When evening meets Earth’sDaylight, Peace is the horizon,

Dagwood and Blondie – A Diamante
Dagwood
Dagwood was funny and hyper-active,
Sunning, cunning, and protecting his backyard turf.
Blondie was always hiding, resting and waiting to eat.

This is great! I am looking at Dagwood and Blondie in a whole new way, but you are absolutely right!

Thank you Santosha,
I really saw this in panoramic perspective to what is happening world-wide as well as in the deep portals of a mindset also beset with questions and answers that cannot be resolved in this moment in time. Thank you for your grace in expressing this so poignantly.

Do You Love Me? – A Song
I prayed to the LORD,
And wondered why
The LORD had not heard my cry.
Then I prayed to the LORD on bent knees,
And this is what He said:
“Do you love me?”I prayed to the […]

Fiona,
I like the simplicity of your poem. Oh that man would simplify life, saying what he or she believes is good and just let it manifest! -

Alex,
There is a pervasive presence of fascism in your poem – an awakening in which we all must trust in and not ignore the signs. Thank you for sharing. The visions of women many times capture the hues and auras sometimes hidden from the third eye of men. -

Martin,
Very few acknowledge or even discern the completeness of our initial innocence and the beginning of corruption when we are eventually introduced to “Candy (rots your teeth!) World.” You say it with eyes wide open, too late for Adam and Eve, who did walk around all nebulous and naked. Instantly, they saw their ugly and tried to hide…[Read more] -

Wow! This is the knee deep broken down to the most intricate detail of anguish not addressed or valued. This poem is a love song that you have written with honor deserved but still not served. I thank you, for the beauty of each line and verse is “poetic justice!”

You left out humanism – euphemism! There is no way we can keep our ducks all in a row; there are precepts, laws, systems, doctrines, unpleasant stances and immutable truths that drive the lives we live. Stripped from our skin and the breath we breathe – the spirit remains: We are one.
I concur!Seventh Solstise

Hi Fiona,
I surmised that these lines are song titles and it is quite unique – and it works to describe love-lorn experiences that we all have faced. Very creative!Seventh Solstise
