I think we’re all thankful you’re here, Fia. I always try to comment on other poems when I can. That’s what makes this a community.

Hoi hoi
I love it a lot how you care for us. And thank you so much for that.

But am I (being?) out of place when I ask for you to take more time to write goodies for yourself?

Think of the stewardess in a plane. They point out to first put that mask over your face and after that tend to other people.
I honestly believe the stewardess’ filosophy. And I hope that I can convince you to become a believer too. Wink wink.

Please don’t forget yourself.
Warm regards, Gus

I bow to you with gratitude for your tireless dedication to our community, dear Fia!
For many of us writing is an invaluable contribution to maintaining mental balance. Pouring out your heart in a poem or a story brings great relief and satisfaction.
I appreciate very much that you cover all topics with your writing. Literature must not be restricted in its freedom of expression!
Once again, thousands of thanks for all your efforts and your marvelous poetry, my friend!

With gratitude and appreciation, I thank you for all that you do and are, Fia. Fearless and honest, your writing inspires us to share parts of ourselves we might otherwise shove aside, forgotten. Thank you, my friend!

Due to my feral childhood, manners were late being learned. So now I’m a relic from another time who opens doors for people and always says please and thank you. As it applies to writing, I always appreciate it when someone takes the time to read and comment on my work, and will always thank them. Your fine poem is much food for thought, and I embrace every word.

Peace to you Fia. You’ve been the core of this site. Your determination, passion and love for poetry, writing and the community here, does not go unnoticed. Keep up the great work you’ve done here on starsrite.

That’s how I feel. Poetry is our voice. So many people don’t use that voice or give it up. I know it can get discouraging but it can help someone. Also it just feels good to get those feelings out regardless of subject.

Wonderful write.

If I could add this to a reading list, it would be at the top. Beautiful…

hello dearest Benny good afternoon this is a morbid thought but I live in the country and while outside the flies were driving me nuts and it occurred to me we were walking carcasses and the little bastard was looking for a way in while I was yet living… what happens at a funeral you are right I just hope by then I am onto better things this is a great write ❤️

I was tasked with doing several military funerals back in my Army days. It is extremely somber. And, the occasional one after the military years. I’ve always tried to think of it as a celebration of their life. Sometimes it’s how we get through such things.
Your write is a really good “on point” of how it can play out. And how you built the scenario earlier.
Who knows, man, who knows. best we enjoy it while we can.

Powerful piece my friend. The wording and the flow of this poem gives me a chill and makes me think of my very own existence. Marvelous write Benny.

Thank you so much! It means the world to me. Truly. 💕

Very cool! Hey we like you via your writes! You have a lot going on in your head, so therefore you are not boring right? LOL
I like how you search for what works for you, creativity wise. It reads well as a poem, and then the boom as a song.
This is great stuff.

Truly enjoyed the read then when I reached the bottom and pushed play, it completely elevates your write. Honestly, I enjoy reading first and thinking about how it will sound when I push play
at the bottom. It’s like the music aspect is desert after the meal/read lol
Hope that makes sense.
Keep killing it!

hello dearest Drieks we need hope and no one likes me don’t feel bad…it doesn’t matter what circle I’m in I don’t fit one on one I do great in groups not at all… ps I like you I just have failed to comment much of late… this write you should be proud of ❤️

“I’m the echo in a room that never speaks
Nobody likes me
Because there’s nobody like me
I’m the secret even silence couldn’t keep.”

Powerfully penned, Drieks. Excellent lyrics per usual my friend. That chorus above, next level wordplay! Once again your arrangement highlights your words. Appreciate you.

Oh, my god this is so good! I just played this so my wife could hear you again (and me) and it is just phenomenal! And what an incredible voice! Give her some love, girl. Plus the music and arrangement, everything is top notch!
