Wonderful, I'm laughing once again at the delightful truth the lightness and joy I hear in your lines.

And the freedom to tease out the meaning of writer into liberation rather than constriction. Fantastico! Love it.

Thank you.

Thanks Guy! I had fun with the walking and the writing of this one. I am delighted to be a writer now. To have someone enjoy a poem I have written on the other side of the world is such a gift 🙏

I'll share one day my own 'not really a writer' story! It has a wonderful synchronicity to it. Not here, likely in a future post. It is a bit long and complicated.

You got me startled at "Maximum violence!"

You are most certainly a writer and a masterful one at that!

This was great, so many fun and poignant lines, but in my humble opinion this line takes the cake:

“ I will scream “Maximum violence” and show crazy eyes” — that was hilarious! I literally burst out laughing.

Enjoyable, engaging, and humbly-profound :)

How I love your comments Michael! My son and I always joke about that line so I had to include it. He says when I do my crazy eyes it's the scariest thing he's ever seen ha ha. Imagine facing someone down with a look that says "I'm going all the way here mate so you'd better be ready" !

I’m so glad you included it.

Yes, no one wants to fight the crazy person who’s willing to go all the way.... especially not me haha
