A fisherman\'s Tale, extraordinary in language and beautiful imagery. I\'ve seen the whales in the Indian Ocean, certainly a sight to see. 🌹

Another fave my friend. Close to heart the style that I like and so much like my favorite book by Melville Moby Dick. Never been a whaling but have watched the right whales swim by in Florida and Brazil and seen them breech from my house on the beach. Magnificent animals. This poem gives old flavor to all I\'ve seen and read. A lovley write

The Elated Confessant (My First Holy Confession)
Friendship said:
Well written, my friend. The poem explores themes of liberation, repentance, and spiritual renewal. It portrays a transformative experience where the speaker is cleansed of guilt and shame through a fervent act of devotion and forgiveness, ultimately celebrating their newfound joy and connection to the divine.

The Elated Confessant (My First Holy Confession)
Teddy.15 said:
You may not believe me when I tell you that just yesterday after lunch I watched Waking Ned, a film I\'ve loved for the best part of 30 years. I\'d confess I wouldn\'t mind being behind the screen to hear some confess, although I believe I could never convince a non believer into believing. 🤣 A most entertaining read my dear Tony, love the craic whenever and wherever. 🌹

The Elated Confessant (My First Holy Confession)
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Tony, this is ecstatic chaos. From phosphorescent holiness to angels riding holy stoned lambs, it blazes with satire and surreal devotion. That final line....rock anthem in the middle of absolution...instantly pulled me to The Doors. Robby Krieger’s Light My Fire came to mind right away, echoing the same wild flare of liberation. Brilliantly done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Ah the rapture of forgiveness and the purging of the soul on Monday\'s wash day. To hang sun bleached and white again only latter to notice stains not removed. A fun read that the religious will take seriously as penance paid by by redemption but I and some cynics see as having been sold a bill of goods from the back of the medicine show. Filled with all the verbiage necessary for disguise it laughs in the face of piety. The last line seals it. Now free and blameless ready to do it all over again. Loved it Tony

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Tony, this one’s a delight. The rhythm and dialect carry so much characte...felt like watching the whole scene unfold on that porch. Oddly enough, it even reminded me of Barry Manilow’s \"Boogie Woogie Fever\"…was that what they were stompin’ to? 🤣 Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I heard someone call me. Grave digger has arrived! 🪦 🤣 My silliness aside, the spade digs deeper than the earth here—it carves into conscience. “Through whiskey’s tears my horrors seep” lingers like a curse. Powerful work, Tony. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️

Another most entertaining poem Tony. Have a good friend that was a grave digger when he was young and also knew a mortician but he has a very dark sense of humor. I continue to love the cadance and rhyme in your poems not to speak of the tales. Another fave my friend
