I am a great believer in being upfront and honest and if I ever was caught in a lie I would hold my hands up.

I am just me.

Great write Gypsy dear.

Thank you my dearest Magda, me too I am brutally honest to a fault and to my own detriment.

Red

GREAT write here,Gypsy Red...
I cant really pick a favorite line just that I think its overall an amazing piece.
Much enjoyed!

Oh yes, what about the IChing image that you have used.
Do you read IChing?

Thank you, thank you I am thrilled you enjoyed this piece. you are welcome.

No,I do not read the I-Ching, but am familiar with the philosophy.

Red

Yeah almost always to me detriment... Thanks DP I appreciate the comment.

I have felt this strongly the last week as I stayed away from this place. Looking at our world and seeing a very distinct line drawn between the haters of the world and those seeking peace and appreciating the beauty we get to explore.

Strong words of truth delivered with your signature flair!

(Gypsy takes a bow)Thank you very much my dear friend your the coolest.

Red

Nice one, Red. Yes, I too have this need to be honest. Amazing I have survived and had a career!

That makes two of us Mark lol :-) thanks.

Red

This was absolutely fantastic.  And I love the use of the banner, and the I Ching at the beginning.  I've consulted it many times myself.

Thank you so much I am extremely flattered. So happy you enjoyed my humble piece. :-)

Besos tu gitana

I love this poem! It made me cry, because last night I posted a badly photoshopped image of myself to cover how I realy look. Well, today you can see what I really look like! I always thought I have a fat face and an ugly nose, so I figured wearing a mask of sorts would make people like me better. But after talking to Jessica earlier, I felt braver and decided to put up an acual REAL photo of how I look. I still feel funny, it's like being naked really... but I am happy to be telling the truth now, at last. Your poem reminded me of that, and of how important honesty really is. Thanks for the reminder, Gypsy. I'm putting you as one of my favorite poets now. :D

Lauren I am humbled an honored that my piece gave you the courage to be yourself and the clarity to understand why it is so important, if someone cannot accept you at you worst then they do not deserve you at your best! No one is perfect it is our class that make us interesting and most important ...human.:-)

Red

Oh, Gypsy! Lauren told me all about this poem and how inspiring it was to her (she is like a daughter to me, so wer'e close)... and so I just HAD to come and read it for myself. I loved it, very, very much! All your poems are delightful, but this one was very true and had the power of that truth within every word. The visual style was nicely done too! I love it when you blend the visuals with the poetry like this to create a truly transcendant work of art. You're always one of the best of the best!

Wow Jess I am truly humbled by your kind words of praise,I do so try to great works that speak to my readers and thus can relate to them. This was created inspired on a personal truth of my own I am incredibly proud of this one and all the wonderful comments. Thank you very much for reading Jess.


Red

undeniably beautiful...this is one of the most poignant piece of artistry I've ever come across...written with such a graceful and masterful stroke of your pen..a truly outstanding and much needed manifesto...I'm reeling from the depth of this..

My friend, Now, you are wading into deep waters, I am much more than I seem. I see you are inquisitive, so continue your exploration of my works if you liked this one there are many more similar in taste. You will defiantly get to know much more about me.

Red

this is lovely - "tell the truth every day" - such a simple creed to live by

Indeed! Thank you for reading and commenting.
