Thigh Length Boots
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Paul, “Two strangers, heart-to-heart” is the line that anchors this for me. In the middle of lust, money, and performance…there’s that fragile flash of honesty. It shifts the tone from physical to vulnerable in a single turn. That’s what lingers. A fantastic write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Friendship said:
Your Poem revolves around a fleeting encounter between two individuals, marked by desire and the transactional nature of their relationship. The mention of \"thigh-length boots\" symbolizes allure and power, while the references to money and emotional conflicts highlight the underlying desperation and loneliness present in both characters.

Reminds me of that Nancy Sinatra song \"These boots are made for walking\" A seductive read if not outright sexual. A proposition in poetic form.

Paul, this is pure farce wrapped in sharp social commentary. The escalating surgery talk, the fixation on cost, the absurd final punchline…it’s designed to shock and amuse at the same time. You push the envelope and make it theatrical. Definitely memorable. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Well written , I really enjoy your Humor. Your poem humorously explores the dynamics of a couple\'s conversation about body image, desires, and the absurdity of societal expectations regarding physical appearance. It juxtaposes the desire for cosmetic surgery with the humorous and often absurd expectations that the couple have of each other.

Men have paid for pleasure since the dawn of time it is the trump card that women hold. The problem being that in making your woman more attractive it draws more flies. Happy is the man that has an ugly wife. Vinegar works well as a perfume for flies. Good write Paul

Lost track approximately halfway as to who was who (please substitute ‘whom’ if felt appropriate or technically correct). Themes would appear from my perspective to include beer, unidentified refrigerator and some bed hopping (or should that be ‘crawling’?) Is this a rewarding response to your entertaining piece?

Paul, this is pub-banter brilliance. The escalating absurdity from lovers to beer to heart attacks builds into that final punchline. It’s less about betrayal and more about priorities… and that’s what makes it funny. “Keep the bloody fridge.” seals it. Well done, mate! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Your humor is noteworthy, and your imagination is quite vivid. As a child, my mother would remind me to close the refrigerator, saying that nothing grows inside after opening it. Your poem explores themes of betrayal, heartbreak, and the absurdity of romantic relationships, with a particular focus on the poet\'s feelings of being wronged and humiliated by their former partner.

I am quite sure I\'ve read this one in the past, it has a bitter sweet taste, of course there is humour in everything if we look hard enough, but a woman who cheats and also takes the fridge, well she is practically taking the biscuit. A heartfelt write with an ironic edge. Great write dear Paul. 🌹

In this humor there is a message Paul priorities set the limit on values and even they can fall when one becomes sober. A good write my friend

Had to do this in two parts, big nap in between (not as young as I useterbe and the activity was at times, uh, a little intense) At base nothing more than yer average male/female mating dance, and I predict they will eventually live happily ever after.

Paul, this is a riot from start to finish…sharp, chaotic, and brilliantly paced. The back-and-forth never loses momentum, and the tension between irritation and growth keeps it humming. By the end, the payoff is totally earned. Smart and wildly entertaining. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Autopsy
Thomas W Case said:
This reads like a bruised prayer, not a threat — pain as purging, survival as ritual.
Dark, relentless, and honest about what it costs to keep breathing when hope won’t show up.

Love it! That refrain about letting the blood out does heavy lifting here, Paul. It turns autopsy into ritual, not spectacle. The insistence sharpens the dread. Well done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Autopsy
sorenbarrett said:
Had a neighbor that was a mortician had a rather dark sense of humor. Let the blood out of the body is that were the idea of vampires came from? A rather morbid feel here. The Egyptians took the organs out, seems like a lot of lost effort to me. Jack the ripper did it with passion. I wonder who\'s work it was to put them back inside. A poem that holds the attention as if the body was being autopsied along with the poem. Very nicely done my friend

Friendship said:
Wow. Well written yet so dark. Your poem \"Autopsy\" explores themes of mortality, the fragility of life, and the cathartic process of confronting death and loss. The poet suggests that to rejuvenate or \"reawaken,\" one must confront the painful aspects of existence, represented through the metaphor of blood leaving the body. Yet you leave a haunting imagery of life and its aftermath. The act of \"letting the blood out\" serves as a metaphor for emotional release and the necessity of facing the darker aspects of life.

The Mantra
Thomas W Case said:
This is darkly funny and unsettling in the best way—mania, manipulation, and menace bleeding through deadpan dialogue.
It walks the line between farce and threat, and that tension is exactly what makes it stick.

Calm now…you are on a journey…on your way to enlightenment…no… there’s a certain element of resistance there… how can you possibly compare a journey in a taxi to the delights which await you on your journey there……?
Could tell ya but it’s for each to take their own journey…

This is clever, Paul. The mantra structure lulls the reader even as the situation unravels, and the dialogue keeps tightening the psychological pressure. Funny, disturbing, and very controlled. Well done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Your poem explores themes of connection, intimacy, and the complexity of relationships through a humorous and somewhat surreal dialogue about meditation and sexual energy. It juxtaposes spiritual practices with everyday life, leading to unexpected revelations about desire and human connection.
