chèr D.,
Amen to that.
I’ll be back tomorrow to read it again.

Kind regards, Gus

Your wallop of a write had me nodding in agreement. So many truths are nestled in every line. Love will indeed live forever! Outstanding write, my friend.

Clay

Well said. No body is promised tomorrow.

That last stanza sends this one home. Wonderful piece Damian.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, H. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Thank you for sharing that wonderful vision with me, I like the lens you’re looking through. Appreciate you.

” Shadows on the wall are growing

Coming to poison what God built ”

Those words were written with a hammer and chisel.

Dope overall vibe
Diggin the positive outro, brother…

Much respect

Sigh…where to start? I agree with Naaj up there. 👆 Those lines are definitely carved in granite. There’s a loss of humanity occurring on so many levels today. AI is replacing human labor, taking human paychecks and means of living. But AI does what man tells it. It’s not out there knocking on doors and handing out resumes. It’s the greed of man dehumanizing their fellows that’s doing the damage. The fact that we have a deranged overstuffed cheese puff feeding frenzy to his blind acolytes speaks volumes for the state of man’s moral compass right now. Every decision they’re making is destructive…to the earth (our host) and to its guests (us and wildlife). Yeah, I got rolling but this one took me to so many places. Keep carving those lines, my friend, and I’m sure I’ll keep ranting

Passionately penned, Brenda. Amazing write my friend. Appreciate you.

Damian

Warm sexy and intimate…..a smooth elixir no doubt

Much respect

This is a wonderful, intimate and tender poem , dear Crimsin! The imagery is amazing and cleverly chosen!

Lovely Brenda. This is delicate and heartwarming. Hope you had a great holiday my friend..xo

…an oasis of dreams. Fantastic, Brenda!

Sensual, symbolic, and steeped in metaphor—this feels like desire rendered as prayer.

Powerfully penned, Brenda. A very introspective write my friend. Thanks so much for sharing. Appreciate you.

Damian

This is so sweet I am sure they are going to love this.

Hahaha. This is brilliant my friend.
Where would we be without being inspired!
It just feels so good when we catch it, you know, that special feeling to grab our pens like wands and connect it to paper.
This write has my brain firing on all cylinders amigo!
Thanks for the blood/love rush!
I am honored:)

And Honoria is one of my favorite human beings.
You have me in great company!

Dude, I’m at a loss with what to say. Yes, that happens. Lol
As I said the other day, I have an online friend for over 25 years now, because of creative writing. We all may write alone, but we revel in it in little groups.
Saturday I went day-drinking at the VFW with some other veterans. It’s been awhile and they let me know that I was missed.
An online site has much the same sentiment. it lets you know that you do matter, even a little bit. So thank you, Rob. It’s mutual.
Who knew back then that me and that punk Del would become a couple! LOL (yes, we call each other punk a lot).
A side bonus of it all is that we both got to see how “real” the other was. No fake persona, no BS. We are what we write.
I do try to be sincere and I suppose Del is validation of that.
Happy New Year, Rob. ’26 is an open world of opportunity. Snatch it by it’s hair! lol
