Diabolique

Diabolique! It's so tragic, in poetry! There is no safe place to be. Knives come at you with your poetry, if political. I do understand people now border on the hysterical. Anyone on the right, in danger of poetic execution. Unjustifiably, diabolical! But as in life, poetry is just personal expression. I wish it were not considered a dance, so evil, one needs to rush, find a priest and go to confession. I want to be accepted as me. Crazy, but I want to be honored more than any animal or tree. I will not hedge on this, freedom of all expression, Requires depth, not just a hug and a kiss. It's integrity, lies in the freedom to be. Freedom for all .....trumps imagery. June 27, 2019 10am PST

I adored the poem, especially the ending. I am an independent, so rarely get mentioned in the "fray" so to speak which delights me.

That is OK Caren. There's deafening noise from the fray. And not one of us should harm bodily, in anyway another for political reasons. You can be independent, true, but hard to be deaf or blind to the current inhuman conduct of attacks on other Americams. It's so low and disgusting. Plus the foul language, oy! Add vicious snickering, Panagiota

We all have the right to our opinions and political poetry will only be embraced by the party represented. Freedom of speech should remain free. Very good Panagiota! xxoo

Oh, Connie! I so agree with you on the freedom of speech. Yesterday, it was hatcheted by the NBA,the word "owner"of any NBA team is now racial and banned.Mark Cuban owner of the Dallas Mavericks is more than uoset.The PC set gagged free speech to death with muzzles.Thanks, Connie. xxooPanagiota

Ha, ha: 'trumps imagery' is a real corker. What a play on words (intentional or not, no matter). At any rate, I agree with your premise 100%. Warm wishes, gw (Soup mail, please).
