isolation amidst an aftermath.

Fantastic! However, the masquerade stampedes.  

At times, that it does, A... You're 💯, there.
Ty very much for reading

Lately
and quite relatable

also read Zazzles' spill and Your spill is not quite the same theme as Hers but i can see how it is mildly relatable

Agreed... hers jump-started my inspiration....Which I truly adore and is rare but always such a pleasure. IMO, that's what the best art does. ;)  

Ty so very much for taking the time to leave your thoughts, T. I really appreciate it. I'm all smiles that you could find something relatable.  

I hope you're hanging in there, sending my most pleasant thoughts of peace and healing your way... ✨ 💫 ✨  
Much love and respect,

Nicely poeted ... I love when a poem prompts a poem ... like a poetic link ... chain of artistry ... one of things I love about being here ... this sort of thing never happens in my "real" life ... engaging write ... smooth flow ... pleasing structure that sustains the cadence ...

Thanks, LilD... I completely understand that 'chain of artistry' (terrific description) feeling.... it's soul satisfying 🙏🏻....Your comments mean a lot to me and the generous list add is never taken lightly... I needed a pick me up today and your feedback helped me out, there. It's the little things, sometimes... Ty, dear poetess :)  
Much love and respect,

Good read, B. I enjoy your talent.🌹

I appreciate you stopping by, Grace.  
Ty so much for sharing your thoughts...
I always look forward to seeing you 🦋

"Yet I, just oblivious bask
in the complacency
of my delusional own doing  
I pile on top of metaphorical pile
the security of aloneness, routine—
birthing an emotional hoarder
where locked in safety
becomes silent acceptance..

Nothing to say that has not already been said here..
So honest piece blue..

Appreciate the nod, Numer.  
I'm always so grateful for you stopping by to read and leave your thoughts.... So glad you you could feel the honesty... ✨  

Much thanks—🌹

The perfect pandemic reflection poem. Not only our society but also our psyche changed with binge TV watching and inward focus. It is so easy to slip through this psychic crack. Love Game of Thrones! They dared to go where TV hadn’t gone before. But your poem is a deeply contemplative look at where this past year took you. Your use of language and metaphor dazzle me and make me aspire to reach higher.

There's very few series that I would watch in their completion for a second time and Game of Thrones is definitely one of them!! 🐲🐺 👑.. lol
You are so so SO generous, dear poet. I'm beside myself, wanting to convey humility and grace in light of your true kindness left upon my page.

I appreciate everything, John.

De nada. All IS well, Ty for asking. Don't judge a candle by the poems it burns [or something]. Peace, love, mirth Richard

Judgment free zone here!

We all learn new things while we stayed home because of covid.  Keep on writing.

That's definitely true, Francisco! I certainly will, thanks.

I can see the inspiration  you drew from.  I love this type of stuff.

Thanks, Lj
I appreciate the read

I'm fully vaccinated, so a huuuuuuge virtual hug. And les you think you are alone, you're not. Agent 088 is keeping an eye on you.

You and zazzles need to hang out and push yourselves outdoors. She can be wicked fun!  : )

Or is the outdoors scary from all the whistles and catcalls you two hotties would attract?  Be well my friend, and maybe a bit less blue so you can be the true "Blue"!

Hey Leo... I'm fully vaxed too, so huuuuuge returned hug 🤗! I was hoping 🙏🏻 agent 088 was still assigned! Whew!! 💦 Such a relief 😌😉  
heh heh...

I am not nearly as hermit-like /housebound as I wrote.... lol. I do find now, it's much easier to become complacent, though.... definitely!! Slowly but surely breaking that habit!  

Yes, Jackie is wicked fun! I looooove her to pieces.... We two, together would definitely be trouble... heh heh heh 😈 😇

Ty for reading and leaving your wicked awesome comments, my friend 🙏🏻

-Aways a pleasure ✨

I always enjoy your astute observations, penned in such a casual and eloquent manner, they become enlightened thoughts that most of us may have missed had we not seen this.

Beautiful work.
