Tristan Robert Lange said:
Paul, this whole piece moves like a hard march through trauma...jungle, mockery, fear, pain, then that stark final drop into ghosthood. You told the story with grit and unflinching rhythm. Well done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Paul, this piece carries such quiet bravery…the struggle, the fear, the fragments of peace by the sea. You held his story gently without softening it. A powerful, compassionate write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

It is not just the words but the feel of this poem that gets the fave. A man half broke that comes and goes from one state to another. A lovely write

My friend, this had me cracking up…absolute chaos from start to finish. It reads like a courtroom circus wrapped in a nursery rhyme…wild, irreverent, and hilarious. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Yes, now we know the true details of that nursery rhyme! lol. And if they bound Jack\'s injured head, that vinegar and brown paper must have stung! Like salt to an open wound. Ouch!
That Grand Old Duke of York dunno if he\'s coming or going either, and his men are getting fed up going up and down that hill too. lol.

I always considered Jack and Jill was true but its just dawned on me - of course its not true - who would go UP a hill to fetch a pail of water. That apart a great fun write - enjoyed the read!

So it was the judge that broke Jack\'s crown. No mention of Jill coming after and after Jack offing did the judge come down from his elevated state? A fun read paul with a lot of memories of my childhood nursery rhymes blended in. Well done

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.

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
