Closed minds allow dust gathering
mental chards of decay
Heedless of moral codes
they still find something to say


Suffer not my mind with thoughts
from your vomitous attitude
they are no more than the Devil’s words
regurgitated and spewed


Provoking with a fire brand
without thought to scars of flame
unless you’re willing to stand up
shut up and take the blame!

Talk about fire breathing poets!
When you return to the board, you return with an amazingly hot write.
Good to read you again, m'friend.

Good gracious!  When you come back you sure come back with the fire in you I will say that   Remind me not to ever get on your bad side will you please.  Whew girl that was on fire!

Example is not the main thing in influencing others, it is the only thing.

Your words keep me alive

I do believe you could beat someone shamed with a feather quill...

in fact, I think you just did.

Welcome home hugs for a very passionate verse.



and yes'm, I'm very proud of everybody today.



It was a good day, wasn't it?

A very powerful piece with a lot of conviction behind each word and a joy to read.  Welcome back to the pages of blue.

Lots of poetic clout in the thoughts presented in this piece.
I like the intensity.
Nice writing.

Thank you all for reading!!! This poem was done off the cuff in reaction to someone who made me angry! Reading it again, I see that anger and really, I am not that mean! LOL

I'll write something sweet and kind later. I just got online after being offline for almost 6 months. A lot has happened in that time (like losing a hard drive with a lot of my work on it!). But you'll be seeing more of me now that I'm 'back'!

Compassion is the heart and integrity is the soul of excellence.
