Notes About The Poem

Written August 7 2026 for Deviants and Devine contest sponsor Silent One

Deviants

Dare to be your authentic self 
Even if threatened to go to hell
Virtue is in the wind of white wings
Invest in you make truth of dreams
Answer the calling of the wind
Neon nights need not be sin
Turquoise tears can be from joy
Soul’s that blend friends enjoy

Oh what an alluring acrostic this is, Karen! Love what you've done here especially with that line "Virtue is in the wind of white wings" a big yes to being authentic, true and real! Genuineness is the most attractive! Well wishes to you for the contest ~ sending you light and love always, hugsszz 💫💫✨✨🌹🌹
