So much disconnect fuels everyday frustration”

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mark. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I’ve been rhyming for so long as a writer that it’s become muscle memory. I don’t write many free verse poems because no more than I pen a couple of stanza’s I’ve already started rhyming without even thinking about it. lol. By that time I like what I got already, so why go back and take out the rhymes and lose the plot. I don’t count syllables because I’m too lazy for one thing and I always write while listening to music, so I guess I’m following the drummer. Or my wife thinks I follow my heartbeat which I guess could be the case, since I have wrote without listening to tunes it’s just not very often. Appreciate you.

I bet you feel so much better now this is out here and presumably doing the rounds .. well penned my literary friend .. Neville

I think it’s funny how everyone (including me) noticed the perfect rhyme schemes.

Favorite lines: Everyone’s got a story what’s yours?

He’s unable to read between the lines

Looking different behind closed doors

She’s left all alone where hatred dines

Jealousy can tear two people apart as easy as a bird tears the limbs of a mouse.

Another fine poem, Damian.

There is so much in this one, and too many amazing lines to quote. This is a masterpiece in subtle storytelling, if one pays attention. That question of what’s your story carries a lot more weight than meets the casual eye. Because how do you answer that? My sweetie always says “Be more specific? I could answer from a dozen different angles, all truth, and still not answer what you’re asking.” Another incredible piece, my friend

That opening line is an attention grabber.
I’m loving these with the couplets and rhyme scheme.
Excellent work sir.

Passionately penned, Fia. Another excellent write that’s fire my friend. This one wasn’t for the tame of heart.. Nicely done as always. Appreciate you, Cuz.
