Alarm clock
Doggerel Dave said:
Two points:
My grandmother couldn\'t sleep without a ticking, and to that end, her clock had no hands (long gone) and was wound up religiously every night.
That felt like an acknowledgement of the insomnia i actually experienced last night though without the ticking (not going to disclose why none - that would not be in keeping with the spirit of your poem!). Hard to say I enjoyed, Talismanš

This is a great use of a symbol that works all the way through the poem and stands for time and can be heard in the breathing the heart beat and clock. Lovely

The eyes of a lover

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.

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.

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.

If you continue in this fashion T, you will turn me into a cynic, distrustful of the world and its ways......š
It was smooth compulsive reading, I was unable to leave until the very end. Great stuff.

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.

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.

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
