On the farm it was always busy busy busy. These nights were like time capsules when everyone came together in love and joy…not for work. Thank you 😊

We can relate to this piece. There was a poetess on dup that was super at these type pieces also. We don’t remember her name only that she reminisce often on earlier happier times, kinda like Styxian. We like his pieces also.

I used to write this kind of memory-based poems all the time on DU. Styxian does a fantastic job at memory journeys. Thank you 😊

They were beautifully chaotic moments filled with love and the smell of fresh popcorn…on really special occasions we made banana splits too! Farm folk…these were cherished times. Thank you 😊

Beautifully penned, Willow. Another excellent write filled with ripe nostalgia my friend. I definitely remember board games and cards and to the point that there were always amazing snacks. My dad used to make fresh Carmel Corn when we’d have a movie night. It’s the little things in those sweet memories we hold on to most. Amazing read as always. Thanks for sharing. Appreciate you.

I sometimes think farm folk and country folk have the most rich lives in terms of special moments. When everything stops so we can have these evenings, it makes them all the more precious. And my dad was a master at cheating playing Connect Four and loved Uno like nobody I know. We knew when he was about to lay some ornery on us because he’d grin like crazy and giggle. He never could have played poker. 😂 Thank you, my friend

It has to taste unsavory indeed. No one wants to be led especially them. ;))

It’s the dangers of being in a herd of hateful bullies…they always want to be the one in charge. And they’re all being played like an organ. Those with any sense of decency are stepping off that fence these days. 🤦♀️

You wrote this so well that it will apply wonderfully to other madmen after the present madmen are gone.

I sometimes wonder who is more mad…the madmen leading or the madmen supporting them? Would the leaders have risen to the top without the ones lifting them up? Aggravating in the extreme. Reasoning has left the room. Thank you, Brandon

There is wonderful quote by Bertolt Brecht that I wish people would sit and ponder on: “Don’t yet rejoice in his defeat, you men! Although the world stood up and stopped the bastard, The bitch that bore him is in heat again.”

Brilliantly penned, Willow. Excellent write delivered with brutal honesty my friend. This one needs to be read out loud while sitting around the bonfire. Chef’s kiss! Appreciate you.

I’m stealing moments here and there to write these poetry month entries, but the bonfire is always burning. You wouldn’t believe the pile of wood I have waiting. Thank you, my friend 😊

It is strange how for some people their desire for easy, quick answer to complex problems fools them until reality sets in and they discover what their lack of understanding smacks them upside the head. I always found this pithy quote from MaoTse tung appropriate: “Nothing is hard in this world if you dare to scale the heights.” -Curt

Failing to look too far down the road will often result in a crash or a near crash. Immediate answers aren’t usually complete. Thank you, Curt

For some reason I was compelled to read this from beginning to end, and then reverse from the end to the beginning. The choice of words in this hook the reader so well. Short yes, but sweet. And done with skill and vivid imagery.

This one had a lot to say with just a few words. I just went with what I felt. Thank you, my friend 😊

It’s good to have memories like that. Sometimes – when memories are triggered – you can’t help but be reminded of those carefree times when life was a little more magical and joyous.
