Fare Well Dear PIP Poets

Upon the winds of dreams, I find myself leaving,
Where my wind wanders away from PIP’s dreaming.
I think today one needs, to write in solitude’s Democracy,
Much like a Banned in Bama wine Label Freedom.
For Poetry to some is a prison of conformity conditions,
Where the elite of the elite of the Fraternity has privilege.
I do it, because I must Walk Wounded releasing frustration,
About Republicans that say America must fail our children,
Where the Shame Ole Same Thing Democrat Fraternity,
Only thinks about protecting their eminent domain benefits.
Yes, this Ben Franklin image of a weathered $100 bill
Just may go to France to find Lady Liberty in writing poetry.

(I think I will just concentrate on writing a book and not sharing my love of Poetry, or PoeLibArtry {to Conservatives} to others.)

Blessing poets, you are in my HeArt,

David Lester Young (D.Lester Young)

Sorry to see you go Lester, but if you have a journey to travel, then this is important to prioritise.

Heart2Heart Thank You, I need to keep writing and using the time to put together a book or two. I have enough material over 2000, so I should be able to find enough for a chapbook for poems, where some may be qualified as Poetry.

Thank You poets, your are the HeArt of Poetry and Poem's Artmosphere.

Now here you respond to a poem of mine, and I find that you are leaving us.

But sometimes solitude is exactly what we need when working on our own possibilities, so it is with understanding that I bid you adieu, as well as a great helping of Good Luck!

Oh, no! Say it isn't so! But if you must go, please know, that you will be missed!

You have written over 2,000 poems?!? My goodness, to be sure, you have more than enough for a "chapbook" or two!!!

Good Luck to you, dear Lester!

Sunshine You are the inspiration of nature's beauty dancing in verse, I have to try to commit to concentrating on a book.

Earth Angel some people are woven from heartbeats where their poetry smiles into others thoughts, you are gifted with wings that must fly.

Bill Charles write the winds within your greatest dream.

LindsayP Ffrom down under let the world know what dynamic verses come from Australia.

Depth of Poetry.

Hear the whispers nerve ending vibrations
Feel the whimpers sing endnote sensations
See the whisking wand endless penetration
Sense the soul seek fulfillment’s dimension.

May your travels inspire you to continue to write your poems and fight for what is right.  I do hope you wander back this way.
