Wonderful reading, B.

I feel a continual evolution in your art,
which I deeply appreciate.

The content of this piece is just stellar.

Really spoke to the depths of me.

Hey there, Cipher :)
My eyes light up seeing your comments upon my page.... It means the world to me that you can spy 🕵️ a tinge of evolution... What a wonderfully glorious sentiment. That's made my day, so very bright.

I'm beyond delighted that I could reach within... that you felt me and my words, like you did. That's incredible and truly cool. I'm supremely grateful for all your support, kindness and vast inspiration you instilled via your own work.

All the best for you, dear dear friend 🙏🏻
love love love...

I don't know about "ought to's'", or "how dreams should be dreamt," but I do know that I love the tone of this write.
Excellent write, Blue.

Well, it's official... Santa does exist!!.. In his wise way, he brought me exactly what I wanted/needed for Christmas (without me even knowing) and it was these amazingly lovely comments here... lol! What a treasured, gift indeed!  
I adore you and covet your opinions, bk... which makes has me relishing and basking in such a much needed and perfect way... Oh selfish Blue!! hahaha...  
I'm just so very happy you found some pleasure here that I'm left beaming.....  
and utterly appreciative 🙏🏻

Much love and admiration - 💙  
Happy Holidays - ❄

(thank you)

Dear BV,

I think you may have just cracked open a nut and revealed an answer for me on a personal level. This poem, and its insightful perspective on pure love and kindness, has just been delivered to one and all in a heavenly and stellar fashion. Thank you, my dear friend. For it’s gems such as these that show us a path when we’re (mostly I mean me) really lost. Amazing write. Merry Christmas. X H🌷

Merry Christmas, lovely lady ❄
My heart is full, reading your enormously thoughtful comments... you had me misting! I am so massively appreciative of your presence and heartfelt friendship that even the smallest notion that I could remotely uplift, inspire, warm or help you to illuminate makes for a sense of profound joy. If I have, please know that it's a small thank you in comparison to how much you've given me over my year and half here on DUP. I wish I could give more, help more... that's how much I adore you, my friend 🙏🏻

All my deepest gratitude, thanks and love.
You're the glue that we all love to have holding us together here. I can't imagine being here without you.... ✨ 💫 ✨

Sending out all the best holiday wishes and treats without consequences!! (Yessss!!)

Absolutely, enough said.

You're very lovely and kind... thank you, dear poet.

Hey there Jay :)
Your comments have me floating!! I've often struggled with spoken word delivery and have worked on it over my time here to improve and explore different ways to 'attack it'... lol... I absolutely love that you felt the way you did, after listening... to get to that result... well, that was a long time coming and over 20 spoken word poems later.... lol.. haha.. I finally realized, relaxing and relieving myself of any of the perceived pressures of being recorded, means that I can usually capture something I'm pleased with on that first recoding attempt.... sometimes it's one or two tries but I've found for me, that numerous attempts, makes for a lesser impactful read... I'm probably glowing, from your kind words (because it's so meaningful to me!) ... along with joy knowing that you found some excellence!! (just wow!)  

All my warmest regards and gratitude,
I hope you have very very Happy Holiday - ❄☃️🌬️

Jay, I hope you are doing well and that you are had a wonderful holiday. Just wanted to check in and see if alls well and wish you a happy new year, too!
...

Thinking of you!
🌹 - B

Well, congratulations.  You made me cry and laugh at the same time.

Now, I'm going to have to take a shower,  have some coffee, build a fire, and sleep in a hammock under the stars to process this. Thanks. Kiss. Your. Forehead.

Ohhh myyyy!!
I saved replying to your comment lastly because I have been selfishly basking within it's warm little cocoon of good feeling, since reading it this morning. I don't think any less of myself either!! Sometimes a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!!
☺ (sorry not sorry!)

*dreams of scooching you over on the hammock to join...

A most importantly and ardent, Thank you.
I too, will stargaze tonight
It's one of those bittersweet nights, methinks.

🌹 - 💙

When the sun hit the horizon through the leafless trees.....ahhhhm.

That's when the echos of day sound loudest and make for excellent reflection....and a nice tip of the hammock, to rock back and forth....


*sigh...

How do you say, "Growls," in Swahili?

Hmmm.... I bet I'd know it if I heard it..... or felt it...


*gulp...
;)

Vibrations....and buzz....

Christmas a beautiful holiday for love.  Keep on writing you strong beautiful smart sexy woman.

It's a beautiful time indeed... very wise!
Thanks for the lovely sentiments, Francisco
Happy Holidays 🎄✨

Perfect ending to this dream of a poem.
Well done!
❣️🙏🏼

Hey there, KP...
I absolutely love seeing you today
Thank you for listening and for being interactive, so to speak, within my little dream... I'm so happy you enjoyed it - 💙

Much love and Happy Holidays 🙏🏻

All my heartfelt and deep thanks for such generous and thoughtful words. My heart is warmed knowing you enjoyed it like you have.
I feel that finding those, who you're able to connect to and share a kinship of emotion, creativity and art, like poetry, is such a rare and unique opportunity.... I'm so thankful I was able to find that here on DUP!
You're a rockstar, Jackie 🌟

Dearest, Lady Blue
I adore this poem❣ You put into to words so many feelings that I seek...so many dreams I wish were fulfilled, like these passages,
"a heart to love  
without an iota of bias "
and
"being open
means  
in
every.
single.
aspect."

