Head Battles The Heart.
Cheeky Missy said:

Ah, you\'re too good! If only! \"...the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked: who can know it?\"(Jeremiah 17:9). Oh, I can\'t find words to express how much I love, love, love this gorgeous number of yours!!! Exquisite and beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting, delightful, albeit bittersweet poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing, I love it!!!

Your words peel back layers, revealing truth beneath the surface. A powerful reminder that authenticity lives within, beyond any facade.

It has always been interesting to me why white people wish to be darker but discriminate darker skin and why darker people want to be lighter. A mind provoking read.

Head Battles The Heart.
Damaso said:

What a beautiful piece. In my experience, nothing I\'ve ever done with my heart has ever been regretted, but the mind always speaks first, and with good arguments, even though they\'re usually just calculations. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

Head Battles The Heart.
Tristan Robert Lange said:

The head and the heart, two vital to our existence, physically and philosophically. I have found many who neglect over the other, do so to their own peril. This poem, as I read it, is about the balancing act needed to keep both sides at bay. Well done, my friend! 🌹👏

Head Battles The Heart.
David Wakeling said:

This is an amazing work. Very well constructed. It puts the Head against the Head in an age-old battle. A person\'s feelings and a person\'s logic are shown in conflict at first but resolve that at the end. Well done

Ah the differences between logic and emotion and how they do not always agree. This time the head came out on top but it is not always so. A fun and very enjoyable read.

What percentage of the population deserves to go anyway? You have clearly diagnosed the sickness, but how many listen? I do even as it makes me feel impotent.
As usual Tobani, you have clear vision, and for that I must thank you.

Natures S.O.S.
Mottakeenur Rehman said:

Your poem powerfully captures nature’s despair and humanity’s reckless destruction. The raw emotion and urgent message strike deep, demanding reflection. A heartbreaking yet necessary call to action before it’s too late.

Natures S.O.S.
Tristan Robert Lange said:

This reads like one of the judgments being poured out in Revelation. Most people miss it, but that book is highly ecological—God’s grief and anger are deeply tied to the way humanity has ravaged the earth. That’s part of why there’s a new creation in Revelation 21.Your poem is totally in that spirit. I highly approve. This is a very, very important ecological, and I would even say spiritual, work. Well done, my friend! 🌹👏

sorenbarrett said:

A wonderful point made Tobani it is hard not to stomp out flowers in the path of a riot. The balance of nature is overturned when the population of a species outgrows its controls. Answer that no one wants to see is (Too many people) a fave for the message my friend

In My Heart I Cry.
Cirawrites01 said:

This is so true, I almost cried reading cause I relate hard, it\'s a different kind of pain when you don\'t have tears but your heart is aching, and the mask you have to wear because the moment you let it down, people are gonna keep away,, it\'s like being the most funniest person in the group and once you lay the smile to rest the face, they ask \"Are you okay? You look sad, everything fine?\" I mean, I was just resting my face, but deep down I was broken and I just couldn\'t smile that day because I was deep in my pain to put the mask up...

Broken Dreams.
Cirawrites01 said:

It really hurts when your dreams break apart and all the things you hold deep in, you can\'t even express it cause it\'d hurt everyone around you, I really love this short verse and I relate a lot to it
