Hello my friend.
Many thanks for the kind critique of my general silliness.
Some didn’t understand that it was comedy!
I thought I was losing my sense of observational humour..
Very kind words for which I’m truly grateful and overwhelmed.
Kindest regards.

\'They’d gone to call’t Samaritans he made em all bereft.\'
the thinly masked, witty cynicism
imbued in your lines, killed me..
(I\'m not sure if there\'s something wrong with me
but I genuinely laughed reading
your subtle inferences
to some people\'s self-absorbed
obliviousness..)
and forgive me, but I couldn\'t help connect - in theme
your write, to that
beginning of Dostoevsky\'s \'Crime and Punishment\'
where the despicable \'Marmeladov\'
goes-on about his woes
while detailing
all the suffering, his choices
burden
his family with, especially
his Daughter...
(just a great read, dear Poet
I genuinely think it a privilege
when afforded to read
such polished writing
thank you!)

Thanks you. Did kinda throw it down.
I will revisit and tidy it up.
I get so caught up in the subject matter, I forget to format.
Very kind feedback.
Thanks again.

took me by the hand and
lead me along a rhythmic
trail
I was not expecting the
sudden ending such
contrast as abrupt as
the discovery
Most enjoyable
have you considered losing commas and full stops?
Here is a verse but unfortunately
this text input will not allow me double spaces Please imagine the replaced spaces
Do you remember the maze? he asked The thing the old farmer made?
Of bushes and hay bales and wood
I’d hate to get lost in the maze he said I’d get out as soon as I could
I often do this unless I specifically want a comma for emphasis
suspense or visual effect
2spaces comma Three spaces for a period
Two spaces in place of quotation marks I say
I feel it easy to read without hooks and dots clutter The eyes naturally
suggest pausing at a longer break between words for about a comma length

Nice rhythmic flow and humour that dampened my eyes
If I may offer suggestion suit within doesn\'t sound right because it is without
wearing a shell that fits him
adds to the absurdity of searching
and wearing a suit that fits blends one in as does a tortoise\'s shell
What do you think?

such a well written story with a tragic ending
I\'m sure this plays a role on why so
many people off themselves during
the worst of pandemic so sad, they simply
cannot figure out the slopes of life.....

\'Remember
when we were kids” he said
“Taking chances
whilst admiring glances
made those endless evenings
full of fun.
We didn’t know our lives had just begun,”
“But life is full of obstacles,” he sighed,
“ They stop you getting to the other side.”
You simply can’t remember
how you reached
the place you find yourself right now.
You don’t know when,
you don’t know how.\'
(so much wisdom
you\'ve weaved into this, heartachingly
acute, portrayal of so many people\'s
daily, realities..)
and if your words were inspired by real life events
I\'m sorry for what you\'ve had to go through..
this is a read, I\'ll remember for a long time
thank you! for choosing to share with us..
Brilliant!
