I hope she checks her brakes before that steep hill.

Disaster around the corner and the square peg will come into play. Game of voodoo it seems to work well. Good one Paul

Tristan Robert Lange said:

Paul, this had me laughing all the way through. The whole thing keeps getting more catastrophically incompatible with every exchange…and somehow he still keeps convincing himself there might be hope. Absolutely hilarious, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Fishing in the wrong hole again Paul, you can\'t catch a trout in a cesspool or a tuna in a freshwater stream. A fun read my friend that proves what I always say eat freely of all that is available but avoid things that make you sick.

The Plan
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Paul, this is wickedly dark and funny as hell! 🤣 The casual way this guy goes about his work while patiently awaiting the ex-wife’s arrival makes the whole thing wonderfully twisted. Great write, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

The Plan
sorenbarrett said:

Lying to others is one thing lying to oneself is something altogether different. A lovely write Paul with deeper meaning than most want to hear. It might just be too close to the heart. Well done my friend

Great Personality

You certainly enjoy tickling the boundaries of good taste, which serves both for a good laugh and a challenge to the stiff upper lip syndrome which I understand to be an affliction possessed of Englishmen…..

Great Personality
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Oh Paul...😂 This guy doesn’t merely put his foot in his mouth, he climbs in after it and starts redecorating. By the end I’m amazed she hasn’t made good on at least one of those threats. Hilarious stuff, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

This one made me smile with the twists in plot and the fun about feigned or real recognition problems and memory. I guess it never hurts to try. Fine write Paul

Three in the morning
Doggerel Dave said:

The journey travelled is a full life story. And its the truth no three in the morning is ever the same. Subtle way to mark times passing.

Three in the morning
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Paul, this is one heck of a devastating poem! An entire relationship unfolds through fractured recollections, moving from intimacy into betrayal, separation, grief, and unanswered questions. Powerful work, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Three in the morning
sorenbarrett said:

The first thing that came to my mind was the song by Simon and Garfunkel 3 AM. This is a wonderful write Paul that focuses on the past lost and the moment of recognition in the dark moment of the early morning. Reflections are bitter sweet as one focuses on the what ifs that never will be.

Paul, this is wickedly funny…shameless, filthy, and completely committed to its own depravity. I laughed all the way through. Fantastic write, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Made me smile Paul, a fun read that was needed on a gray day. Well written my friend.

The past
Thomas W Case said:

This poem carries a quiet, wintry sorrow where nature and loss fold into one another. The final turn reframes the omen beautifully, suggesting it wasn’t fate or symbol—but life itself—that bore the true weight of tragedy.

The past
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Paul, what a haunting piece. The changing seasons, the faithful presence of the crow, and the discovery at the end all build toward a conclusion that replaces superstition with compassion. That final realization is both heartbreaking and deeply moving. Powerful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

The past
Tristan Robert Lange said:

What stayed with me most was the image of the crow lying beside her. It transforms everything that came before it, inviting the reader to see companionship where others only saw an omen. Beautifully done, Paul. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

A picture painted where time kills all and we need a better explanation which we shape into superstition. Well done my friend

What stayed with me most, Paul, was “She has a tattoo on life.” That shift from something physical to something deeply internal gives the poem its emotional center. Beautifully done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

A trailer hitch and the trailer both made of steel held together by the male and female fittings. This is a hard hitting poem of reality to some extent in many relationships. A fave my friend

Nicely written. You capture the emotional weight of loss and the way it reverberates through time, affecting both individual experiences and collective memory.

Tristan Robert Lange said:

This really hit me, Paul. You capture both the collective shock of a nation and the private grief that can become inseparable from it. Haunting and deeply affecting, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
