Uncertainty
Thomas W Case said:
This carries a strong physical immediacy—like the body reacting before the mind has time to negotiate anything.
The tension is palpable in the imagery: heat, steel, blankness, containment.
What stands out most is the shift from internal overwhelm to external command—the moment where the relationship flips into expulsion.
The ending lands blunt and decisive, and that sharpness gives the whole piece its weight.

Sounds like the ex, especially with the reference, hit the road Jack.
The only other person that instils that fear is the taxman.
Some you don\'t want to meet on a dark night, or even in the day light.

Well written. This poem centers on the poet\'s physical and emotional reactions to someone who commands a presence. This includes feelings of fear and anxiety, the sensation of being trapped, and the overwhelming impact of the other person\'s emotions.

I\'d rather agree with arqios that what\'s essentially meant is the birth of a poem. Nicely done.

When ever I hear the Sounds out of my Window, It reminds me of \'Rear Window\' and Jimmy Stewart watching the Neighbours. The day in motion.
A fave right here .

Soren, what caught me most was the progression itself...one moment you\'re flying kites and skinning your knees, and before you know it you\'re looking back across decades. That steady march forward gives this real emotional weight. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Yes, sounds like some mindfulness there. That can be useful, though some of it has eccentric elements in it, I think.

Nicely written. Your poem emphasizes the importance of being attuned to one\'s environment, suggesting that inspiration can be found in the mundane aspects of life. It reflects a broader theme of mindfulness and the transformative power of observation in the creative process.

Great to witness the birthing of a poem. Birthing is not always the most accurate word 🙏🕊️

This feels like a life passing in a single breath—almost like flipping through snapshots that blur as they speed up. There’s something really powerful in how simply you move from innocence to age without pausing to explain it.

It\'s like you put you watch down for a minute and life has sprinted ahead.
This is why youth is wasted on the young. On the plus side, as you get older you realise there is a thing called mornings.
Okay, just pop back into my coffin now.
