Awesome piece dude. Sexy and passionate. Don’t get too soft on us though.

I do have few of these and I try to dip in different styles. Only I don’t post them much.
Thank you, Styxian. For the read and the comment. It means alot “)

Happy Easter Richard. This has a nice flow to it.

so beautiful dearest poet I wrote about Easter and God’s doing for Napowrio this morning great write ❤️Happy Easter…

The image of the empty tomb isn’t stark or hollow to me; it feels full, like something unseen has taken its place and filled the space with meaning. What lingers is a soft, grounded certainty that life moves forward, and that forward motion carries a quiet kind of joy. Thank you for this read. Brilliantly written, Richard.

Beautifully penned, Richard. An amazing Easter write my friend. Amen. Thanks for sharing this one. Appreciate you.

Church and state should stay separate…It’s not though. Good piece

Happy Easter dearest Poet it was really a pagan fertility rite called Ishtar…Nature is where I go to find God…this is well said ❤️

Cleverly penned, Speak. As always you deliver my friend. They should always be separate indeed, unfortunately it seems some claim didn’t get the memo. Excellent write. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

Hello Gary. I agree with your poem & statement. To the point and you always nail it! Maybe to a cross!!

I’ve always said I’d like believe but I’m to pragmatic or stubborn or I don’t like Kool Aid …

Dear PS,

I can always count on a particular dynamic in your poems that lay bare life at its core. And I always appreciate that because it’s raw and always truthful. Long live pragmatism. H🌷

Dear H,

My father was pragmatic and I guess I inherited that trait from him.
Religion is a something you grow up with or not. I had a religion but I’ve chosen to segregate the good from the allegory. The good part is spiritual and the rest for me is a pragmatic look at the people around me and what we share.

It’s so good to see you H.
I don’t come here often but every so often I need a place to put stuff.

You found me, I’m saved !!!

💕

Totally agree with your stance on religion. But it’s the relationship I see in your poem that makes me dig it. You have a way of saying a lot in a very sideways way. When you can talk religion with someone and then sit in a comfortable silence… that’s gold.
So great to read your writing.

I’m really glad to see your comment on this entry. Writing it reminded me of our DUP years. When our community would come together and you could write something like this without reprisals…

Appreciate you Red

You make me want to write more …

❤️

The last line lands in a way that makes you want to reread this again, and let it linger. This caught my breath.

This reads almost like an invocation, a chant of summoning. Much enjoyed this. As Brandon said, it invites rereading 🧡

Powerfully penned, Brenda. Excellent write with dark undertones my friend. I concur with Willow and Brandon. Amazing read. Appreciate you.
