    ~———————————•§•———————————~

    I had planned to teach this session on Meter, or more specifically “Poetic Meter”, which entails getting into some rather complex technical issues.
    But, since we’ve been rather saturated with technicalities of late…Read More

    • Powerfully penned, Brenda. Loss is tough my friend, a very heartfelt write. Grief is sometimes like pacing in circles wondering if one did enough, and praying that our beloved know how much they were loved. Prayers and positive energy sent your way, thanks for sharing something so private. Appreciate you.

      • hello dearest Damian thank you my friend I don’t why but I struggled with the reply all of you being so tender hearted thank you dear soul ❤️

    • Brenda this piece was just lovely.
      Your sadness is palpable in the words and the spaces between them.
      Sometimes I wonder what the point of life is…..I haven’t come up with an answer yet.
      🙏🙏🙏🙏💋

      • hello dearest Benny he was so full of life in such a hurry even as a child to greet the world I actually tried to keep him home with me but he had a spirit of adventure thank you my friend ❤️

    • This is incredibly sad! Your honest, very well expressed self-reflections strike right at the heart of your readers. I can feel the ink bleeding from your heart! A big heart felt hug of love and positives energy! 🫂🙏

    • Thank You for being his Mom🤍 He chose You to be His Mom🤍. I can’t imagine the pain of losing a child… it’s for sure unbearable, it is, the only comfort is to remember that his soul is near, He is near, if You can’t see him it doesn’t mean that it is not true. You are strong to express your pain sincerely like this, but please please please… Don’t dwell in gulit, it’s not your fault or his, as I’ve said in my first sentences. HE chose You to be his Mom and Thank You for being his 🤍 always remember this, always and ever!

      Sending You warm hugs strong beautiful Mother💓

      • hello lovely light your comment made me cry I wonder if he chose because he thought he could help he was so enigmatic such a force I love your thoughts and I miss him very much thank you kind soul ❤️

        • The reason why He chose You and You chose him maybe a mystery till now, but it doesn’t matter, let it be and come clear if it will ever be. I’m really sorry for your loss, may His soul be near You surrounding You with comfort, warmth and solace 🙏🏻

    • I can’t add to that which has already been written. Death is just borrowing him for a moment. Your heart will probably never mend, but will pulse strong in your memories.

      • hello dearest Rob yes it was all too short from the time he was born untill he died I hope he knows how much I miss him thank you dear friend ❤️

        It’s a pleasure to compose and share with those who appreciate my earnest efforts.
        Your praise and inspiringly gracious comments mean so very much to an olde bard’s hopes.

        Many blessings, Syr! ⁓ Richard🖌

    • I love the use of the Sun and Moon. As I see the Sun as male and Moon female and the Sky as two hands clasp together in a cushioned security. As they come together life begins in warmth. Then as they part you get a sense it is not ending just a new longing.
      I enjoyed this.

      • Thank you Lady Fia 🌺🐝

        Your expressed warmth, appreciation, understanding, and enjoyment of my humble efforts make sharing with you feel so very worthwhile and rewarding.

        You’re a most wonderful reviewer … thank you again, Fia ⁓ Richard🖌

    • shit…this is gorgeous. sky. sun. moon. fate. all narrowed down to that one word…longin. hits ya right in the gut.

      • With sincere thanks, Dru 🍷

        Creating these Concrete pieces can be a challenge, but enjoyable and quite satisfying in the end … especially, when they turn out so nicely formed.

        You should try one! ⁓ Richard🖌

    • Beautifully penned, Rascal. You’re a gifted writer my friend, and your passion to teach is an excellent attribute. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

        It’s truly a pleasure sharing my enjoyable efforts with you, Syr.
        Thank you again! ⁓ Richard🖌

    • It’s always a pleasure not only to read your master poetry but to enjoy your original forms also, to begin with the photo how it fits perfectly the ambiance, it’s alive and the breaking and sadness are felt from it, and again your life wisdom shines through your words, the turn at the end is sudden, I think this is how a heart breaks, sudden with no expectations, and that’s what your poem worded and shaped, for me this could turn into a beautiful sonnet considering the theme, the unfolding events of and the sudden change.

      • Hello, Dear Sonnet 🎶

        Sitting here taking in the graciously brilliant soul breaths of your each living word, I could not help but travel back into our many years and unforgettable memories, to those moments we first met and began sharing poetry on so many different writing sites … and, all that has transpired between us that made an everlasting friendship and bond ⁓ like no other.

        How I so deeply cherish recounting every nuance life took us through together, until (as it often does), when moment-by-moment we drifted, not really apart, yet, off into further callings and kismets that take hearts, souls, and minds down many paths t’ward eventual completion of existence off this mortal realm to we are eventually drawn. Ohhh, but how exciting our wondrous travails and blessings have been ⁓ together and apart.

        Tho’, as I read through and felt your enthrallingly glowing, intelligently gentle, caring, appreciative, and graciously inspiring words in review for this uniquely rendered poem, I realized how bonded we truly were, are, and (hopefully) shall always be, through eternity. Differently? Yes! You as YOU, I as I can only be … yet, bonded by something, almost spiritual, respectful, and intrinsically blessed … beyond the limitation of words.

        I’ve often marvelled at the insights you so vividly express about me and my poetry. It’s, almost, as if the moment I exhaled you inhaled, absorbing the sheer wispy essence of my poetic soul … one of the beautiful aspects of your being I’ve always marvelled at, adored, and loved.

        Hmmm? Seems I’ve been needing to share with someone I know will understand, eh?
        Ever-so thankfully, I bow to thee, Lady Ghounwah ⁓ Richard🖌

        • “who am I to know God’s plan?”. If we surrender to this things would be much better and smoother, but human nature seeks control and with controling comes resistance, and all of this lead to nothing but trauma and unnecessary pain before we even realize it. Of course someone like You with all the wisdom He has knows all of this already and accepts life and everything as it is, One of the things which I really admire about You, and I think You’ve praised abilities more than I deserve, yet I’m honoured to receive them from You.

          I guess I do understand, sometimes understanding is all what we can do.

          May happiness, peace and poetry fill your days and heart✨🙏🏻✨

          • Ahhh⁓💫

            There’s nothing like receiving the soft, beautiful whispers of your wondrously gifted voice to turn the all of me into a warmly blessed smile.

            I, too, wish the very same gracious sentiments of poetic happiness for You, Dear Ghounwah.
            Namaskar🙏 as always! ⁓ Richard🌾
