New Masks

New masks put on themselves to hide but the venom dripping from their pen reveals their name!*

Hello Demetrios, Ausgezeichnet -- Herr Professor!! Those who wear these masks are not worthy at all of calling themselves "Poets." (I can think of other names, much more appropriate!!) "Thanks for telling it like it really is." Their innate cruelty and stupidity running through and through their poisoned ink and their lack of decency and true professionalism speaks volumes for sure!! "Poets" they are not . . . "Losers" they are!! Need I say more?? Bravo Demetrios!! Best Always, Gary

Unfortunately the drama continues dear, WW because some dear poets want to achieve recognition by eliminating other fellow poets! God help them to see the light! Thank you so very much for your honest comment! God bless you!

With God's help I try to be although for five years now, some so called poets, try to extinguish that candle as you put it! I shall return when the time comes! Hope these people will realize what they are doing to other poets is not correct! Only by becoming better humans we can improve in other fields, such as poetry, as well! xoxo!

- The masks concealing the true face and thus represents something false and superficial - Without masks, we often find the weak man - ... "just for today" ... - Your lines are so important that we should remember them for the rest of our lives - Many thanks dear friend - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

I'm glad to read your post, my dear. Not because the truth you revealed...that surely saddens, but because I got to read you again. As usual...all you write is full of wisdom. Filakia

The metaphor of wearing masks is not new and we wear them to protect our vulnerable inner true selves, but if the true self is rotten then why bother to hide, when the pen gives it away? Thats what I think. You have composed anther brilliant Monoku. So good that you visited for the day my dearest Demetrios...Maria xxx

So good to see your smile and wonderful comment dearest, Maria! God bless you my friend XXX

We will know them by their fruits. As they try to hide behind their mask! Their words tell the real story of who they are not what they portray themselves to be. Truth written here my friend. Don't be gone to long...

True my friend, Michael! Thank you so much for your lovely visit and comment! Gd bless you!
