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.

That’s what I also do. I try to transform my personal experiences and my reflections on spirituality, philosophy, politics, love and several other areas of life into literature.
I’ve noticed that for many people it is easier to criticize than to offer praise and recognition. That is not only sad, it also contributes to keeping our whole planet on a lower level of energy. Every word we speak and even every thought we have influence the way the earth develops. The negative energy of envy, hatred or greed results in more acts of violence. People like you my friend, are healers of the whole system. It’s not only about important political decisions, most of all it’s about the little acts of loving kindness each and every one of us can perform to make this world a better place. Thank you I myself have a penchant for the dark, morbid, and sarcastic side of writing., dear Damien! May your attitude be contagious!

Hoi @Rascal
Light verse has a very very special place in the hearts of the Dutch.
There was a time, Some 40 years ago, that I met THE promotor of Dutch higgeldy piggeldies/olleke bollekes every first Tuesday of the month.So i must have written hundreds of them. Most of them as part of lyrics for songs, almost all of them in Dutch.
And a few in English. One I remember where ‘sustainabiliy’ was the key word. But looking for this one is impossible.The very long and very impressive artistic life of Carole king, began with ‘O Neil’. An answersong to O Carol by Neil Sedaka.
With that in mind I decided to write an olleke bolleke to you. An answer song or thereabouts.I
Donald Trump wat is dat
Nog niet genoeg gehad
Tijd voor wat vrije tijd
Dat komt goed uitII
Wordt geen misdaad geschuwd
Naar de afgrond geduwd
Wanneer is het genoeg
B’donder de kluitWhat I like about it, is that it’s full of letters/pronounciations the English language doesn’t have.
I love your poem to pieces. Thank you for posting!
Kind regards, Gus-

Greetings, Gus 🌿
I’ve written a few Higgledy Piggledy pieces, finding them enormously entertaining to compose, if a bit fairly challenging … which I always enjoy, too!
I
Donald Trump, what is that?
Haven’t had enough yet?
Time for some free time
That works out wellII
No crime is spared
Pushed to the brink of the abyss
When is enough enough?
Damn the whole lotYeah! When pronounced, comparing my English version with your Dutch version, I see what you mean by the fuller experience, and I completely agree.
“Trump’s Bloody Stump” (in Dutch)
Rommelig en chaotisch…
onze oranje man, Donald Trump,
trapt in zijn eigen valkuil
met bizarre poses.Hij bijt zich vast in zijn eigen enkel
terwijl hij onbegrijpelijk
en dwaas
gekke uitspraken doet.Ha-HAH! Poetry is such an endless smorgasbord of creative delight!
Thanks, Gus, for sharing some of it with me! ⁓ Rascal🖌

Delightful piece in every way.Quite the opposite of the orange buffoon.
His ascent to POTUS surely must put to bed the notion of an all caring,all loving,all knowing God.

Salutations, Peter ✨
The most basic sensibilities would struggle to disagree with your well founded sentiments of our orange tinted Potus, Syr Poet … he’s emphatically that depraved!
Thanks bushels for reading and your much appreciated compliment! ⁓ Rascal🖌
