I don\'t believe what I believe
Goldfinch60 said:

Good write. I do agree with Fred though, in my mind I am still thirty five but when I try to use this sixty nine year old body to try and do things the mind just laughs at me.

A compelling read Dan - we are certainly equipped to keep on trying to find the power inside .Love that last line.

We conceive, believe, then create. Your fine poem says it more eloquently, Dan. Well done!

FredPeyer said:

Good advice, PD. The mind and belief come first, then everything else follows.
There is sometimes a problem though when you get older, when the mind says \'I can do that\' and the body answers \'Are you kidding?\'

Way to go Dan. Congratulations. I give you much credit my friend. I went to one of these poetry nights and I did not have the courage to get up in front of everyone and recite my poetry. Good for you. You da man. Great write here too. ; )

Hey, I started a fusion poem and I\'d like your input. You can find it on my front profile page under my list of poems. ; )

Thank you for the support

I\'m pretty sure the thank you should be going the other way around, after all you\'re the one who writes these poems! And the open mic part was awesome, good on you!

Thank you for the support
FredPeyer said:

Very, very well done PD!
I don\'t know if I had the courage to stand up in front of a crowd and read my poems. So, hat\'s off to you!

I\'m thinking
FredPeyer said:

A very good write, PD. We ARE experiencing ourselves through the people around us. Sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a not so good way. Then, instead of getting mad or upset, we do have to take a good look at ourselves to find the truth. I do believe that if we love somebody we give up part of ourselves and together with the other person become a new whole.
You went pretty deep here!

His and hers

A sad read, probably difficult to write. The childhood stuff was not your fault. Glad you are healing through this process. Good luck to you and your healing heart!

His and hers
Fay Slimm. said:

A sad read which must have been painful to write Dan -- questions asked that have no one answer as troubles come by the score to some - yet the piece shows so clearly the results of childhood abuse. Thanks my friend for sharing such hurtful memories.

Good write, we all need to write what is within us.

Great write Dan! I loved the Cheyenne saying in the beginning. Also the last two lines of your poem is so true! Thanks for sharing this write with us!

Reading your great poem, PD, I vibrated right along with you! And I do think you could expand the \'Dan syndrome\' to a \'Writers syndrome\'

My rhythm just went up a notch after reading this, PD!
And with my voice, I go hide now and sing a song!
Love your poem!

Good fun write, may the dog and you share a great journey together.

Consequences are free
FredPeyer said:

After reading the quote I was ready for some deep thoughts challenging my mind. Then, by the third line of the poem I realized you were talking about a dog, and getting to the \'mostly fun\' line, was smiling too.
But then, I also realized that you are talking about much more here than \'just a dog\'. The \'history of our connection\', \'fear of expressing\', \'walking together\', and \'compassion and balance\', apply to any relationship, be it animal or human, as does the last line. So, challenge my mind it did!!!
Great, great poem, PD!

I knew it was the dog from the first line. Great idea and write. ; )

Haha ha Dan - - what a surprise at the end of this intriguing write. Had to read it over again and I am still smiling.

Fay Slimm. said:

Oh how alive both the verse and the video - could feel the flow and the rhythm and was out there having a go at that dance with you and the family - great last stanza too Dan - - or should I be calling you D-man !! Lovely stuff.

Words of passion
FredPeyer said:

Great imagination, PD! Great lines, like \'Atoms become entwined in the mist\' and \'As I rise within my own being to walk your deck\'. And the picture goes well with the poem. Kudos!
