Dastardly Deeds

Darlene, in reviewing my poems and comments, I noticed I had failed to reply to your comment. Yes, there is a message in this poem and I hope those who read it will see it --- just as you did --- and take it to heart. Thanks for your support.

Thanks so much, Oliver! God looks upon the heart of man, not on his outward appearance. I see that you know the full meaning of doing that and I appreciate that in you. Looking on man's outward appearance indicates judgement toward them but if we look beyond that and see what is in his heart it makes a difference. I live my life as though I am being seen by others 24/7.

From one Curtis to another --- You're welcome, brother, and thank you for the congrats and considering it a good piece.

Thanks, Eve! I hope you had a truly Blessed Easter Sunday. I always enjoy hearing from you. You are one of a group of fellow poets that I can forever count on for encouragement. I appreciate your support.

Hi, Line! So good to hear from you. Thanks for the congrats.

Elaine, I just read your entry in this contest. Such a situation as you described is all too often true. It is how we ultimately deal with the situation that matters. I pray that it is fictitious in your case, but if it's true, I feel you have handled it superbly due to the extreme character traits I detect in your writing. Congrats on your win.

Thank you, Susan, for your unbridled kindness. I always look for your comments, knowing they will be inspiring, encouraging, and always kind. Thank you for your support.

Thanks Anne-Lise. It's always good to see your comments on my work. By the way, I love your pen name because your smile is certainly like a ray of sunshine. It warms and brightens my day.

Thanks, SO! Just getting a placement in a contest that you sponsor is a great honor. I always take your comments seriously and do all that is possible to be a better poet. You keep encouraging by critiquing and I'll keep on working at being a better poet. Hope you had a Blessed Easter day.

Your welcome my friend. I will read this poem often. have a nice evening my friend.

WOW! Darlene, what a wonderful analogy. I'm glad you see it in this light. I am a man who respects women and will defend their honor to anyone. Thanks for sharing this heartwarming response. And, for making it a fav of yours.
