TRUE SIMPLE HEART
A poem, an optimistic tome, came across my eye, it included and insisted , on some rules we all should live by. On your sleeve the rested hopeful heart should reside, carry nothing you must hide , fueled by rule apart from flimsy cliche’, no Dionysius rock or clay shall steer your mapped traveling way gaining altruistic sense bettering afore a gifted granite strength New day. Live Long Live Strong Let Strengthened Heart lead til Life’s Last Tragic Play

We (that is, I) is saying it's a good write Bobby!
Your words mean much.
A bit un-grammatical of me there - 'We is....'! The royal 'we' in the UK. Just call me Your Highness. lol.
How about Grand Duke?
Yep - or Your Majesty! lol. One did not kiss my boots when I demanded it. He chucked a bucket of mud over them.
Dime days yiu eat the bear and some …
In London UK - a shoe-shiner - have to pay for it though. I would be embarrassed to be a customer.
That sounds like a twist of London/Ethiopian slang ?
“Carry nothing you must hide” a sage statement. I also am impressed by capturing Malcom X’s essence, in his iconic poetry of a life and his “true simple heart.” Enjoyed the read…
Superb quote
Followed by your wonderful words
And my fav part
A spectacular ending
At first seeing the format of the write (paragraph) I was taken back, but then upon reading, I found the rhythm and the flow and within it all found the clear meaning of the write. I'm blown away by the write.
You, Sir, are gracious. I did think twice about the paragraph format but I couldn’t figure out the other way cuz maybe I have extra words but it seemed I need them?
Nice write Bobby. Love your creative format.
This is truly wonderful the depth of meaning is so profound beautiful title and of course your last lines bring to its tragedy just as life does in the end. 💖

It’s all cuz I listen to Miles

Wow! The most genius. The highest level in music. The secret.
Read a little bit about the greatest LP ever. KIND OF BLUE. Not Wikipedia either , but rather from a seasoned writer w perspective. Do that. Then listen to the first track
SO WHAT. Read first then listen and it may change your life. It’s where real poetry and artisan beauty reside. This is the best advice I can give.
