God rest you precious gentlemen


Some of my favorite gents

are sight

unseen

blogging away behind the keys

befriending 

gals

on various themes…

angel eyed fish 

swimming in streams 

of compassion

rather than other masculine actions

requiring suffragettes and

Me Too hashtags 

dear gentlemen

how you have blessed me

your kindness 

and encouragement

have helped me 

to believe

a man could actually 

respect 

me

so here’s my # Thank You

and my Christmas wish…

God bless you

precious

gentlemen

My name is Kimberly Vargas Agnese, though I've previously written as Kae Bucher. I was born in the Florida Keys, but grew up in the Bay Area before migrating south to the San Joaquin Valley. As I ride barefoot around Fresno, I consider the paths I've chosen and the crossroads where our country seems to have perched itself. Thanks to my Romani ancestry, many people groups reside within me and my poetry tends to reflect this. I love welcoming the sunrise with my Native American flute. I've been rumored to juggle while teaching students how to write. And if you can't find me, I'm probably hanging out with Jesus listening to parables.

  3. About a year ago I took a break from dating… and during this process I realized how often I had been disrespected by the men I dated… hence… some of the poems I have written.. a couple assured me that my thoughts were ridiculous and not worth listening to… i have been thinking for some time that I wanted to thank the men who have encouraged me on WP that my thoughts are valuable … and felt the need to balance some of my frustrated poetry with the men I’ve dated , with a thank you piece to those who have been part of my healing process during this dating sabbatical … and yes!… oh my goodness… the women here are loveliness as well !… such as you my armadillo princess:)…

  4. Kae, though recent our WP connection, would that I have the honor of being numbered about your fav gents!

    Regarding your “…and felt the need to balance some of my frustrated poetry with the men I’ve dated, with a thank you…” hmmm, this word of yours resonated within me. Sometimes, in my writing, I touch on the dark, shadowy aspects of my nature to the point that I sometimes (perhaps oft) think that no one wants to read that or others may consider me protesting too much. Then I think, I pray not with arrogance that, truth to tell, I write primarily for myself. If and when others find benefit or blessing from something I’ve shared, then I, in the words of Apostle James, count it all joy. So, my dear sister, thanks for your thanks to and for whomever you have in mind. Yet, I pray, please write as you write, knowing that principally you are taking a hand at self-healing, taking your God-guided hand at soothing your soul.

    Deepest love and highest respect,
    Paul
