My friend, this is brilliantly unhinged…the gossip spiraling, identities flipping, fists flying, romances blooming, all ending with that deadpan “Was it something I said.” It’s sharp, funny, and wonderfully chaotic. Loved this one, Paul. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

The veracity of your reportage is astounding. Each character given an allotted space commensurate with their importance with respect to the occasion. Need I say more….. or less?

Your poem serves to explore the complexities of relationships and the absurdity of trying to manage them, encapsulated in the idea that despite our best intentions to change the world, we often find ourselves in chaotic and humorous situations. The concluding lines suggest a reflective tone, questioning the nature of communication and human interactions.

Now that\'s quite a story told in poetic form. A poem of a word that started a storm. A narrative of life the take and give. A word astray can ruin a perfectly good day. A fun read my friend

The Falling Snow
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Paul…I know that feeling of seeing things clearly only at the end. Your words sit in that space where loss becomes understanding, and it lands deeply. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Friendship said:

Well written, my friend, the poem \"The Falling Snow\" explores themes of inevitability, loss, and the bittersweet nature of life and relationships. It reflects on the passage of time, the consequences of choices, and the idea that fate plays a cruel hand in our lives.

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

Tristan Robert Lange said:

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.

Friendship said:

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. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
