Your words are even more evocative and powerful than your drawings.
Carl D'Agostino
February 15th, 2013 at 07:26
That is encouraging. I am reluctant to post much of my poetic efforts because followers expect cartoons and humor but things like this are being well received. Regards.

You’ve become quite the poet over here.

I think I’ll never see, a DaG as love as a tree. Very poetic serious post today.

This opens the eyes as does your cartoons, really not a departure but a coming together. Good shtufffs!
If men were trees and trees were men I have wondered to myself.

Multiple avenues of expression although I cannot sing or dance or fly like Peter Pan.

Oh, so you have tried the Peter Pan thing.

A tree would never write words as touching as these.
Carl D'Agostino

Well I’ve known a few and their words sing in the forest in soft tones of green.

This is fine, Carl–but your sad words are unexpected from one who normally luxuriates in the light side of life. Look forward to reading more of your serious work along with your wonderful fun stuff.

I am glad to hear this as my pen is not limited to drawing.

“Water brings the tree rebirth, but a man’s teardrops are not rain…” Powerful prose, Dag.

A comedian, An artist & a poet! What else have you up your talented sleeve?
Carl D'Agostino
February 15th, 2013 at 16:45
I can do sarcastic satire and political commentary but such would be inappropriate here. So with my stuff and guests it’ll be poetry , cartoons and art only.

I believe this is the best of your writings I have seen. Truly touched me. Beautiful. Thank you, Carl.

Delighted you dropped by. From your poetry, well, I knew you’d understand.

The winds may blow us over, but our roots – they live on in our children and grandchildren.

I agree. African American History Month projects for school will be done with grandpa coaching.

Carl, this is tremendously moving. I am so glad I didn’t somehow miss reading it. You are so talented to be able to move between the humor of your cartoons and the express such deep emotion in poetry. I hope you’ll never hold back from sharing.
Carl D'Agostino
February 16th, 2013 at 23:36
Another part of me. I have file 35 years of efforts at poetry covering a wild gamut of themes, styles and such from the deeply moving to whimsical and funny.

No one is and that’s why we must be gentle and tender to ourselves and others.
And, avoid those who are nasty. Love them, but from a distance!
Carl D'Agostino

Seems we have all felt this way to one degree or another.

You’ve earned your audience by making us laugh…but we are glad to see other Carl sides, too. Well done.

Love this. Sometimes the most gnarled, damaged trees are the most interesting and beautiful to behold… but I doubt they would have chosen to be shaped that way.
I hope the tree gains comfort from our admiration.
Carl D'Agostino
April 6th, 2013 at 11:46
With nurturing support you offer it’s a fair bet the tree will respond
