Good write Paul. We could each write a \'Silent Poem\'. No words in it, and as few or many verses as we wish! Eh? lol.

Paul, this one chills me…raw, solemn, and stripped of sentiment. You’ve given silence a body and it speaks loudly. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This poem is a bucket of emotion full of leaks draining its contents in falling droplets. A powerful poem that falls freely in emotional associations.

Paul, you wrote this with restraint that makes it devastating. No sentiment, just truth. That last glance...“Old soldier”...says everything. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Deeply haunting, dark but soft, sad but peaceful, reverent one might say. Great images set the scene and it read as if from a novel. Well crafted

Paul, this is brilliant…biblical parody at its sweetest and strangest. You turned confectionery chaos into scripture. I was grinning all the way through. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Maybe not the staff but surely the shaft that one will surely not see the promised land. A sweet tale of a confectioner\'s delight. Well done Paul

Paul, this is classic you...deadpan, escalating, and wickedly funny. From flowers to stockings to the mother-in-law…a full comedy arc in one breath. Well done and thanks for the much needed laugh.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A fun read Paul it is funny were minds wander and especially when listening to what we don\'t want to hear. Wandering minds can get one into trouble.

Do we ever find out that price of fish?! lol. Strangely, in Biblical verses, it\'s some of the young women that are seen as busybodies, gossips, tittle-tattlers, etc. There are \'old wives tales\' mentioned too. Is it the wives or the tales that are old, or both? lol.

My friend, this is comedy gold…deadpan and perfectly timed. The circular rhythm makes the absurdity feel like small talk turned existential. Well done and thanks for the much needed laugh. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Love the way this turns the corner and travels in reverse down a parallel path. An enjoyable read.

There is something too real about this to be poetry but at the same time too poetic to be real. I worry more when someone stops that they want my wallet. A good read and a fave

This one really leans into dark comedy, Paul. I found myself laughing and wincing at the same time. The way you mix grief, chaos, and absurdity makes the father’s presence feel larger than life, even in death. That final twist with the rocket is such a wild, unforgettable image, an irreverent but strangely fitting. Thanks for sharing such a bold, mischievous piece. 🕊️🙏

The whole thing is a beautiful wreck...dark wit, loss, and release stitched together with a pyromaniac grin. “His comfort and joy” lands like a final cruel gift. Brilliant, Paul. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Paul, this is master-class storytelling. Pacing, voice, and irony all in perfect lockstep. The Sergeant’s world is madness wrapped in reason...and that’s exactly what makes it unforgettable. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

You know, I’ve come to the conclusion that the Sergeant isn’t actually in the army at all: the army is in his book. Orders, timetables, even duels… they all just bend around whatever chapter he’s on. The poor Colonel thought he was in charge, but really, he was just another chess piece waiting to get knocked over when the eyes started rolling. And honestly, I don’t even want him to finish that anger management book, because the day he does, the war’s over, one way or another.
