the river carries her
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Yes indeed, my dear friend…this carries Faulkner’s ghost, but in your own cadence. The grief, the weight, the motion that cannot stop...you’ve rendered it powerfully. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ Very well done!

the old home
Tristan Robert Lange said:
My friend, this is powerful…each detail...the oaken door, the empty stairwell, the fading nursery...brings memory alive even as time erases it. A very poignant piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Stunning imagery, with a pic that magnifies the feeling of grief and loss. This is beautiful!

A fine piece, mate. Really makes you think. And love the line about time sending us a-packing.

I don\'t know what it is about the wording of this piece but it brings to mind Steinbeck so well imaged. Very nicely done Cryptic

Kevin Hulme said:
Whenever I see an old House; I often wonder about the many family saga\'s played out within the Walls. Especially Homes that go back to Victorian or Georgian times.
A fine Poem.

So true - out with the old, in with the new!
Memories are swallowed on eye pads, as meaningless as the vanity that created them.
Where\'s the grand ones?

A poem where nostalgia leaks from old pipes and shadowy ghosts reside in dust. Sadness falls in shadows with the fragrance of yesterday lost in must. A poem of loss and decay of yesterday. Lovely a fave

Very true words Rik, we are different people inside and outside our bodies but will become one at the end.

This poem is beautifully introspective and deeply evocative it captures the tension of belonging and identity with precision and grace. Love the rhyme. Nicely written.

Wow! I’ve walked this tension myself—the in-between, the not-here-not-there. You’ve given voice to that fracture in a way that feels both personal and universal. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ Love this.

Dear, arqios,
Either in step or out of step with society, the mind knows, the heart questions and the soul conquers. I\'ve always loved the expression, \'worlds away\' where the senses detect the usual but in an unusual way. I have enjoyed reading this, very much so.
Fond regards,
Tony.

Complexity put in simplicity. Feelings of duality where there is no acceptance of either out of place. This poem was written well enough that I did not need the author\'s note I could feel it as it rolled off the page. Nicely done Cryptic

week in a wink
Cheeky Missy said:
Aye in a wink, or as I rather phrase it, \"..in a blink.\" I love how this trips along gaily short and sweet with a waltzing sense of rhythm in tow. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a delightful poignancy. Thank you so very much for sharing.

“south of the equator”
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Wow, this is immense. From the Southern Cross above the sinks to the tide answering its own moon, every image maps grief, love, and history in a way only you could write. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏 Seriously, love this and an easy fave from me.

I feel a lot of the Films made in Australia in your words : \'Walkabout\' springs to mind. Very descriptive. And shows your Love of your Country.
Enjoyable Read.
