This is a lovely and most inspiring write well couched in metaphor of great beauty it unravels and unfolds its meaning. It talks to me and I can feel its passion as I read it. There is no way not to give it a fave

I am so glad you felt able to poem your feeling on the issue that so obviously underpins & provides the foundation for this work .. I am also full of both admiration and respect my friend .. and for what its worth, I have been blocked by so many times since I arrived here several years ago that I have lost count .. It used to bother me at first because not one of them blockers had the decency to inform me why they had blocked me .. but hey\' there\'s nowt as queer as folk so they say .. or at least used to say back in my day .. Take care, keep ya chin up and write on .. Neville 😎🌻👍

Paul Bell said:
Blocking is a bit childish and stops dialogue.
People interpret poems in different ways, and this reflects the comments, and
as long as people are not blatantly obtuse, I really don\'t care how they comment.
Keep on writing and writing.

A poem of exclusion where one feels unjustifiably snubbed or blocked for unknown reasons. Just or not it goes unexplained with no way to find out. Nicely said

And some don\'t even allow comments from us. Let them get on with it, I say!
Meanwhile, I\'m too busy on my ego trip, \'Liking\' my own poems. Am I really?! lol. We can do it if we must, but can only do it one time per poem. We get caught out, as if we try to \'like\' a poem twice, it deletes one of the \'likes\' - if you follow all this waffle?!

Friendship, there’s strength in how calmly you name this and move on. Good for you. This brought a major smile to my face. I have been blocked in the past as well. It happens and, honestly, I love that you chose to be curious, name it, wipe it off your shoulders, and creatively express your moving on from it. And yes, this poem will be here year after year LOVE IT! The poem speaks for itself. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Ode to the Donkey’s Dignified Rear.
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Friendship, this is absurd, affectionate, and surprisingly well-crafted. I absolutely love it and I love you the pic you paired with it. You balance wit and warmth so the joke lands without cheapness, and the closing line seals it perfectly. Thank you for the grin. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

sorenbarrett said:
The donkey an intelligent animal, symbol of stubbornness. A democrat\'s mark but really a libertarian at heart. The backside a subject of humor. His name applied to any that are deemed worthy of an insult or a fool. And orders to kiss his back side a call to arms. Defiance can be heard in this write and to stand one\'s ground and be who one is. Nicely written with rhyme and good flow it sings out as a challenge.

My Bus Ride Home to Stay
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Friendship, this is a poem about choosing home as an act of courage. You let the ordinary do the work…streetlights, passengers, brakes, gates. By the end, staying feels like grace rather than surrender. A beautiful, grounding piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

My Bus Ride Home to Stay
soheil khodaparasti said:
I appreciate your conscious use of the bus not merely as a means of transportation, but as a vessel for reflection—carrying both the literal and emotional weight of the journey home. The poem beautifully balances nostalgia with acceptance: old pains are revisited yet gently softened. The theme of home as a reclamation of the self is especially moving.

This hits home, closely describing a twenty year relationship that turned dark without a lot of explanation. Thanks for this.

As an Artist.
Soman Ragavan said:
Indeed, the artist sees with different eyes. And having seen, they communicate their feelings to others. The artist is a dreamer, too. They dream of a better world.

I am so psychotic
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Friendship, this is fierce and luminous. It doesn’t sanitize the chaos…it stands inside it and claims breath anyway. That closing declaration feels earned. Powerful work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ Happy New Year, my dear friend!

sorenbarrett said:
A wonderful write of of blended humor and understanding of what lies inside. What is psychotic anyway but a loss of reality and we all do that as we withdraw within the mind in thought and imagination especially in fantasy. Here are so many lovely allegories and metaphors that are separate from reality yet in themselves transcend reality into illumination and as such the thin line between madness and genius. A fave Happy New Year

soheil khodaparasti said:
I like the line “the world can be a cage, but my thoughts are the key” the most because it stands out as a powerful reflection on inner freedom. By contrasting the world as a “cage” with thoughts as the “key,” your poem suggests that while external realities may constrain us, the mind remains a source of autonomy and escape, capable of reshaping confinement into meaning and possibility.

Friendship, this is a meditation on loss without blame. You let grief ask its question without forcing an answer, and that trust gives the poem its grace. By the end, the wind feels like the only honest messenger left. Beautiful work and Happy New Year to you and your family! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
