Wrong Day
Thomas W Case said:
Feels like a barstool joke that kept spiraling until it tripped over its own lies.
There’s a chaotic charm in it—funny on the surface, but you can feel the mess catching up underneath.

I like the way you used the colour-metaphor crimson blue, beautiful tension.

I\'m grateful it is only on a weekly basis. What if it were on a monthly schedule with all them birds flying in and those odd months.. Someone will miss out in February, Captain.

Paul, this is hilarious. The commitment to the bit all the way through is what makes it work so well...every new line somehow making the situation even more impossible while still feeling internally logical in its own bizarre universe. “Friday was casual” and “I am stuck with Monday for a while” absolutely cracked me up. One heck of a fun write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The Cat Woman
Thomas W Case said:
This reads like a slow-burn truth crawling out from under the floorboards—quiet, unsettling, and impossible to ignore.
There’s a cold weight to it, like justice showed up late and still didn’t feel clean.

I\'ve read paperback thrillers/police procederals with less punch than that.

The Cat Woman
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Paul, this is brilliantly restrained storytelling. The pacing, the dialogue, the procedural realism...all of it keeps the reader leaning forward while the deeper horror slowly reveals itself piece by piece. And honestly, the cats detail is unforgettable because of how casually impossible it first sounds. Powerful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Thomas W Case said:
This reads like bruised history turning into something unexpectedly tender, like bitterness slowly remembering it once knew how to soften.
There’s grit all through it, but also a strange, earned warmth in how it ends up circling back to connection.

Ask any lawyer, even the most adversarial relationship ends in amiable lunch together afterwards. Well done

Paul, this feels like watching something fall apart and then rebuild in a completely different shape…not what it was, but still something that holds. That kind of honesty about it all really lands. Well written, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Very curious and had some experience with such a cathartic exchange that would not have otherwise continued as interpersonal interaction. Very moving and resonant. 🙏🕊️🤩

Your poem seems to explore the complexities of human relationships, the difficulties of maintaining intimacy over time, and the unexpected ways people can reconnect after a rupture. Nicely written, Paul

The Tortoise
Friendship said:
Well written, Paul. Your Poem revolves around a conversation between two individuals discussing love, marriage, and the mundane realities of life, such as shopping for children or the surreal act of shooting a tortoise. The inclusion of a pet shop owner and the absurdity of their proposed marriage adds layers of irony and humor.

The very chaos of love and infedilty wrapped up in humour, I guess when all is said and done it\'s the only thing we can do. I admire your style. 🌹

The chaos of the various themes mimics life\'s chaos and the distracted conversations those of daily life where no one really understands anyone but pretends they do. Various needs undesired pushed upon unwary and undesiring dupes as we fumble our way through another day. A wonderful read Paul and a fave

Sex Addict

Made me tired just reading it...but there you go - nobody\'s perfect... and being an octogenarian does not mean I have more tentacles with which to help her out...

Your poem aims to critique the superficiality of contemporary relationships, highlighting the search for deeper fulfillment amidst fleeting pleasures. It serves as a commentary on the complexities of sexual identity and the impact of casual relationships on personal satisfaction.nicely done

No matter how much we climb the past may always be in sight, unfortunately it\'s easier said than done to forget it. What we can do is accept it and move forward learning from it. 🌹
