    • Elke! What a tribute to a guy that deserves it! Damn good poem and funny. Damian does rock!

    • Beautifully penned, Elke. Into the book it belongs! Clever write my friend, I dig this. Thank you! I’m not one for typical critique that’s for sure. But what I am is supportive to those in this community who share their craft to tell their story about their journey in this life. It’s not always easy to tell certain stories in my life, but sometimes it’s needed therapy. I try to look through that same lens when my fellow poets and poetesses share their stories. I want everyone to feel encouraged to write and to feel that someone out there is listening/reading their work. Most of all I want them to know that they’re never alone. Appreciate you, Elke.

        I’ve noticed that for many people it is easier to criticize than to offer praise and recognition. That is not only sad, it also contributes to keeping our whole planet on a lower level of energy. Every word we speak and even every thought we have influence the way the earth develops. The negative energy of envy, hatred or greed results in more acts of violence. People like you my friend, are healers of the whole system. It’s not only about important political decisions, most of all it’s about the little acts of loving kindness each and every one of us can perform to make this world a better place. Thank you I myself have a penchant for the dark, morbid, and sarcastic side of writing., dear Damien! May your attitude be contagious!

    • This is so perfect. Elke. I agree we should do the Damian

  • Is it worth it to try and publish a small book of my poems or should I just keep writing for me and this group? I hear its easy but also hard and that it costs a lot of money, which I’m not trying to spend.
