Thanks Damian and PG….it’s a long day without a cup of tea, so get in early.No.matter what my mood a piping hot cuppa moves it for a while.
I guess so does bourbon but not at six on the morning.

Hoi hoi Peter,
That’s a qualitea poem. Hats off.
Love it a lot. Leave it up to me to murder your language.

If you are American: Thank you!
In all other cases: keep ‘em coming, please.

Kind regards, Gus

Tragic, painful, sadness. This poem has so much hurt but brilliantly written Brenda. Great!

Powerfully penned, Brenda. This one tugs at the heartstrings my friend. I can feel the hurt in your words. Thanks for sharing. Appreciate you.

With lost things can never be the same, but you can still move forward. Sad piece Lady

The last stanza is brilliant. Love it and the poem. Great work!

Brilliantly penned, Thomas. Preach my brother, preach! You nailed this out of the park. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

Damian

Awesome.
Indeed, it’s that little angel/demon upon our shoulder, compelling us to write something, anything, to relieve the pressure of wanting to say something to the void. Life?Love?Pain?Loss? All of it.
Your write is terrific. I think we all write “for ourselves”. yet to have someone acknowledge our words does mean a lot. It makes us feel like it does matter, after all.

Excellent ink & Not a single drop wasted .. Neville 😎👍

Thank you, my friend.

Yep. That’s just the way it is. We create because that’s how we deal with the world.

That last stanza…is everything. It’s never about accolades. It’s because we must. Damn…

So true.

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.

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