I had to read this twice… the first was in the dark… then I switched on the light and read it again… wow .. you always make things difficulty amazing… your writing is just just… amazing… and you make me forget words… I only remember amazing

Thank you so much for your kind comment, Sam. I have released a book book (a book that lends itself to being read in the old style by the hearth of a cosy fire, flicking pages as opposed to flicking ebook screens): Hearts & Minds written from a male perspective by Daniel Furl. Unbelievably, for me, you, us writers, I’m venturing out of my shell, selling the book (others, too) at leisure centres and village craft markets! The opening part, Trains, has railway-mad Daniel, aged 10 narrating his early life, spotting trains. It leads into Chasing Trains, mysterious and dark! The perfect fit. I’ll message you about posting the cover here, I’ll donate! Harriet-Jacqui xx

Interesting piece. Bugs and fans…😊

Powerfully penned, Bat. Another excellent write with deep layers my friend. Can’t believe I missed this one. Amazing read as always. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Appreciate you.

Willow…the words od not come to me and I am a chatter box. Amazing spill of emotions.

Powerfully penned, Willow. Another excellent write with deep layers of emotion and honest storytelling my friend. This one hits harder than a freight train. I concur with everyone above. You took this one to another level. Outstanding read as always. Appreciate you, Sis.

You can feel desperation and perseverance in every line. Simply stunning.

Thank you, Peter

Thank you, Light 💕

Excellent. Obviously I enjoy story poems the most. It’s in the way it brings the real world into something we all can sense too.
Life is like that, and so writing can be a journal of experience too. This write fills that niche really well.
You are hitting them out of the park a bunch!

This flows like a cascading waterfall.
So much power in each line that it pushes into the next.
Just wow.

A good write

An awesome write by an awesome writer, if I do say so myself! I’m happy that you decided to post something in here! You’re needed! And this isn’t really a dark write, my dear. I get more of a vibe of searching for a solution to a frustrating moment, yeah? Anyway, I love the message you carried consistently throughout the poem. It moves along fluidly and keeps the reader spellbound to the end. Well done, my love!
Hey, get some sleep!

Beautifully penned, Adel. Another excellent write with lots of layers my friend. I concur with Mark, I don’t think it’s a dark write, it does have a mysterious vibe though. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you.

Hi Gus!

It’s so wonderful to hear from you. Yes I did! Willow is a rock star so her ode gave me an extra skip in my step. Haha
I am so honored to have an Amsterdam fan base which would not be possible without you and your talent! No joke. You rock on that guitar amigo!
As for the write I had not been on for a while and decided to post something. I’ve been busy finishing the first draft of my book! So excited for the future:). Life is a true blessing.
Thanks for stopping by and for the read.
Give Amsterdam a huge hello and thank you from me!

Well hello Tim!

Thank you so much for stopping by for a comment. It’s been a while since I came on so thank you.
How have you been! Still drumming along I hope. Haha
Yes, I wanted it to have a witch doctor vibe to it.

My grandmother would always give us blessings if she knew we were having night terrors or having really horrible luck. It was her way of trying to help you. I look back at it now and realized how much power she gave her faith.
I struggle with that sometimes but other times I’ve realized it’s all you got amigo:)

Stay cool Tim!,

There’s definitely nothing dark about this one, girl. This one rolls out almost spiritually. Whether pagan calling to their priestess or spirit calling to her inner priestess…this hits beautifully. We have entered “spooky girl” season and it’s time to bring out the fun stuff indeed! I’m not much good at spooky, but maybe I can try my hand in honor of the month. 🙌

I love that you chose a positive message to write of. There is never enough of that. So thank you! And the write is well crafted, full of inspiring lines to lift the reader up. Great idea and great result, Fia.

Great thoughtful writing Fia.
💋

Powerfully penned, Fia. Another excellent write with lots of deep layers my friend. Nicely done. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you, Cuz.

This does have a positive feel to it.
You never know, sometimes acknowledging someone who’s struggling could impact their day in a positive way.
One could only hope!

I think that too often people know it’s a mask, but they want to believe it’s reality. Because having to see what makes them uncomfortable is more than they’re willing to take on. So we paste on the smile and say we’re fine, and they eagerly choose to believe it so they don’t have to acknowledge the truth. I love that the message in this is to see beyond the surface
