There was a Fashion sometime back, when People would have the top of their Shorts sticking up over the trousers, so people could see the Brand Name. 🤔. I can relate to this Poem. In the Past I\'d look at Someone with envy for what they had. But there\'s a flip side: Maybe Someone looked at us in the same way.
An enjoyable Read. A fave.

A poetic vow made over the sacrificial fire of shame. Having less than those around you sensitizes a child to what it means to have and often burns in a desire to acquire so as to never feel that lack again. This write puts all this in perspective of a tale of childhood. Nicely written my friend

What a graceful acrostic, Arqios. Memory, friendship, and yearning all sit together softly here...and the whole piece feels like holding onto the warmth of a day that has already passed. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Nostalgia in a song title that has inspired more songs, covers and played more than any other song. It evokes golden memories and regret filling the heart with emotion of all types. Love gained and lost. A lovely write my friend

Nicely done. Your poem focuses on the tender moments shared, the emotional journey of overcoming shyness, and the transformative power of love. There is a sense of wonder and appreciation for the relationship depicted, emphasizing how these moments enrich life.

Cryptic your poetry often subtle requires multiple readings to catch the nuances in rhyme and meter that lead to deep feelings and buried emotions. They are masterful my friend and not nearly as appreciated as they deserve. This poem took three readings to watch the emotions grow and bloom. It indeed is wonderful. Another fave my friend

What a graceful little poem, my friend. There is mortality here, but also preservation…beauty fades, yet something essential remains in what was truly felt and received. Really lovely, Arqios. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This feels like in the past, what once was but no more.
The love has gone, leaving only the fragrant scent.

Thomas W Case said:
There’s a damn delicate tension here between fading beauty and lasting authenticity—the wilted petals still carry their fragrance, even as immortality slips beyond reach. “These are only blooms / to smell and feel and see” gives it a humble little defiance, as if the poem refuses to pretend it needs to be anything more than something real.

I love this one metaphorically, the wording and meaning. It is gentle but yet so firm, in its lightness there is a heavy meaning. Nicely worded my friend and another fave

This is just brilliant. \" No pilgrim rests here. No stranger lingers. I am only a bridge. as if that is not enough. And the question \"what do you span\" is so on target. Nice. Very nice.
