<quoted text> And...we should give a Woot 'n' Holler..WHY??

No one asked anyone to give a "Woot n Holler Why?" It matters not to me whether anyone gives a Woot n Holler Why?

I am because I am not because of others.

I need no ones validation but my own.

I write for myself not You Ms. Colorado- and yes I am smoking my cigar with my feet placed on a stool drinking a hot toddy and laughing at you.

I bid you adieu Ms. CC I care not about what you have to say. I am done with you and your attack on my person.

You are behaving like a childish bitty and I can hear you clucking like the hen you are.

DONE!!!!!!!!!

Cluck

Cluck

Cluck..........

Please try to control the chemical reactions roaming your head at this time and get yourself together.

Let us see how much control you have over your physiological process.

I bet not as I predict you will be unable to keep yourself from clucking once more.

Cluck

Cluck

Dedicated to Clucking Hens

Lack of respect

Respect? Yes respect
Lack of respect
Lend us in hot oil
And now we are fried like vianas
Because you lack respect
Yes respect

Respect? Yes respect
Lead you to put your feet inside the packet
And look now
You have fallen so hard in the ground
Because you lack respect

You had foolish remarks
Asked personal question
And proved to the world how jealous you are
Because you lack respect
You questioned facilitator than scenario
How? Because you lack respect for colloquies
Because You mesmerize twaddle
You are futile

Known to some and not by others, Grace is my Pen name.

Okay, as one of "the others" I follow, no need for your subliminal message below the threshold of conscious perception, causing impetus stumili.

"I write poems to untie myself, to do penance and disappear.....
Through the upper right-hand corner of things, to say "Grace."

[Anonymous]

"Some moralist or mythological poet
Compares the solitary soul to a swan;

I am satisfied with that,
Satisfied if a troubled mirror show it,
Before that brief gleam of its life be gone,
An image of its state;

The wings half spread for flight,
The breast thrust out in pride
Whether to play, or to ride
Those winds that clamour of approaching night."

With all due respect Devine there was no sumbliminal
message in my post.

Clearly, you have misunderstood what I wrote. It is quite simple.

Grace is my pen name (some people know that and some people do not).

My post was not done without thought or care; nor was it impulsive.

Could it be that the responses to my post were???????

[Check_ Your_ Pulse]

Yes,

You said so yourself. I am not responsible for individuals who cannot control their impetus behavior.

And I refuse to take responsibility for anyone who does save myself.

Adrienne Rich

Responsibility to yourself means refusing to let others do your thinking, talking, and naming for you…it means that you do not treat your body as a commodity with which to purchase superficial intimacy or economic security; for our bodies to be treated as objects, our minds are in mortal danger. It means insisting that those to whom you give your friendship and love are able to respect your mind. It means being able to say, with Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre:“I have an inward treasure born with me, which can keep me alive if all the extraneous delights should be withheld or offered only at a price I cannot afford to give.”

Gary Maclean

What is so great about being the one?
The one who has responsibility
If anything goes wrong and likely it will
It comes back to the one with accountability
Responsibility is the burden so many must bear
The load, the strong must be willing to carry
Someone has to be responsible for things
Not everyone can party, be happy and be merry
You must have a DD, a Designated Driver

RESPONSIBILITY

When you do a foolish thing
Of which you can't disclaim,
And even if admitting fault
Will bring you utter shame,
Rise above your shallow pride
And with proud voice proclaim,
"I TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!"

...if there's no one to blame.

You know that thing you should have done
but picked other things instead?
That thing entrusted just to you
that now won't leave your head?

A certain person counting on you
to have rightly done what's due
Will soon find out you did not
that thing you promised to

That guilty buzz inside your mind
that will not let you sleep?
The thoughts of it that hang around
and into all thoughts creep?

The knowledge that quite soon you will
be found to be remiss?
And soon be hoping painfully that
you will find forgiveness?

That is the voice of reason
the one that helps you see
that always guilt will come to those
who lack responsibility

Not at all...you see "Grace" you know my real name, it's Adrian...

However with you it's most confusing.....I was under the misapprehension that "Check_Your_ Pulse" was your "pen" name, now to cloudy the waters even more, you're stating that "Grace" is your "pen" name, if that's the case then whose initials are CYP ?

"Devine" is my pen name, so if you don't want to be addressed by your real name, that's your prerogative and your exclusive right.

Although I thought it was a woman's privilege to change her mind ?

Kind Regards,
Adrian (DeVine) Knight.

With what stillness at last
you appear in the valley
your first sunlight reaching down
to touch the tips of a few
high leaves that do not stir
as though they had not noticed
and did not know you at all
then the voice of a dove calls
from far away in itself
to the hush of the morning

so this is the sound of you
here and now whether or not
anyone hears it this is
where we have come with our age
our knowledge such as it is
and our hopes such as they are
invisible before us
untouched and still possible

Check Your Pulse refers to a physiological response to stimuli. It is in reference to my career and my work outside of writing.

No matter how I turn
the magnificent light follows.
Background to my sadness.

No matter how I lift my heart
my shadow creeps in wait behind.
Background to my joy.

No matter how fast I run
a stillness without thought is where I end.

No matter how long I sit
there is a river of motion I must rejoin.

And when I can’t hold my head up
it always falls in the lap of one
who has just opened.

When I finally free myself of burden
there is always someone’s heavy head
landing in my arms.

The reasons of the heart
are leaves in wind.
Stand up tall and everything
will nest in you.

We all lose and we all gain.
Dark crowds the light.
Light fills the pain.

It is a conversation with no end
a dance with no steps
a song with no words
a reason too big for any mind.

No matter how I turn
the magnificence follows.

Hope this helped ?
