You possess the "art" of listening and I know so well the fortitude of saying and MEANING, "I don't like YOU". Meaningful write!

Love ya!

Jane

Never in the future, if I am still hereabouts, will I allow anyone to speak unkindly of any of my dead friends, for in friendship have I found of you a suture...-e-

Jerry,
I know all about Karma, but no worries Jerry, I love you!
You are way more profound than you think.
I enjoy reading your poetry.
I have been in a funk all year, I guess turning that (65) age has gotten me thinking toooooo much!!!
Keep on writing,
peace, love and light,
Amber

Peace be with you

I'll be watching for you. The man with the golden wit.

Jerry you are deeper than you know. I hope you are here for a very long time. Enjoyed the poem.

You have a way of cutting to the chase. Having read Misdemeanors and Felonies I know where you are coming from… That place.

Those last two lines, is that a threat or a promise? We are what we are. It is what it is, and if anything I say makes any sense, it was purely by accident. Write on.

Not by a long shot, my friend. Not by a long shot. Your poetry is you, that's why we like it, as a fine picture in the mirror.

Me neither, Jerry! I yam wot I yam! We are not deep! But unlike you, some people hate my honesty because they think I'm deep, but I'm not. Whatever I say has no secondary meaning.

These few words remind me why I look forward to reading the thoughts of people that find life is a complex challenge and only those who deny it are the ones we should fear. You are always projecting a need to be honest, and that is admirable. Even when you indulge in some self-deprecation, there's a part of your expression that says: "I write my poetry with a smirk and a scowl just the way I am even so there are tears in my lewd stuff". Truth be told, what you call lewd is what many refuse to express. Yes, there are many harboring negative thoughts that fear expressing them, fearful they'll be rejected. Fug'em. I'll take a man who enjoys working toward honesty and integrity any day. That's what this site provides for those who take advantage of that opportunity. Keep writing, Jerry. The subtext of your expressions, at least for this reader, are energizing and impactful in a positive way.
