years now, because of creative writing. We all may write alone, but we revel in it in little groups.
  Saturday I went day-drinking at the VFW with some other veterans. It’s been awhile and they let me know that I was missed.
  An online site has much the same sentiment. it lets you know that you do matter, even a little bit. So thank you, Rob. It’s mutual.
  Who knew back then that me and that punk Del would become a couple! LOL (yes, we call each other punk a lot).
  A side bonus of it all is that we both got to see how “real” the other was. No fake persona, no BS. We are what we write.
  I do try to be sincere and I suppose Del is validation of that.
  Happy New Year, Rob. ’26 is an open world of opportunity. Snatch it by it’s hair! lol
