This is a wonderful poem of self reflection. It is an giant step forward to be able to own the mistakes of the past, and in doing so find forgiveness for yourself. A fine and courageous write!

Loaded with great metaphors and allegory this poem speaks of regrets and attempts at penitence. With clever wording and good flow it speaks its message loudly. Nicely done

Nicely expressed write, sense of losses not expected turning their life upside down, the struggles that have followed on the road back to normality, well written

I think I’ll have my reprisal (obligatory) with a splash of vengeance; satisfied, only then consider forgetting, although the ’best served cold’ principle can still pertain in certain circumstances.
That’s for me, but I hope it helps…..lol.

I like the metaphoric approach of this poem allegory is always a most useful poetic tool. Like a map that constantly changes with new voyages and expanded knowledge this poem proposes a chart to guide. Nicely done.

A most interesting rhyme scheme Dan this poem\'s wording reminds me of Bob Dylan in some of his songs. The interpretation of this and all its metaphors would be quite lengthy some rather obscure. There is a general feel of sad rebellion in it. Very nicely done Dan.
