The song rising
from the fixed location
even though it is truly off key
as the chorus grows
and flows around us
like prickly thorns
tearing flesh from our hearts
ripping into
what we are
to lay bare. The chorus grows
voices
become centered
self the only vision.
I am.
I have.
Its me.
and those that wonder
cannot feel
the puff of smoke
rising from
their laid bare hearts
each one
breathing the air
to find
nothing there.
The tale
missing even the idiot.

I did not receive payment this month.
Sorry. That is why I try to get people not to post they got paid. Not everyone gets paid, it takes time to build a following!
I agree. I do not know why some members are so happy to post this. We have to do a lot to get paid. Some people think it’s much easier.
I apologize for those that do post that. You are of course right it is hard work to get paid.
No need to apologize on behalf of others ?. I somehow understand them.
Prickly thorns tearing flesh from our hearts…hmmm kinda painful, that one. I cannot answer the questions in the poll though.
answering the questions isn’t important. Thanks as always, the poem is a new one. I have to stop reading negative posts!
Lol! And that is a very good decision to take, Doc. I’m worrying the negativity will diminish the light in you ??. See, I appreciate your loyalty and your being passionate about your stand because I am the same way and so I understand where it is coming from. However, I read also that anything (or anyone for that matter) that irritates us teaches us something. You will always have my support, of course. Just the same, kindle that light within you and do not let other people’s actions let you down. ???
I am honored. The path forward is to the light! But your support is something I treasure!
I really don’t know the answer to the second question. I don’t think I have ever pasted the amount screen up there, but I may have said something. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
First, you asked so it isn’t rude! I get frustrated with the people that spend so much time complaining but are the first to say I got paid. The reality is the majority of writers on Virily get paid once a quarter or less.
