David Main\'s Treasury of English Sonnets first introduced me to the comment from dear Shakespeare\'s generation regarding his work by one Francis Mere, I think it was, about the \"coterie of friends...[privy to and enjoying] his sugared sonnets--\", a reality few, if any of us know. Either that, or else the world 400 years later is too craven to offer such favor as poetry meet ups feature souls more keen on themselves than each other\'s excellences. Exquisitely rendered with charming imagery and a haunting poignancy, thank you for sharing.

In anything quality over quantity is better, yet it is achieving that quality that is the struggle, enjoyed the read

Indeed it is true that in poetry it is not quantity but quality that is the issue. Very nicely said

Anger seeded by taunts, but then \"Replaced by a sense of resolve,\". I think you have this figured out.. Well done.

So nice. \"burying the past in shallow graves\" revolves into \"some wounds will never truly mend.\", very nice.

Well penned arqios, sadly it is a part of life. But not all relationships follow this path, some follow a path lined with roses along the way. ๐ŸŒน

Breaking up is never easy and, truth, some wounds never truly heal. I have a few of them myself. This is an easy fave for me my friend. Well done! ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ‘

A superbly written piece dear arqios

We deceive ourselves,
clutching memories like
fragments of a broken mirror,
forgetting the faces we wore,
the warmth that once held us close,
burying the past
in shallow graves.

Isn\'t it truly a tragedy when two people feel there is nothing left to say or do. Absolutely heartfelt my friend. ๐ŸŒน

This poem sings in a haunting dark fog. It is well worded and conveys well the message of past pain and hurt of burnt bridges and lost relationships. It offers little hope but the consolation that others too have walked this path. I deserves a fave

Breaking up isn`t easy, breaking up in the right way is even harder either way memories take a long time to fade. A lovely read.

I can understand this arqios but it is harder when your loved one dies as my wife did five years ago.

ABBA!!!! Oh, I love them! Quintessentially perfect for this painfully eloquent number, where love is in the entire affair, I wonder since that\'s the only glue which holds. [Keeping it playing on repeat...] Exquisite and rendered superbly with perfect imagery and a bitter poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.

A determination to rise above

That takes much courage but is the only way to deal with the situation. Stand up to them, then they will go elsewhere. Much wisdom in your fine words arqios.
