Really like your tone(s), Tobani. You have a way of presenting ideas in a manner all your own.
Great stuff. I might not always respond, but I follow you.....

A poem that I enjoyed. Music does seem to be a language of the gods and a conveyor of emotions. It is a type of poetry all its own. Well said Tobani

Pay it forward my friend, you say it beautifully in verse. It costs nothing to be kind, and there is everything to be gained. Manners equates to acknowledging one another, as you so aptly state. Everything about this poem is a fave in spades!

Having spent my childhood in Colorado in the \'80\'s, it was bit of a shock in the \'90\'s to learn how unfriendly the Illinoisans were, where commonplace friendliness was met with coldness, rudeness and an odd surprise since in Colorado it seemed everyone was friendly whether or not we were perfect strangers. That was then, and now it\'s become shocking. Now civility no longer exists. Everyone is horrendously rude and obnoxious until you feel left alone in the midst of your fellows. Thank you for this timely, lovely and fitting call to kindness and civility. Beautifully rendered with an excellent spirit. Thank you for sharing.

I was able to identify with the sheep in some ways. I really enjoyed reading it. Thank you so much for sharing. Best regards.

Two for one, nicely done. Your poem \"Blinded Sheep\" explores themes of suffering, betrayal, and the consequences of blind faith or trust. The \"blinded sheep\" symbolize individuals who follow without questioning, leading to exploitation and emotional pain. The lines about a \"tortured heart\" emphasize the deep emotional scars caused by unreciprocated love or betrayal.

Hello,Tobani,
The last lines of each of the two poems bond perfectly bringing the two well wrought pieces together enhancing theme of despair and cruelty. Very well done indeed.
Fond regards,
Tony.

Fascinating. I am NOT awake, have a purring kitten thinking I shouldn\'t be on my phone playing around and on me, and am rather baffled. If the sheep were knowingly led, then--? They claimed land... but people have done that for millennia... yet they had neither compassion nor kindness...yes, conquerors are typically ruthless... \"sharpened tongues slowly driven in\"--? You got me there, what\'s that mean? For your second, consider this: \"He satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. \"(Ps 107:9) From our fellows, men or women, and from romantic engagements, or friendships, we may and do seek love, yet I have found no satisfaction except in the LORD.
Beautifully rendered with exceptional imagery and a deeply haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Although at first appearing nonrelated they soon seemed to take on common properties and merged into one landscape. Nicely done Tobani

Cheeky Missy said:
*cough, cough* It\'s not really Russia nor the Ruskies anymore than it\'s the Ukranians. It\'s the commies, they\'ve always been ruthless, the Chinese know that too painfully well, as every other nationality and culture swallowed by the same. It\'s a life and death struggle. And Lenin was confident in boldly promising the future of the then free world, Senator McCarthy demonized for begging the Americans to wake up before they lost everything. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

I agree with your impassioned plea, Tobani—a sad spot in the heart for me. The annual cost to the nations of the world to feed, clothe, house, educate, and provide paths to joy for every child in the world is less than the nations of the world spend quarterly on armaments.

The poet aims to raise awareness about the issues facing Ukraine and to mobilize support against aggression, criticizing global complacency and calling for action to ensure justice and peace.

A most impassioned poem, a cry for liberty and independence not as a revolution but as a bulwark and tidal wall against spreading aggression and invasion. Powerfully written it makes its point clear. Nicely worded Tobani
