• Oooooh, that is an epic use of 9 images Jon! Bravo this week!! Again! :-) XO Cheers~! - @robyneggs
• Masterpiece....I could not tell that you struggled. Yet some of our greatest work is done through struggle. This one can be likened to the high pressurized journey that a diamond and a pearl go through to reach its fruition because your poem is indeed a precious jewel. - @rensoul17

Poetry Dice Entry Week 12: [Losing My Religion]
https://steemit.com/poetrydice/@japhofin8or/poetry-dice-3000-entry-roll-12-losing-my-religion

“I turn and view the church one last time
Its pyramid topped spire shooting upward
A metaphoric arrow aimed at the heavens
I wave goodbye to you, religion, and to the flock
No longer will I be held to your ideology
Your light cast more shadows than substance…”
Excerpt by @japhofin8or

• Heartfelt, raw realness. Sometimes when it comes to pain, that is unshakeable and overbearing, during these dark hopeless, lonely times, there are no answers. This went beyond, writing a poem, or just a story, I received it as the expressions from deep inside of heart spirit and mind. Thank You @japhofin80r for lifting your voice in this way. - @rensoul17
• Solemn yet warm. Guidance emotion and soul-stirring is offered up in @japhofin8or’s lines of poetry. Thank you for exquisitely juicing up the images this week. - @robyneggs

Poetry Dice Entry WEEK 12: [Lost & Find]
https://steemit.com/poetrydice/@clayboyn/lost-and-found-poetry-dice-challenge-3000-week-12

“I was looking for you, but you weren’t here,
When I wasn’t seeking you would appear
Pardon the touching I just need to feel
Hard to let myself believe that you are real…”
Excerpt @clayboyn.

• “That second to last line there really gave it a slight bdsm feel: D” - @robyneggs
• @clayboyn, Well, my, my, my. I would say ...99 (blew my mind) Shades of Intimacy. Most def did you turn up the heat. I love it. Thank you for expressing the art of showing us beautifully and not telling. I felt like the stranger for which you left the door unlocked and allowed me to come in and stand in the shadows of your rooms, yes I did say rooms, and watch everything unfold. This piece not only allowed me to see but it allowed me to feel the heat and burst with emotion as I too felt the intense moments and the tender moments . I also loved how you built the story, first you searched for her and could not find her and it seems she skillfully alluded you. And then suddenly there she was. So I as the reader went from the chase and her being far away somewhere to the end of the story where she quit running and there is total surrender. And too I saw a longing that had grown for her which can be seen by the slow and meticulous way he responds during the intimacy. To him she is a great mystery, yet very precious. My favorite line..."running fingers through your hair soft and deep..." - @rensoul17
