A good write

An awesome write by an awesome writer, if I do say so myself! I’m happy that you decided to post something in here! You’re needed! And this isn’t really a dark write, my dear. I get more of a vibe of searching for a solution to a frustrating moment, yeah? Anyway, I love the message you carried consistently throughout the poem. It moves along fluidly and keeps the reader spellbound to the end. Well done, my love!
Hey, get some sleep!

Beautifully penned, Adel. Another excellent write with lots of layers my friend. I concur with Mark, I don’t think it’s a dark write, it does have a mysterious vibe though. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you.

Hi Gus!

It’s so wonderful to hear from you. Yes I did! Willow is a rock star so her ode gave me an extra skip in my step. Haha
I am so honored to have an Amsterdam fan base which would not be possible without you and your talent! No joke. You rock on that guitar amigo!
As for the write I had not been on for a while and decided to post something. I’ve been busy finishing the first draft of my book! So excited for the future:). Life is a true blessing.
Thanks for stopping by and for the read.
Give Amsterdam a huge hello and thank you from me!

Well hello Tim!

Thank you so much for stopping by for a comment. It’s been a while since I came on so thank you.
How have you been! Still drumming along I hope. Haha
Yes, I wanted it to have a witch doctor vibe to it.

My grandmother would always give us blessings if she knew we were having night terrors or having really horrible luck. It was her way of trying to help you. I look back at it now and realized how much power she gave her faith.
I struggle with that sometimes but other times I’ve realized it’s all you got amigo:)

Stay cool Tim!,

There’s definitely nothing dark about this one, girl. This one rolls out almost spiritually. Whether pagan calling to their priestess or spirit calling to her inner priestess…this hits beautifully. We have entered “spooky girl” season and it’s time to bring out the fun stuff indeed! I’m not much good at spooky, but maybe I can try my hand in honor of the month. 🙌

I needed to read this today willow. This hit the right spot.

Awesome, and very relatable.
Actually, I was telling Del earlier that I want to work on something called “Book Of Scars”. Looks like you beat me to it! Maybe I will, still. But I don’t know if I can not be influenced by your write here. That’s okay!
I had some “issues” when I was a kid. But, as I got older, I realized that I would indeed outlive the demons. And I have. I am extremely mentally tough, for whatever reasons. Yet I do have a part of me that still feels the good out there. Perhaps that is why I enjoy your writes as much as I do. It’s real and easy to relate to.

Powerfully penned, Willow. Another excellent write with lots of layers, but also wisdom and guidance my friend. Using one’s voice to heal instead of lashing out.. Hit me like a bag of sledgehammers with this one. The letter format was a cool choice that fit the vibe and your musical accompaniment is precise. Below is the part that struck a chord inside me. Amazing read/listen as always. Thanks for sharing your story.. Appreciate you, Sis.

“your voice is your strongest weapon

I know the urge will be to finally lash out

don’t

use it to heal…

to share how you feel…

you’re not alone

trust me…

I know

with all my love…

me”

I love this! Writing letters to ourselves is the most authentic poetry in my opinion.
Sometimes we write to find others who can relate but sometimes it’s meant for ourselves – to find our own sense of inner peace, self worth, all of it.
Again, I love this.
Keep on keeping on chica:)

Ten out of ten

This is so good. I mean,,,I love the flow of it

Beautifully penned, Mark. Another excellent write with clever wordplay and outstanding storytelling my friend. I concur with Fia, it has a rhythm and a flow to it. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you.

Damian

Talk about manifesting…this is a solid BOOM in the way of rhythm, movement, and expression. And here y’all are now…still living that hoped for day. 😊

I was smiling so much reading this that my heart ached!
You are everything I hoped you’d be plus more.
I also remember this picture! You used it on DUP too!

How blessed I feel at this moment, so many years later.
Remembering all the darkest of nights
and the glow of every early morning
Together bound in a discovery of words
Describing how you completely loved me:)

Love you!!

Thank you Tim. I don’t mess with rhyming ones much anymore. But when I do, I want them to be as good as I can make them. I appreciate it when someone lets me know that the efforts are worth it.

A fire of feeling. Great write.
Regards
James

Thank you James. I do enjoy creative writing, and hopefully it shows in my results. As the same for you, quality in your words as well.

This is so cool. I enjoyed this.

Thank you Willow for mentioning me and other regulars in this delightful piece.
Made me feel like part of a learned,diverse and decent community.
💋

Hi Willow! I love how this opens and how you see all of us here on the site.
It was a nice reminder for me since I’ve been locked away for the past year writing.
Plus another reminder of where my writing flourished.
It was beside you and everyone you mentioned plus a few others:)
I wish I was on more but please know you and everyone here are always in my thoughts.
You also made Mark’s morning! I got a text telling me about this write!!
Thank you for such a lovely description:)
Right back at ya chica. You are magnificent!

Awwwww! It’s always nice to be acknowledged for some good that we do. And yeah, me and Del may be lovebirds, but we love to write as well.
This is such a snazzy write! I do like the community aspect of the place, for those who actually take part! Like you!

Amazingly penned, Willow. Wow.. You’ve written an anthem for the site, and a soundtrack for this community of writers that aren’t afraid to wield their pens and share their journeys. Walking these halls is an honor, and I’m grateful for this community and our creative family that gathers around the bonfire from time to time. Excellent lyrics and an amazing musical arrangement as always. I’m assuming this one goes on the “Bonfire” album? You know I want this one.. Appreciate you, Sis.

Damian

OMG… thank you Willow.. I didn’t know I can light fires… well, maybe little ones… but I am honored to be part of this amazing group. Don’t worry I will try to keep an eye on you.. well, especially you …

The Sheriff will always live! We had some good years…and they ain’t done yet! 🙌

6 million dollars and dirty sex. Well, isn’t that close to Zuck kind of money. lol

“i don’t want to be a Musk or Zuck
i’m not trying to be an evil fuck”…lol good one 😁👍
Enjoyed this one too ✨
