    • hello beautiful Willow for let me say this is a powerful message with a great flow I am also sad about these things I don’t know what the answer is…I hate how people are treated I have skin ailment and can’t even get a refferal to a dermatologist because my primary says so… I hate how animals are treated it all makes me ill… what counts as compassion in this life it’s like a very painful soul ache to look around and think how can I change it… great write ❤️

      • I actually cut myself off with this one. There were so many more things I wanted to say. But they’re not listening anyway. I’m sorry you’re dealing with insurance issues. I am as well, so I can relate. Thank you, Brenda 🧡

    • Sing it you beautiful powerful woman!!

    • This is a great screw it list touching on so many hot topics, great piece Lady

    • Now this has me agreeing with it. What happened to save the trees, polar ice caps, the aquatic life, or us, damn it?

    • Powerfully penned, Willow. Into the book it belongs! Excellent write with a message that needs to be heard, which in fact should be screamed from the rafters in every corner of the world. Amazing work per usual. This is next level good. Appreciate you.

      • This one blasted out of me in one evening after unsettling personal news. I had to force myself to stop. But the release felt good. It just keeps building. They never stop. Thank you, my friend 🧡

    • Wow! What a powerful message, screamed at the whole humankind, especially at those who still believe that no damage towards the planet and our fellow humans had been done. I haven’t heard such an impressive and sadly urgently needed wake up call since a long time! Brilliant work, dear Willow!

      • I think what makes me saddest is that most of them actually know what’s being done. They just don’t care because it would affect their wallets and money is more important to them than compassion. There are a lot of us screaming, they’re not listening. They just hit mute or change the channel. Thank you, Elke 🧡

    • Superb work. Excellent.

    • FUCK YEAH! Oh, fuck fuck fuck fucking Yeah, Willow. You need a big FUCK! for all of them, Willow. But there just aren’t enough fucks for all the FUCKS in the world ’cause they keep making more FUCKS who keep fucking things up! So FUCK THOSE FUCKING FUCKS!

      Fucking right!
      nice

      aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand said with love

      • Yeah, that word has become a constant from me lately. I wrote this one after unsettling personal news and then spent the next 15 minutes just repeating fuck. What they’re doing – while it inspires some powerful poetry and protests – is beneath contemptible. They don’t stop either. I don’t believe I will live long enough to see the damage done just in this one year reversed. I’m not sure my daughter will even live to see that day. It’s unbelievable. Selfish, racist, sexist fucks. Thank you so much for feeling this as I did 🧡

    • Chère W.,
      Your list and mine are almost identical.
      At least my family didn’t tell me to shut up, but the in laws did.

      My car’s a vegan car. And many more people will follow as soon as it dawns on them that there is money to be made in doing the right things for a change.
      All my thumbs and kudos for you.

      Yes, please also listen to Sappho/Elke’s Point of no return in audio and podcasts or some such thing. You’ll find your way, don’t rely entirely on the words of a dyslect.

      Warm waives and regards, Gus

      • I wish my drafts weren’t so full of frustrated rants about the state of the world. But if I didn’t give them voice, I’d implode. It just never stops. I will definitely make my way to Elke’s piece. Thank you for your words and the nudge in her direction

    • I’m with you on every point. Someway, somehow, the good, honest, and caring of this world must overcome the evil wave that now confronts us.

      • The tide will turn. It will take a long time, but once it’s rolling, there’s no stopping it. Meanwhile, big mouth me will keep shouting from the rooftop about it. Thank you so much

    • Passionately penned, Willow. Excellent write my friend, this had a little R&B sass to it. Dig it. Nice arrangement with the rhythm section driving the vehicle as an accompaniment to these bars you’re slinging. It’s Fire!! Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Interesting you use the word sass…my nickname as a child was Sassy. Guess it never faded. Thank you, my friend 😊

    • WHOA!!! Willow, this is 100% passionate, sensual… sexy!!
      Love this line: “fire infused and filled with intention”. I swear, as I read this line, I could feel Heat spreading out from the computer screen and melted my keyboard. WTH, now I have bandaged fingertips…😎 now where did I put that fire extinguisher??!! Loved the music and singing.. I give it 100 snaps, 10 Hell Yeses, and sway the hips danceable!

