I relate to this. Lots of craziness in the world
I hate going out after dark so I don’t unless it’s absolutely necessary and not by myself
Powerful write

My current apartment in the ghetto in Buffalo, NY is safer with my living alone – than any place I lived with family. Neighbors keep an appropriate distance BUT A WATCHFUL EYE! Community is sometimes safer than family.

Such a rich and layered piece. I love how it drifts like a dream, full of texture and sensation. The imagery feels both mysterious and intimate, especially in the way it moves from silence into warmth.

This is such a deeply moving piece. You take us there & there is a breathtaking place. I’m a sucker for dew-laden grass in the mornings.

Many thank yous, Willow. You have found what I tried to say without over-stating. Is said that feet soaked in dew remain innocent for life!

I could see this printed within a book. It’s just the right amount of personal note along with staying on a creative writing avenue. It’s mature (educated) yet intoxicating.
Well crafted poetry.

I could go overboard with thanks, Styxian! I try very hard to get to the core of writing the use of my own words! I was initially a short story writer but now destined to try my hand at poetry. Not easy! Take care.

Phenomenally penned, Brenda. Incredible write my friend. Appreciate you.

Enjoy the grass;))

Don’t forget to smell the flowers!!

Ground yourself, let nature speak to you and come back with a free mind and lots of inspirations!
All the best, Tim, hope to see you soon! 🌳

Have a good break Tim. Come back refreshed.

Take care, Tim. Recharge the batteries my friend. Appreciate you.
