1. Absolutely beautiful David.

   1. Thank you so very much, Gabriela 💖

      1. My pleasure 🥰

2. All well written, David, but this one I keep reading aloud:

   So soft so soft I whisper these
   Words to warm soporific breeze
   Dream do dream do – oh tell me please
   What does one do – when no rhyme frees
   From fears from fears heart’s chambers freeze
   As ghostly winds howl through them?

   Quite perfect for recitation.

   1. yes – it is – I hadn’t thought of it in that context, but you’re totally correct, George 🙂

      Yours,
      David

3. Love the diversity in both structure and subjects found in your poems, David. Your poet wings continue to grow!

   1. Thank you so so much, Michele.

      Much appreciated. 💓

      Yours,
      David

4. Shabbat Shalom still Sabbath here for about 4 more hours. I like this one.

   1. Shabbat just ended about 1/2 an hour ago in Jerusalem 🙂

      Now we traditionally say “shavua tov” which means “good week” ❤

      Yours,
      David

      1. Shavua tov

         1. 😊

5. I wish I had a twitter account and this is very tempting to make one… but I am limiting my media accounts! Love these poems.

   1. Honestly, if it were not for my goal of writing “a poem a day” in 2021, I wouldn’t be on Twitter at all 💓

      Thanks, Muri.

      Yours,
      David

      P.S. if you do change your mind, please let me know 🙂

6. I followed you on twitter. Love the illustrations that come with the wonderful poems.

   1. Thanks, Shannon 🙂

      I do feel like having an illustration adds another dimension to the poetry – especially when it’s micropoetry and the poems themselves are so short!

      Yours,
      David

7. I loved ‘better at writing than living, but dying to write this life’. I feel the same❤️

   1. 💖💓💖💓💖💓

8. Im also in the same boat as you regarding imagery…trying hard

   1. I know! It’s really not nearly as east as some poets seem to make it!

      Thanks, Parna.

      Sincerely,
      David

      1. Yaa true …it’s Aparna not parna

         1. Ooops – that so embarrassing, Aparna! I’m very sorry 😳

            May I ask what your name means?

            -David

            1. Its a name of goddess Parvati of Indian mythology who ate only leaves to please her husband lord shiva.

               1. so interesting 🙂

                  I am reading this now to get the full story!

                  Thanks!
                  David

                  1. I hope you enjoy that post

                     1. I did!

                        But it seems kind of horrible to have to starve one’s self in order to convince somebody to fall in love with you 😮

                        -David

                        1. Ya, it is surely deep penance but that is mythology and that too dating back to more than centuries…only god’s can do tht :p

9. I think you captured it well here David!!! ❤️

   1. You are very kind, Cindy. Thank you.

      💖
      David

      1. You’re so welcome David!

         Happy Saturday! ❤️

10. Love these short poems. ❤ Three stand out to me: 1/31 cherished alone time…lovely imagery! 2/2 Eagles and Doves with their feathers in the dust…wonderful call to peace. 2/4 Delightfully whimsical!

    Enjoy your weekend, David! 🙂

    1. Thanks so much, Cheryl. I hope you are feeling well.

       💖
       David

11. I like the glue sticks could be the parent to in me but I know all those things well abs enjoy how you’ve elevated it.

    1. I thought of it because I am a parent too 🙂

       Thanks!
       David

12. I’m not big on imagery either, but despite the current trend I don’t think adjectives are everything! I am enjoying your Twitter poetry, keep going…

    1. Likewise 🥰

13. I like them all! I love the imagery in,

    “Envelopes night stillness”
    All the sounds of the keyboard resound in your words. Bravo!

    I am stunned by your comment that you feel that your imagery may not be as robust as you might like…
    With respect, I beg to differ. A poet’s imagery is his/her own unique style.😊👍

    Cheers 🌟

    1. 🌟🧸🌟

       1. Exactly 😊👍

14. The “glue sticks” poem is very exceptional, very playful. Well done.

    1. Thanks so much, Gavin 🙂

       All best,
       David

15. This is great!! Followed you on Twitter!

    1. Thanks so much 🙂
