Good poem, undermined only : Good poem, undermined only by the "U and I," which looks childish. You are better than that, and writing out "you and I" is not too much to ask of a poem of this quality.
Excellent! The Innkeeper: Excellent! The Innkeeper sold his soul years ago, and is acting out his ultimare damnation while still ahead of it. And, like his spiritual mentor, the devil, he wants others to join him; thus, he imposes his demands upon us. John Milton's characterization of the devil in the epic poem, Paradise Lost, is very timely and appropriate as a guide to the Innkeeper's internal terrain.
Thanks so much for your comment..: Thanks so much for your comment. The idea came from a singer of yesteryear named Anita Hardcok. Check her out on YouTube. Pretty funny. UPDATE! According to reliable sources, Anita Hardcok is not the singer of yesteryear I thought she was. She's an AI creation meant to sound like a singer of yesteryear. Good Lord! I was bamboozled by AI!
Starward: I am happy you see you once again engaging in what I call your forte (Composing religious and spritual poems.) You will remain "Starward" to me.
Wait a minute:: I did not say that I was becomming a Democrat. I just said I agree with you on the First Amendment. Illegal immigration has almost killed New York city thanks to Biden and the Democrats. Thank goodness my poet friend that politics does not define friendship. On many things we will have to agree to disagree. I do agree that you have a wonderful sense of irony and humor in your poetry.
I think the permeating: I think the permeating poignant imagery is what shines here like 'light breaking into shards' and so many layers to explore, though a disturbingly disquieted child whose hips are crippled and stinted, glasses thick, virgin curtsy, utilizing the crutches as a wizarding stick.
No, it doesn’t hurt my feelings..: No, it doesn't hurt my feelings. It gives me hope that you and Ted Cruz have seen the light and left the dark side, lol. Like I always say, politics makes strange bedfellows, but not on the first date.
Thanks for your comment..: Thanks for your comment. Your point is well taken. I wonder if there's anything he could say or do that might cause some on the right to reconsider their position.
If polls show major disapproval, maybe.
I am going to agree with you on this.: It may hurt your feelings to know I, a strong conservative, agree with you. It may hurt even more to know that Ted Cruz agrees with you.
