Nowhere Man
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Paul, this is one heck of a poem. The rhythm carries it forward beautifully, and the portrait of the nowhere man remains intriguingly out of focus throughout. The more you learn about him, the less certain he seems to become...which feels exactly right for a character like this. Excellent write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Paul the title reminded me of the Beatles song with the same title. Nicely written is speaks of what appears to be a person but with rereading may be metaphoric for something other than human. He may be nothing more than an archetype that exists in us all. Well done my friend

Mr McIntosh
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Paul, what a fun read! 😄 Every time I thought I knew where this was headed, you sent the story off in a different direction. I will admit one disappointment, however...I spent the entire piece hoping Mr. McIntosh would meet Granny Smith. Alas, some stories end in tragedy. 🤣 🍎🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

An engaging story where the interest is in the interaction and play back and forth between the characters. Well written

The Child Has Gone
sorenbarrett said:
A wonderful poem with a powerful message that can be taken multiple ways depending on you point of view. One parents should watch more closely, two the world is a dangerous place children need close supervision, three the child in playing a joke had it backfire and justice was served. I prefer to see it as a most unfortunate set of circumstances that should be shared with other children to avoid future problems. Well done

Paul, this hit me hard. Four lines, yet it carries the force of something much larger. The contrast between physical power and the power of ideas lands immediately and leaves an impression. Powerful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Indeed in large print and so true the gun may only wound but the pen will bleed you dry as any banker or attorney will tell you. Nicely written and a fave. At least it is not in fine print

Paul, you got me with this one. The back-and-forth is absolutely delightful...every time it feels like one person gains the upper hand, the other fires right back. I found myself laughing all the way through. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This seems like a bump in the road, soon recovered and only a few screws loose. Maybe a rattle or two but nothing serious unless you count a blown engine. The car will be around for a while just call a tow truck.

Paul, I’ve known poems where grief speaks loudly, but what struck me here is how quietly this one carries it. The sorrow flows like the river you describe…steady, patient, and impossible to ignore. This one lingered with me. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A miscarriage of metaphor, when a woman goes through loss so does the man. I\'m thinking there\'s more to this one Paul. I cannot believe the Henry Novak story, the greatest miscarriage of justice a family can suffer. A great write that as you can see has my mind churning. 🌹

Well written. Your poem revolves around themes of loss, longing, and the complex emotions surrounding motherhood and guilt. It narrates the journey of a woman who grapples with her past, particularly the loss of a child, and the emotional turmoil that accompanies it.

Metaphoric as all great myths and stories this poem presents the journey of desire and sin falling to loss and sadness redeemed in guilt and repentance transformed into holiness and the sacred. Well done my friend and a fave

I\'ve been cited for running several red lights before and yellow is the same as green for me. It\'s those stop signs that have me worried when I\'m half way through the intersection and notice a cop watching. Usually it is the speeding violations that they complain about the most and watch out for the accidents caused by a blown tire they result in life long penalties. A wonderful fun read Paul and a fave

Paul, you got me with this one. 🤣 The absurdity just keeps escalating, and somehow it never loses its footing. What starts as a ridiculous conversation about fashion and traffic lights turns into a full-blown battle of stubbornness and bruised egos. Thoroughly entertaining, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Paul, I love how this feels both apocalyptic and deeply personal. The poem moves through addicts, outcasts, hospitals, bridges, and death with the logic of a dream…or perhaps a nightmare. It lingers long after the last line. Well written, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
