I love this. I may not stop by often enough, but I do love what I find here each and every time! I am a fan of your pen! ;-)

YOU get me laughing sometimes Gene, other times my mouth drops, my jaw aches and I astounded by your explicit feel in your poetry! You pain so much realness in this much needed heartfelt write! I love your visuals!
I can see you painting Y O U and the rest is shown in your loving pure eyes that travel to your soul!
KEEP! Astounding us all! With the magic of your poetic lines, that my heart endures! I want to write like you and many others... ;) PRACTICE- PRACTICE- Practice! and FEEL!
WRITE ON!
Warmest Blessings, LOVE and Inner Peace, Warrior Purple Lady Sheexooo

your close brought smiles to my face in the visions your poem expresses...
you are an artist, even though I do not know if you scetch with charcoal pencils or not for sure, but I do know with certainty that you scetch our minds with your poetic verses very vividly Gene :)

I enjoyed the way you blended this drawing/caricture of the author of the poem to show how a man has aged but suddenly, as a surprise, transitions into a Don Quixote de la Mancha, a favorite play of mine since I spent so mmuch of my life tilting at windmills while seeing dragons. You've given me another idea for a poem. Thanks.

I truly loved how you weave your thoughts in this poem..Very clever and captivating!
Much peace, love, and light,

O Knight come rescue me I have a love emergency!!!! lol

Absolutely love that last line, Gene. Your wry sense of humor eases its way through your lines and while light-hearted self-deprecation is evident here, there's also a deep sense of quiet confidence that permeates your work. I really like that.

SC got it right, who cares that you clank as long as your heart and soul is working and we know it is, you're a 10 Gene in our book. Thank you for sharing.

Newfie hugs, Rose

The clank, the rusty old noises of the joints and of the mind, I can feel and hear them...and that's just as I type these comments. I won't try to walk today. A brave and noble piece, Gene.

Gene the images are superb! I can see every nuance, and love your modest wit beautifully done!...ET

Gene,

Know you're getting older when your adversaries are sheep and howling windmills! (Enemy getting weaker.) Mayhap (love that word) YOU see an aging warrior, *I* see an endearing father in the mirror of your words. Thank you. Well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Ewe did it again, you're Windy, Gene...sheep and windmills should be kept alive because they work...when they're gone, we're gone too, gone with the wind, and frankly My Knight Williamson, I give a damn! An easel of joy is this poetry, a self-portrait of time-honored genes...DNA poetry...

Love,
Sage

Good one, I got a chuckle out of it.

Never mind the clank, your heart is pure and your quest is honorable, so urge yore ass foward and win the fight. Cheerin Ya on, SC
