fucking shit…. I left for a few weeks now you want me dead… ok im leaving

Um…duly noted. Definitely destruction incarnate

This is rather unsettling knowing the devastation that’s so common these days with active shooters. Very scary.

Powerfully penned, Fia. This is a change of pace my friend, you always prove there is no subject you can’t tame. It’s too close to call, you both delivered amazing writes. Appreciate you.

Damian

You nailed this one. No doubt about it. The kind of write that pulls you along in an inexorable tide of power and rhyme. I keep envisioning cement shoes while reading 😁

Powerfully penned, Willow. The musical arrangement is an excellent accompaniment to your words. Excellent composition my friend. Appreciate you.

Damian

The music works well with your words. Most excellent, my friend 🌼

damn. excellent write

Right back at ya, girl 🧡

Thank you 😊

This is awesome, Willow.

Superb work.

This is like the soundtrack to a movie. Great storyline.

We live and learn and become stronger for it.

Great ink.

This made me think of my dad. He’s gone but still here in my heart, in smiles & in laughter especially. This is beautiful

We all long for a love the heart remembers at random times and whiles, as if it was new 🌼

Indeed 🌼

I’m sure it’s a quote from someone but I’m too lazy to google it right now and see but this reminded me of the sentiment, ‘those we love never truly leave us’.

This makes me think of the song “I’ll be there”, by The Escape Club.

“On the edge of a waking dream
Over Rivers
Over Streams
Through Wind and Rain
I’ll be there
Across the wide and open sky
Thousands of miles I’d fly
To be with you
I’ll be there”

Dear AJ,

Oh, you’re welcome. You know how I enjoy touching your heart especially when candy is involved. 🤭

I’m always gobsmacked by my own response when I read something that will stop and make me think how I can be better at being more generous. For me, this write had me thinking just that. Have I been generous especially with those I love? I really enjoyed the tenderness of this piece. Lovely write, as per. H🌷

This is scary but true. Nice spill here.

I cannot tell you how my stomach dropped when I saw they finally confirmed fatalities among the kids. I had so hoped there would only be injuries. I hate that this is now just reality for so many people and I hate that it feels like nothing can be done. I refuse to accept that as an answer.

I wish this wasn’t so accurate…

Tremendous work. Powerful.

Strong poem inspiring strong feelings. Wishing this weren’t happening. But wishing isn’t enough. Here in my state people can own a gun without a license even. Sickening.

John
