Wow, powerful and captures the clash between expectation and reality in professional environments. We all need to practise empathy, patience and understanding. We barely see the humans behind the roles any longer.

Shivers, my hair stands on end as those last lines punctuate and repeat: \"I am here, I am here and it is good.\" Sweet DW!

Just being here is good enough. A wonderful poem of proclamation of one’s existence and the joy and exuberance that it brings. Nicely imaged this poem, paints the picture in words

Emotive words David, I cannot understand why lovers cheat, I could never do it. Hope all gets well soon.

Search feelings are not to be made fun of or joked about. They are deep never healing wounds that continue to bleed throughout a lifetime. A graphic and raw poem.

Wow. A man minus a heart. That infidelity surely has created a mountain of pain. Felt this one David. Loss of trust is a killer.

Oh man, DW, that has remained frozen. I hope the lower bill has not added another freezing to that frozenness 🥶

I am at a point of agreement with Soren here. To go further would be repetitious. The darkness has its light. And you brought that DW. Cheers.

In its darkness, this poem shines. It has many great lines too many to site in fact hole versus in this poem, stand out. It reads as if it were a bit of Dantes Inferno, a bit of the book of revelations Bosch, painting it crawls out of the darkness And shouts at those that will hear. And cynicism and sarcasm it speaks of a God that is unfair, unjust, invisible, and unreachable a sadistic God who plays with the lives of his creations. Very nicely written I enjoyed this poem a great deal.

A very dark story with a very dark ending. Clover wording and rhyme make this almost a dark child’s nursery rhyme.

I ENJOYED THIS.
I felt your passion. I learned a bit about Australia that I didn’t know and I agree with the concept of pain tribute to those who have reached the mark in life where they have impacted many and you did that and it was great. I got a Music question for you but not in the middle of this really great poem that you wrote sooner. I’ll hit you with a private message. Very cool. I cool.

It scares me and thrills me both to have the last say and to give it to whatever audience comes my way. She’d done well though!

Goosebumps and shivers DW…hadn’t thought about Carriage 3 in a long while. I was in upper primary school learning to bowl rather than pitch… was meditating about Granville about a week ago or so wondering if I would ever pay them homage in poetry- you’ve well and truly upped the bar!!! 🤲🏻👍🏻👍🏻 (Liked and faved mate)

Wow, The ending had me stunned. I wasn’t expecting that at all. At least their final moments were together and they weren’t alone. I am still shell shocked David. A great read.

Poignancy lives in your words . I really like the feeling that would disaster so closely over so is the pain and whatever brief interim that defines a positive transition I like that it’s a good piece Mr. Wakeling.