And the truth in your final stanza is brilliant,
I count myself as very fortunate to know you beautiful goddess poet 🐻💕🐰

... and just like that...  
she got what she wished for.... ✨

I couldn't have asked for a better gift than seeing you upon my page.... Night. Made.
Thank you for a year's+ worth of support, encouragement and loving friendship.  

May both our fortunes continue to be entwined in such serendipitous joy and the shared art of pure happiness, we two wandering souls seem to be able to bestow upon each other...  
🌹 - 💙

Merry Christmas, Bob

(I feel likewise, in all my good fortune)

O wow, Im kinda lost with this poem, I read twice and liked it but then I listened to you reading it. It's pure magic.. I loved listening to you reading it. You have a voice made for reading.
Magic.
💜💜💜

Omg.... and here I am thinking I sound like if Kathleen Turner just smoked five cartons of cigarettes right as someone shouted "Action!" to my record button.... lol hahaha 😂 😂 😂... (Ohh I'm terrible!!) ....You have made me smile wide, thinking that I could inspire, like you commented... that I could evoke magic, is just.... wow... It's unreal! I am truly fortunate to have your thoughts and niceness to ponder... It means so much to me!!

All my loveliest thank yous and humble appreciation, WM.

Happy Holidays to you and yours, my friend!
🌹 - B

I read along while listening. James is correct. This is an extremely strong poem and brilliant in it's delivery. I found this hypnotic.

Ohhh Wow!
I'm thrilled to be able to slightly hypnotize! Those are some truly awesome sentiments, indeed! I'm all smiles and very appreciative 🙏🏻 Thanks for visiting and your generous RL adds, as well.

Much love and Happy New Year to you and yours!

As a listen again it's more about timbre, timing and the quality within. It's an immersive joy.

To be considered/seen as a joy, has me beaming... You're too too kind!

Btw, I was totally stoked to see you publish a new poem!! 👍🏻 It was terrifically crafted and so moving to me.... Please don't be a stranger, when it comes to sharing with us .. (I know it's easier said than done sometimes!) I just adore reading where you take us.... It's uniquely Margo!!

Thank you so much, sweet lady!  I hope your holidays were/are as lovely as you are.  I am in awe of just how lovely and generous you are...the energy you give to comments, critiques--the community as a whole.  
I am absolutely honored everytime I read or connect with you.  It is a distinct privilege 💝🙏🥰
Just catching up on reading here today...see you in my reading list! 🤩😊🤩❤❤❤

You really keep raising the bar with amazing entries and then you submit something like this that shows the passion and emotion in your voice.  I often wonder if you have a book in the works with so many outstanding verses and profound pieces that really reach out to us.

Thank you for sharing.

A book!!?🤷🏻‍♀️
Me?.... noooo way! I am nowhere near good enough to publish a book 📙.... One day, maybe.

Wow, my head is spinning! lol... Thanks for the boost to my confidence and motivation with that insanely kind comment, Walter! I am literally smiling from ear-to-ear!! Whoa!.... It's nice knowing that you have that kind of faith in me, now I just need to work on my own! I'm so so glad you enjoyed reading /listening and couldn feel a connection from the poem/spoken word!

Thank you for everything you inspire, too!
🌹 - B

Btw, if /when you have time please let me know how I can go about reading your awesome published book accomplishments... That's a huge milestone and I'd really be interested in checking them out!


📙 - 👍🏻
Thanks Walter!
Happy New Year!

I haven’t published them yet. The revising and editing process seems to be more difficult the the writing of it, but I am shooting some some time in June.

2022 should be the year.

Ohhh, my mistake!
That's something really exciting to look forward to this year, Walter!

Please let us know here on DUP when the opportunity is available to but your book! I'll definitely be in line... lol.

🌹 - B

Another demonstration of your amazing diversity in writing; an A+++ and more. Thanks for being amazing you. xoxo, Oral (o)-(o)

My heart sings, knowing you enjoyed this one, O.
Your kind words bring me such wonderful joy and motivation. It's having support and encouragement, from those that I often derive inspiration from, that really helps me grow and makes me feel more secure in my sometimes waning confidence.... So to me, you're amazing!

Much love and and best wishes for a beautiful new year 🎉

Your kindness is felt and totally appreciated, T. I am a bit surprised though, only because I just got done talking with someone who has over 1000 poems here.... So my little accomplishment of 430 seems utterly meager... lol.

I do appreciate the vote of confidence....So, did you like this one??.... heh heh

🌹💙

Thanks.
