Just a Dream
Fay Slimm. said:

Sad to read of so many establishments in need of re-hashing. - -true Phil those areas which should be aware are blindly riddled with uncaring greed so change of attitudes still seems a dream - - but who knows what tomorrow may bring ?

Fall (Autumn)
L. B. Mek said:

it\'s so hot and humid
I would do anything for a bit of shade
light rain and some breeze..
we all view a different season as our ideal
yet, well traverse the same season\'s
eventually
its all, based on our perceptions..
(a wonderful read
thanks for sharing, dear poet)

Please Tell Me It\'s Raining
Fay Slimm. said:

Oh Phil - the write deeply stirs this reader\'s emotion with its weathered appeal - - - love sometimes becomes so sadly one-sided it can and does indeed break the heart.

Please Tell Me It\'s Raining
Doggerel Dave said:

\"I said you could leave dear.
It won’t matter at all\".

This touched me - I know this dynamic very well and for once you have provoked me into a positive review of a love piece.
Haven\'t used the term \'poem\' because I\'m sure it is a song. Have you put it to music? If not, find someone, please.

Awakening
MDStone said:

Tender Dawn, Summer Breeze, Streaking Sunshine… You made me feel your words. You drew me into your raw emotion until at last I sat and watched it rain with you. Thank You for sharing your gift.

A Rose Arose
L. B. Mek said:

layered and meaningfully, so
I admire poetry, that\'s obviously
intimate in context
but inked in a manner that affords, the reader
enough abstracted distance
so they can interpret
the words and themes, in a way
that they best relate to it..
it takes such refined, practiced skill and restraint
to make it a subtle element of a poem
a fantastic write! thank you
dear Poet

A Rose Arose
Violet bluebell( used to be yellow rose) said:

This is lovely . Nature should be saved too .. I like how you have expressed yourself in this ))

A Rose Arose
Fay Slimm. said:

A tale of sheer devotion to saving nature and all she creates -- the title so apt and the telling so folded in poetic rhythm - - loved the title - a rose arose indeed.

Shoes
Fay Slimm. said:

How true and penned so compellingly this look-back at the pride I had when wearing my first high heels - - a perfect six liner Phil - thanks for the memory.

A Life
L. B. Mek said:

\'With a cigarette...\'
\'She inhales the scent of flowers\'
(ain\'t it crazy, how we taint
our surrounding, Nature
and yet
complain of the emerging
smoke\'s
we\'re made to busily, stifle
in our everyday of choice\'s
consequences...\'
(a wonderful portrait of the human condition
thanks for sharing, dear poet)

A Life
Fay Slimm. said:

This read of time passing and folk living through busyness to poignant aloneness has brought me near tears Phil - - so well penned and rhymed it must be one of your best and goes straight into my favourites with thanks for expressing life as it is for those who do what they can to cope.

Sea of Heartbreak
Dove said:

Heartbreakingly beautiful, love the comparison of Love to the seas

Sea of Heartbreak
Fay Slimm. said:

Your imagery got me near tears Phil - - the sea and its waves means so much for many and I felt the sorrow of love lost but still needed.

Sea of Heartbreak
Raven333 said:

Although sad that was a good poem. I thought it flowed very well.

Sea of Heartbreak

Not keen on love poetry generally, but the combination of loss and hope got to me...won\'t happen again...😊
(Did seriously engage me).

Detour of His Heart
Neville said:


I have received last minute early warning signs that something is not quite write ahead .......... its probably the only reason I am able to respond like this today .. Neville

Detour of His Heart
L. B. Mek said:

when we learn, signs
are most time\'s, mirages
glimpsed, from a distance
or as a result
of our blinkered, projections
attempting to layer fantasy, over
that shunned, imperfect reality;
we understand
just how much control, we have
in striving to curate our story\'s
end
as sweet, as we choose it to be..
\'Oh, how I thank those signs
Signs of all kinds
Like when you went away
and didn’t say where, I was blessed that day.

The final sign - DANGER - TURN AROUND
put my feet back on the ground
saved my heart from another disaster.
Met someone, now my heart’s beating faster.\'
(just a great read, dear Poet
so relatable, thank you!)

Detour of His Heart
Fay Slimm. said:

An emotive read Phil - - Signs can give a smidgeon of truth for a heart to see but at times we are blinded - - I love the positive end to this meaningful use of imagery.

Detour of His Heart

Sometimes we become mistaken Phil but our heart will always show us the right path to walk along.

Reflections
Fay Slimm. said:

Wow what a story and you pen it with such intrigue Phil - I was entranced from the first line - mirrors that bind with spells make the most engaging subjects -- am going to be wary of my old looking glass now.

June 7th, 2022 16:57

Reflections
Neville said:


I would argue that rather than being a short story .. you have crafted a compelling longish prose poem that held me captivated from one end to the other ..

I truly have a thing about mirrors Phil and this one was, or is kinda special ................... Neville
