    There’s a poem that will remain unfinished;its shadow willdrip ribbons of blood.Her imagination was forcefully executedthrough brazen authorityand the bursting ballad of bullets.The verses posted will replace her;will replace her voice;will have to, now.It's one less poet for mankind,one...

    • Powerfully penned, Tim. Excellent tribute my friend. It’s a tragedy indeed, sometimes I don’t recognize the world anymore. Appreciate you.

    • Silencing beauty is one of mankind’s (and I use that term loosely here) gravest mistakes. We need beauty to get through what comes

    • This is the kind of poem that doesn’t ask permission—it reports from the wreckage. “A poem that will remain unfinished” is a brutal, honest truth, and the blood imagery isn’t sensational, it’s earned. I like how you refuse comfort here—no soft landing, no false resolve. The idea that the poems must replace her voice because they have to is devastating. This reads like a witness statement, not a performance. Necessary, angry, and painfully clear.

      • Thank you very much for the detailed comment, Thomas. Much appreciated.

    • This one hits hard. I’ve watched that video over and over again.
      I saw another where an agent told a protester, “If you raise your voice I will erase your voice”…while I’m thinking, then the thunder of the masses will drown him if he does that. I can’t wait for the trials and all the video evidence.
      We will say their names forever so they are never forgotten.

    I jut out from the long black seama shiny thing, unlike any other in the shaft.Just a speck of brightness,a stark contrastin the endless darkness.I know I'm different.Always have been.The black seam dominates everything down herewith its drab, dour,...

    She said,rockabye my baby,don't you cry.She worked hard by the waters as time fly.When her baby was sad or upset. She sang lullabies and felt no regret.This is for the single moms out in the world.So she was asked,how are...

    • Being a single parent is not easy because there is no one you can ask for help sometimes. I like that you were inspired by a song.

    • Happy Birthday, dear Fia! 💐♥️
      Thank you for reminding us to undertake the journey through life mindfully, with your beauti- and meaningful poem! I think we all have signed up for the positive and for the hard experiences, too. Especially the hardships, when we have to leave our comfort zone, teach us the most important lessons. May you master the learning tasks the new year of your life presents you, with ease, and welcome the good times gratefully, full of joy and happiness!
      Blessings of love and light! 💕🕯️

    • Happy Birthday Fia. Many more xox

    • A furiously uplifting read.
      Regards James

    • Happy belated birthday, Fia. 🎂🍨

    • Chère F.,
      Too late to be fashionably late, this must come across as downright lazy. It’s not intended this way. If still OK: congratulations to you! In the Netherlands we kiss three times on the cheek. Be prepared for this. 50% more at no extra cost!!!

      I used to be in the category of ignoring my birthday, but a beautiful friend on Hawaii taught me to celebrate the day of ‘another time around the sun‘ as they call it there. ANd since then I do, celebrate it in a small way.

      So I’ll try and be present in time next year!
      Warm regards, Gus

      • I agree with the person in Hawaii 1 more time around the sun. Oh 50% more? Here for that. lol Thank you Gus

    • ✨”HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LADY FIA!”✨

      Happy Birthday to ya, Dear One,
      may you celebrate in style
      and on this day of honor, too,
      here’s a warming birthday smile.

      May your day be very joyous,
      one you soon will not forget,
      filled with loving camaraderie,
      not one misfortune to regret.

      May the sun rise bright today
      to shine across your lovely face,
      may all life surround you gaily
      in friendship’s warm embrace.

      Here’s a cheerful toast to you 🥂
      the lady held in high esteem;
      may your heart be ever-warmed,
      and your birthday ~ like a dream.

      “HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR FIA!”
      With much poetic love! ⁓ Richard 💕

      So beautiful, your sentiments ⁓ just like You … unselfish, giving, and warmly gracious!
