Paul, I’m struck by how you hold grief, grit, and wit in the same space. Jack becomes this stubborn symbol of survival and the final twist lands with warmth instead of cliché. It’s a generous piece, my dear friend. Well done! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Loved the tale told with such good bits of humor. In poetic style with rhyme as well. Gave me a smile but I can imagine that getting down on one knee with only one leg would not be easy, would hurt twice as much with all the weight on one knee touching stone and don\'t even mention the getting back up again. The metaphor is subtle in this poem but some of the best part. Loved it

Paul, this is comedy carnage…the glass eye, the vicar disguise, the runaway Rolls, the spiraling logic…each part tops the last. It reads like a fever dream delivered with deadpan precision. Completely hysterical. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Paul, this one had me laughing…the sheer chaos of this “letter” and the way the voice barrels forward without a filter is classic you. Dark humor done right. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

That\'s telling him! That\'ll teach him not to come down the chimney and fill our lounges with soot. It\'s why I hate Christmas morning - gotta spend it every year cleaning up the lounge cos some fat beardy bloke in welly boots and red costume descended down it! heehee.

Well said, enjoy your humor.🤣 Your poem \"Dear Santa\" revolves around the humorous and frustrated tone of a husband expressing his dissatisfaction with Santa Claus for a poorly considered gift. This letter illustrates the complexities of relationships, expectations, and miscommunication through the lens of holiday gift-giving.

My friend, I’ve seen echoes of this kind of heartbreak up close…the innocence on one side, the ruin on the other. You captured that unbearable distance with painful clarity. Well done, Paul! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Sorrowful poem, well expressed. The emotional turmoil experienced by a child who yearns for a nurturing presence but is met with the harsh reality of a mother\'s drug dependency.

It is most sad that we do not consider the effect of our actions on others. Whether suicide, drug addiction, irresponsibility of any type and how others close to us are left with what we have done, financially, emotionally, a burden left behind, our unpaid debt. A sad write Paul and a fave

Paul, this cracked me up…the chaos, the characters, the absurdity piling on line by line. It’s dark, funny, and so perfectly off-kilter. And of course…the dog steals the whole show. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A wonderful piece that in a way is a satire of the blackness in which we cast death. Humor the best of remedies for sadness and grief is spread thick here. Confusion reigns and out of confusion we celebrate. Actually I grieve more for the life of a faithful dog than for many men. Loved it Paul

Well said . Yet sad. Your poem serves to reflect on the nature of grief, community, and the absurdity of life, using humor to explore the emotional responses to death in a light-hearted manner. It reminds readers that loss, even of a pet, can bring people together and reveal the complexities of human relationships.

The poem serves to explore the absurdity and complexity of modern existence, highlighting the disconnect between human aspirations and the often harsh realities dictated by technology and societal expectations. It questions the reliability of both technology and financial systems, ultimately suggesting a sense of disillusionment with progress.
