    NO RUSH MY FRIEND.
    I WAS JUST CHECKING TO SEE IF ANY NEW POEMS WERE GIFTED US HERE.
    I realize that the majority of poets do not write as quickly as I do..
    Which is often to their great credit..... as a poet should develop a certain
    level of discipline, in not only style/form and depth , but in time given to each poem
    to reach satisfaction with it as a work to be presented as a finished piece.--Tyr
    18 U.S. Code § 2381-Treason Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

    It is a good luck I came across with this thread and was very pleased to find a poetess at this board.

    NEVERMIND

    My daughter, my child.
    You broke my heart, gutted my soul
    Does anyone else know?
    Nevermind.....

    When you think of me
    And you can't stop wondering
    Where it all went wrong
    Nevermind.....

    When you're sorry for what you said
    Feeling guilty that I'll be all alone
    And you're reaching for the phone
    Nevermind.....

    If, in the routine of your busy day,
    You remember the hurtful things you said
    And realize my soul is bleeding
    Nevermind .....

    You said you wanted to be free, no responsibility
    That I bring you down because I frown
    That I'm needy and make everyone feel guilty
    Nevermind.....

    To save face with friends and family
    You make last minute invitations
    Thinking I'm sitting here waiting
    Nevermind.....

    When you think it's been long enough
    For the cuts you made to heal
    And there's a chance to make it right
    Nevermind.....

    Remember, karma can be a bitch
    Whe your daughter rips out your heart
    You might remember when you trashed mine
    Nevermind..... I'm done this time.
    If the freedom of speech is taken away
    then dumb and silent we may be led,
    like sheep to the slaughter.


    George Washington (1732-1799) First President of the USA.

    Two years ago this happened to my daughter. She now knows what it's like to have your child RIP your heart out. We've been pretty close for last 18 months. I've never shown her this poem. I might share soon.

    Rainbow Dancer

    In a magical world
    She slides down a rainbow
    Of tinkling laughter
    Landing in a pot of gold


    Covered in pixie dust she twirls
    Fingers clicking, head-bobbing
    Feet tapping, humming
    To a song only she can hear


    My Down syndrome princess
    A gentle soul she has
    If she had her voice
    A beautiful songbird she would be

    This is in honor of my step daughter who has Down Syndrome and had a stroke when she was 10, from rare condition, Moyamoya, and lost her ability to speak and swallow. She's been tube fed since 1993.

    Rainbows


    R adiant ribbons of color
    A ppear against a moody sky
    I rridescent and shimmering
    N ascent images emerge
    B eyond physical interaction
    O ne is common, two is rare
    W atching for pots of gold
    S ilently embracing the magic

    Acrostic type of poetry where first letter of each line makes up title of poem.

    I love the poem, I'm so sorry about your step daughter. My sister had Downs, she is our angel, both before and after death.

    Sassy your poetry reveals a true poet's heart, soul and great talent, IMHO.
    Your poetry reveals a clearness of vision, depth and beauty that is in harmony with your soul.
    Add to that, the fact that it also inspires and reveals kindness, love and natural perception of the world- both its good, beauty, mystery and even its darkness.
    You my friend are, without any doubt in my mind, a gifted and true poet!--Tyr

    Here's one I wrote back in 2015.

    Get Out, Go Away

    Did you not think I would weep,
    When I heard you sigh and say,
    I just can't love you that way?

    Your words, razor sharp, cut deep.
    Only pride kept my tears at bay.
    You were a complete ass today

    You made promises you won't keep.
    Said you would never stray,
    And would kiss me every day.

    I'm hurt, heartsick and can't eat,
    The world is dark and gray.
    My trust you did betray.

    Now that I know you're a creep,
    No way in hell can you stay.
    Get out of my sight, just go away.

    Not a word! Not a peep!
    No hugs, not even a wave!
    I will not cave!
