Grace and Dignity.
Gershon Wolf said:
Oooh. This one hits me right in the solar plexus. As if it singled me out to point its finger right at me. Yikes, Gershon

The Comedown.
Cheeky Missy said:
Ahem. I see, you and he have had a teté-a-teté. God\'s rendition puts the devil to shame, which is why he advises you against God\'s and tells us what to think. So far as I can see his lies are the closest he can get to attaining what is forbidden him, \"...I shall be as God--\" as we see what happened to our first parents when they believed that lie and disobeyed. But enough. Twas the reason souls imbibe mind-altering substances. Beautifully rendered in delightful brevity with a curious poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Words of wisdom. However, God is now watching you. Or is it the Devil. Whatever, you are in deep trouble. Your muse may go missing and be held for ransom Sorry I couldn\'t resist. - Phil A..

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Tobani, these hit like quick jolts…sharp and stripped to the bone. The brevity makes them linger…letting the weight of each moment settle in after the words are gone. Powerful snapshots, my friend. A total fave and I hope more see it my way! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

\"Devil Said Hello Brother....\" This turn of phrase is mind-blowing !... One wonders what reply he got... By the way, is the devil always a \"he\" ?!...

Interesting concept I guess depending on which god is being referred to in a Christian world or what sect one belongs to brother or son would be appropriate. Duality in the Jannus mode old as time it carries on. Good write Tobani

It makes my stomach ache with pain to know how much life is worth to states. A very heartfelt and thoughtful piece. I really enjoyed it. Thank you so much for sharing it. Best regards.

Peace or Revenge.
Cheeky Missy said:
Revenge was the only logical course of action left. Unless the enemies deluded the children, they\'d return to punish them, which why history seems to run as it does, seems to me. It\'s a curious mindset these days which recoils and bewails every single death while demanding the right to kill whomever at will.
Excellently rendered with superb imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.

This keeps the door of starvation slightly closed for a while as they eat among the dead.- devastating lines. I shall not forget them in a hurry.
Please do forgive me- this seems to be one of the finest. Thanks for sharing 🙏

💯 Tobani…this holds nothing back. You’ve given us the sights, sounds, and cost of war in a way that lingers long after the read. That final question...peace or revenge...lands heavy because you’ve shown exactly what feeds both. Powerful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ Have a fabulous day!

How the bile simmers when seething with hate, boiling over in to the horrors of revenge. A very powerful poem, Tobani. Very well done.
Fond regards,
Tony.

Revenge gasoline for the fire of hatred. A heart felt write that pulls at the heart watching people sliding down the cliff of ideological feuds where bushes of reprisal are grasped at out of desperation. A curse of mankind whose memory for bad outlasts his memory for kindness and good. Well written

GRATIAS (GAME OVER)
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Exactly, Tobani! You’ve boiled it down to that blunt finality that hits harder because of its simplicity. The visual drop to “Game Over” seals it perfectly. Loved this one, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

GRATIAS (GAME OVER)
Cheeky Missy said:
I guess the most fascinating angle on this gorgeous beauty is how many times I\'ve spoken it aloud to acknowledge that\'s what I/we are irresistibly staring down. After that, pardon et moi, I don\'t know any Latin, excepting \"pig Latin: ig pay atin lay.\" Awesomely rendered with a disturbingly haunting and deadly poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

GRATIAS (GAME OVER)
Jerry Reynolds said:
Good write, Tobani.
The master asked,
\"Why is the creator doing all of this?\"
The student said.
\"I do not know.\"
The master replied,
\"Place fingers in your ears
And close your eyes.
When I clap open both at once.\"
CLAP
\"Which is more fun?\"

“To you, thanks I give for the jest.”
It has a slightly formal, almost ceremonial feel compared to how we’d phrase it in modern languages; like something a toga‑wearing stand‑up comic might say after a clever punchline. “I thank you for the joke”🕊️🙏🏻

Loved both the format and the message in this poem. Short and to the point it\'s wording is frustrating in reminding of messages received where access is denied on line. Password changed, wrong user name, account disabled, no record of such account on and on access denied where one had been before. The fun stops. A pertinent and poignant write Tobani

Wise Man Say (24)
Cheeky Missy said:
Forsooth. Too many years ago my brothers\' line was something very like, \"... whoa! Let some steam off him!\" Pity we cannot indulge in a cuppa Barry\'s thanks to a heated exchange, haha. And oh the jokes, indeed, played on the souls who can\'t avoid taking themselves too seriously. Delightfully rendered with excellent imagery and good humor, and a definitely haunting poignancy. Thank you so very much for sharing.

Honesty Policy (Fun)
Cheeky Missy said:
I dearly love how capably you make me burst out laughing. Poor Harry indeed! And while, of course, males and females in the \"animal kingdom\" cannot board up together for even one night without engaging in procreation, it\'s hilarious when you address reality. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a waltzing poignancy. Thank you for sharing.
