This is devastating in its simplicity.
The repetition makes the silence around the child feel unbearable.

Some things and some people don\'t seem to do as you please, or if they do it is not for long. I expect that this night visitor grew tired and fell asleep abandoning his post. Oh well such is life. Good write Paul

Your poem captures a moment of reflection during a hospital visit, focusing on the presence of a teddy bear and the contrasting emotions it evokes.

Man At Peace
Friendship said:
The poem centers around a man reflecting on Christmas memories, particularly the joy brought by family and the celebration of life, juxtaposed with the grief of losing a loved one. It captures the bittersweet nature of remembrance and the solace found in embracing past experiences.

A special time in more ways than one. A time of peace. It leaves mixed feelings of peace and sorrow. Well done Paul

The Twelve days Of Christmas
Friendship said:
The poem presents a humorous and chaotic twist on the traditional \"The Twelve Days of Christmas.\" Instead of a joyful celebration, it depicts a series of absurd and darkly comedic events that escalate into a farcical situation. The central theme revolves around the absurdity and consequences of the narrator\'s actions, culminating in a surreal and messy holiday experience.

As a child this was one of my favorite Christmas songs due to the repetition in it. Growing older it grew old and finely I in my old age grew to hate the Christmas commercialism and sense of obligation. Now you brought all this up again after I had done so much work to suppress it, Thanks Paul and a Merry Christmas to you too (lol) A fun read my friend

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

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.