      Curt

      • Well damn! That’s a lot! Much appreciated! I don’t have a fire extinguisher but Volupta routinely had me hitting the cold shower with her erotica. So I get it! Thank you, Curt 😊

    • I read this without the music, then listened to it. Both ways show the heat you were trying to convey. I love the part where you say he loves your mind. It’s a potent thing.

      • According to him, my body is banging but without my mind, it’s just anatomy. He never leaves me questioning my value in the space of us. Thank you, Fia 😊

    • A great piece of dedication and spiciness, tight one Lady

    • Full of passion and power. Tremendous work.

    • Brilliant work. Powerful.

    More than Skin Deep

    they tell her all the time"you're so pretty"she smiles with a little sighand thanks them politely but she was raised to rememberflesh is only the outer layerwhat matters is the insidehow she treats othershow she behavesand what she does with her...

    • A great piece, this is great advice for both males and females. Tight

      • I believe it would be great for both. I only experience this world through the eyes of a woman though. So she was raised to be the fiercest woman she could in a world that often only sees our outer package

    • Wonderful write! Reminds me of my daughter, too. They are miraculous, aren’t they?
      ❤️k

      • I’m constantly flabbergasted that she was raised by me. They are incredible indeed!

    • Beautifully penned, Willow. In the book it belongs! Excellent tribute to your daughter, such a powerful message my friend. Amazing arrangement that fit the power of the meaning. Amazing work. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • She’s on an upswing now but the pandemic took the wind out of her sails. As a fellow Pisces, you know the fluidity of y’all’s fierce nature. She will rock the world. Thank you, my friend

    • hello beautiful Willow you did beautiful job raising and guiding such a spirit ❤️

      • I did the best I could. I just wanted her to be strong in her sense of self. I never was and it took a toll. Thank you, Brenda 🧡

    • This is so heartfelt since I have 2 girls myself. Love what you wrote about your daughter.

      • Given the right encouragement, girls are incredible forces to contend with. Thank you, Fia

    • I have witnessed this. To pay close attention to another’s entire being is to be rewarded with infinite wonders and friendships.
      Your poem is so thoughtful and tender while bearing a harsh truth.
      🙏💚

      • It’s aggravating for her to have thoughts and not be heard because they’re focused on the wrong things. Some would say it’s their loss, but its hers too. And mine. And every woman summed up by her physical attributes. Thank you, Jim

    • Awesome awareness of her value. It is old news, that our looks will fade and our health will wane, so what we have of value on the inside is what will sustain us. That fortitude to be a decent human even if surrounded by “less”. it is our shine, our aura, that will never fade. Sounds like she has hers intact, probably many thanks to you, dear Willow.

      • She’s a force to be reckoned with. There’s not much I’ve done that I’m super proud of, but raising her is top of the list. And to be honest, she teaches me now. Full circle. Thank you, Styxian

    • Her pedigree of character and consciousness has never fallen
      far from the Tree that bore the amazing fruit she has blossomed into

      Much respect always

      Naaj

      • I have my Roots to thank for setting an example that I was honored to teach her. It always comes back to the roots. Thank you, Naaj

    • This is an awesome tribute to your daughter, dear Willow! You raised her in the light of the only true values that matter – sustainable values of love, peace and understanding. You must be very proud of your daughter. She is really beautiful, she has a beautiful soul!

      • She is my rock, my shining star, my inspiration and my greatest joy. I am indeed very proud of her! Thank you, Elke

    • Excellent .. I just know for sure you are both so very lucky .. just being and having each other .. write on Willow 😎🌻👍

      • For a long time all we had was each other. I chose to be her mother first, not a buddy. Now I have a best friend. She’s forbidden me to die. We’ll see how that goes… Thank you, Neville

    • I only raised her so far…and the rest is her own indomitable spirit. She speaks, I listen. I am amused how often we say the same thing at the same time. She used to roll her eyes. Now she just laughs. I guess there are worse things than thinking like her mother. Thank you, girl
