    • Brenda, I cannot imagine the pain you’re going through. Losing a parent is nothing compared to losing a child. My heart and prayers with you. You can do him justice now for holding onto all the memories and writing about them. I hope that helps a lil’.

    • Comes off to me as someone fighting depression. Finding away to move forward. Or maybe that’s just me hehe.

      Great ink

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I’m sure depression is one of the crucial ingredients in the mix. Appreciate you.

    • Life is hard because of those rich fucks in Washington. Great piece. Well said!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. They sure as hell don’t help matters. Appreciate you.

    • Fantastic work. Powerful.

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Angel. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Thanks for your continued support. Appreciate you.

    • Omg, there are so many layers to this one. I read the comments above mine & saw where each came from. This one is a head tilted, brain-teaser. I see isolation, slight inspiration skirting around the edges, darkness peering though & the inevitability of death. I haven’t figured out an improvisation for that one yet. My daughter has decreed I’m not allowed to die though. Not sure that’s gonna workout for her but she says “that’s a you problem, figure it out.” If you know a cheat code on that, I’d be grateful if you’d share, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I think you’re pretty much spot on in your analysis, there are multiple elements in there for sure. Usually is in my writes. lol. I don’t know a cheat code, I don’t think there is one. Appreciate you.

    • Seems like a cool person. I can relate a lot to the guy. I am more into music than books and poetry. Also reminds me of all the great poets I came across through the years. How I admired them and miss many of them.

      Great interview.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you enjoyed the interview my friend. He’s a very cool person, hopefully he might show up someday. That door is always open. Thanks so much for your continued support. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Great piece Damian. Your a talent my friend. Is Pete aware of this site?

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you enjoyed the interview my friend. He’s aware, I think his profile is set up here, he’s just taking some time away. Which I understand. I took over two years away from writing. Thanks for your continued support my friend. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I enjoyed this this Damian. I hope he gets to see this interview.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you enjoyed the interview my friend. I hope he sees it too. I miss him a lot. Thanks so much for your continued support my friend. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I miss his rapid-fire style & quick (sneaky) wit. Wherever he is now, I hope he’s blowing people’s minds & being properly appreciated. Sigh…

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. I’m sure he is, he is a talent and a gentleman, and it is a sneaky wit. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. I miss him too, he is a talent and a gentleman, I keep hoping he shows up as well. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • Wait, you’re saying Pete is missing? Damn. John Lennon was one of the all-time greatest lyricists ever. It’s so cool that Pete comes from Liverpool.

      A lot of guys don’t like taking Propranolol regularly. It’s not a friendly drug for the bedroom, if you get my drift. Works good for hypertension and tachycardia, though.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Meg. So glad you enjoyed the interview my friend. Well, not literally. lol. He’s taking a break after the closing of DU. Lennon was an incredible lyricist, the Liverpool part was really cool. He was a gifted writer with a distinct style, and a true gentleman. Unfortunately, they all have some kinda effect. I get your drift though, my bat is still effective when I’m at the plate. lol. Appreciate you.

    • Powerfully penned, Brenda. Pulls at these old heartstrings my friend, thanks for sharing. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • Look back but always step forward. This was inspirational, Brenda. Thank you.

      • hello dearest Daniel thank you for the love on this I was feeling stuck so I wrote about it I’m going to keep pushing forward 💕💕

    • I’ve been telling myself the past is not a destination. But it is a guidepost. Despite memory & fear, there’s nothing waiting there. Just an empty space of was-ness. The step forward can be terrifying though

      • hello beautiful Willow I can’t help but retrace my steps thank you for your understanding heart yes it is scary I’m doing my best though I deeply appreciate you bein here 💕

    Good evening, I’m Damian DeadLove. Breaking news, folks. No, not that depressing propaganda that has infiltrated the world. I’m talking about SpotLight coming to Stars Rite. It started from humble beginnings on DUP, but then turned into a powder keg...

    • Whoa!!!!…Lookin forward to the execution
      from this collab!!!

      Let’s go!!

    • LOL, Damian, it would have been a blast, but it would definitely need an act of Congress to pull that together. Obviously my mind would have went sideways and took us down and erotic rabbit hole.
      I cannot wait for the new Spotlight.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the story my friend. It would have been fun, but difficult as well. So it’s a bucket list item, maybe life will slow down someday and we’ll attempt it. I would expect you to take us down that rabbit hole. lol. I can’t wait to do a new SpotLight as well. But for now it’s the classic episodes. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Love this!! When I was a kid I wanted to be a meteorologist. How did you know? Nice storytelling here.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you enjoyed the story my friend. It was a lucky guess, unless you’re just fooling. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I just can’t even imagine…

      But I’m looking forward to seeing the July featured poet! 🙌

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you enjoyed the story my friend. I knew you’d be ready for a new SpotLight. lol. Appreciate you.
