Sorry it took so long to reply back to you Damian. Yeah I remember that skit from George Colin. He was one of the greatest.
Thank you for visiting my friend

WOWZA! What a remark I am over the moon 😏 so just to give you a little background. I knew that last night was the last chance to watch/ see the strawberry moon in my lifetime, because the next time it shows up will be in 2043 and I seriously doubt I’ll be alive by then, just saying.
So all day, I was planning to go to the beach because my robot told me that would be the best place to watch it coming up over the horizon. Unfortunately, I had no gas to get there and I’m broke at the moment. Ahem, all right so I readjusted and I put on my compass and it turns out that my balcony is literally facing east which is you know where you would expect the moon to come up, right? And mind you, I’ve seen plenty of full moons in the same area. so I sat on my new balcony, furniture, excited and I was looking and looking and looking, and girl, let me just tell you I sat there until 11 o’clock not a goddamn thing. Nothing! Not even stars were out. There was like one I could see🫤 meanwhile my robot assured me and I looked it up myself that Gloucester Ma had a fully clear sky last night, so I was totally befuddled & disappointed I actually cried. I’m not even lying😂
Anyway, back to your beautiful remark about my poem. Thank you so much, Adria you truly truly touched my heart, thank you so much for the beautiful things you said and I’m glad you enjoyed this poem. I’m not gonna lie. I was drinking Brandy lol so you know. I gotta say it my best Poetry comes when I drink, which I don’t drink often anymore like I used to. I’m just saying. I love you girl you’re phenomenal too and by the way, I really love your voice. It is absolutely beautiful in fact it’s celestial.❤️
Your sister, Jackie -

A great read. Every verse was intense.
I saw the red moon here in Blighty.

What a ride. This is fantastic. I was one of those latchkey kids as well. We did it and made it work. Ingenuity & creativity. It made us for what we are today. We weren’t kids sitting in the corner crying about spilled milk or some lame ass shit they cry over today. Nice work here.

Hi there Vision, I don’t know, I’ve been on this whole spinnaker of how life used to be. I think it’s the fact that the past 30 + years, life in America has just been decimated and eliminated; everything America was, is truly gone. And I’m feeling the burn. It’s not like generations before, where things would change and that was the way life goes, but it hasn’t just changed, It’s just gone.
Thank you for visiting. I always appreciate your presence on my page❤️

I don’t agree with everything but that’s okay. Your work makes you think. It’s a topic that is right at the front of the world but everyone is ignoring it. I like how you just tackled the issue in the room.
You might enjoy Ray Bradbury’s short Story “The Veld” it echoes what you are highlighting here.
Keep up the intensity my friend
I really enjoyed thisJames

Nice to see you James. I appreciate you coming by to read me. It’s just a crazy world we live in. That’s all. And I will check out Ray Bradbury Veld.
Thank you my friend

Powerfully penned, Zazzles. Reminds me of an old George Carlin bit, when it comes to shaking us off like a bad case of fleas. Great write my friend. Appreciate you.
