Such a sad poem - childhood can be so cruel - I hate to think how many children are still going through tough times. I\'m sorry you suffered so badly.

Strange things happen at sea
Cheeky Missy said:

Sorry, I\'ve been out of the loop and shall likely continue for another day thanks to my insane schedule, but to have missed this beauty is unforgivable. La! How deliciously rendered to effect, conjuring thereby the gripping poignancy of such misadventures until I nearly swoon! Awesome! I love it! Thank you so VERY much for sharing.

Paranoid
Doggerel Dave said:

So I present to you a golden oldie (may still be current for all I know) from times past: \"just because you\'re paranoid doesn\'t mean they ain\'t out to get you\"

Good riff I thoroughly enjoyed.

Champion effort there, T. That \'s what you were doing while you were away?
Now please don\'t take offense, but I do like your modern stuff better.....

Another great yarn, Tallisman.

The Heist
Cheeky Missy said:

Are you truly allowed to leave me helpless and shaking in laughter?! You\'re a regular riot with this, I declare! My la. Excellently rendered with a gripping poignancy and superb humor, not to mention great imagery. Thank you very much for sharing.

Wow. Great piece. Lovely storytelling. Very rarely one gets to read poetic stories.

Doggerel Dave said:

If you continue in this fashion T, you will turn me into a cynic, distrustful of the world and its ways......🙃

It was smooth compulsive reading, I was unable to leave until the very end. Great stuff.

Cheeky Missy said:

Well, you succeeded again at keeping me riveted and on the proverbial edge of my seat, reading a different perspective on the familiar tale of only one set of footprints in the sand and of guys who fall prey to the worst kind of girls. Wow! I\'m speechless. Awesome! Spectacular. Beautifully rendered with a strikingly haunting poignancy and excellent imagery. Thank you for sharing! P.S. you made me laugh too, repeatedly to boot.

Thanks C M, glad you liked it…. The next one will not be so macabre! Thanks for reading…

Obsession
Cheeky Missy said:

If nothing else, after successfully keeping me riveted despite the length and trend to be macabre, this ghastly beauty sent me chasing down the movie it dredged up thereby. Excellently rendered with a timely haunting sense of Death, imagery to suit and a poignancy which put me on the edge of my seat, this is erm, charming. Thank you for sharing.

Sinister given a tribute in some very rich poetry. A tale well told.
Faving this for the construction rhyme and flow, mate.

sorenbarrett said:

I loved how this poem leaves the reader to imagin the outcome of each step the forshadowing and the back and forth in this dark poem of passion. It reminds me of the song by Nick Cave and the bad seed \"where the wild roses grow\" Dark and haunting

Emotions well captured. Deep lines and very well penned.

Hunted around for an appropriate response, but couldn\'t find one - plenty of empathy, but no words.
Stay safe.

Vivamus, moriendum est.
Cheeky Missy said:

Your username was one of my favorites in Sir Walter Scot\'s Waverly series. That being said, this is downright lovely, with subtly deeper implications just below the tantalizing surface. Fascinatingly rendered in seeming forthright simplicity, it\'s beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

Doggerel Dave said:

Great to see you back, Tallisman.
As a \'tribute\' to the Troubles, that will take some beating. It has a visceral immediacy about it.
\'Sorry - but I have to ask: based on actual experience, or imaginative interpretation?

1969
Cheeky Missy said:

Goodnight! I\'m favoriting this to keep it, not because it is lovely or charming but graphically tendered as a memento to what they want none to know or remember. Beautifully rendered with ghastly poignancy and haunting imagery in testament to being Irish. Thank you for sharing. It makes my blood begin to boil.

Doggerel Dave said:

Thanks for your return, T. (And for me a rhymer always wins the day)
A relationship seen through a least a couple of broken mirrors.
Any hopes?

Broken
Doggerel Dave said:

What\'s up, Tallisman? Where are you?

Distance is a good healer.

Let\'s see you back here. You are missed....
