I can't speak for everyone, but I know for a fact I always look forward to your words. "Pearls and swine"...reminds me of the Audioslave song "I am the Highway" and of course Matthew 7:6. Perfectly expressed in your real poetic prose.
I love your writing. It is always so honest, vulnerable and real. My psychodrama trainer always said "real is better then perfect" Your writing demonstrates that for me. Please keep it coming.
Wow, Franco. This speaks to me on many levels, and it's just what I needed to read this morning. The same part of the poem that still resonates with you, also resonates with me. You can add the whole paragraph above that last one, as well. I am glad you continue in your walk with words, because they make a positive impact on people who need to read them. They encourage and empower people, such as myself, who need them.
I really feel the truth in this, Franco, both the poetry and the prose (which I really appreciate – it's good to read your poetry, reflect on it, then read your own commentary). I also enjoyed hearing your voice.

Great lyrics based on a well known biblical passage. I think Franco deconstructs those lines nicely in this piece.
for sure!
I always think of that passage too. And I echo the sentiment, of course. Silence the critics, don't fear the lurkers. Always be you.
thanks Ria :)
Thank you!

Love to read you always
thank you :) I appreciate you reading, always.
to really create something special, you have to put that shit aside and think about who the words are really for
For me, for you, for readers, even for non-readers. Thank you for writing for us, Franco.
thank you, Marilyn :) thank you for reading.

This is such a great piece of work Franco.

Write for yourself, revise for your readers -- and, like you say, only those readers who are going to like what you write.
