A Marvelous Mistake
Tony Grannell said:
Dear, Teddy,
A very interesting poem on freedom, a word often used buy never really understood. I suppose to be free from someone, something, some ordeal, event or worry, but to be totally free, I think is impossible, as in that old adage, free as a bird, well, birds are far from free, in constant search for food, fear of predators, raising young and so on. Sleep perhaps is freedom unbound, it\'s just a pity we are not consciousely there to enjoy it. lol. Well done, my friend.
Wishing you as much freedom as possible,
Tony.

Psychological and existential questions that no one wants the answers to posed in this poem. And why do they not want the answers, because they would lead to an admission no one wants to make and choices too damn hard. Soaked in a technological world of ease we are accustomed to entitlement, where criticism is our vent for minor frustrations that we have no answer for. Nicely done Teddy

😂 Teddy, “could have been”? You’ve got graves, crying angels, ashes, evil, and everybody’s dead. I think you qualify! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I know it\'s not, but it does have the halloween effect going on.
Losing your parents is a tough one, leaves a void that can\'t be filled.
Hope you\'re pushing through.

Tony Grannell said:
Dear, Teddy,
It\'s the horror of grief that makes this poem so effective, as if composed in a graveyard on the \'grey stone beds\' of loss. Excellent and then some. My sincere condolences on the passing of your father.
Fond regards,
Tony.

Heart of Stone
Thomas W Case said:
There’s a damn desolate grief here, where the strange image of wood refusing to burn makes the whole world feel wrong, as though even the rules of reality have collapsed along with everything the speaker knew. The ending is the keeper for me, because the strong pulse against the silence of everyone being gone leaves the speaker trapped inside a living body with nobody left to hear it. Excellent work, sweet Teddy.

Squeezing the Lemons into Lemonade
Tony Grannell said:
Dear, Teddy,
Manoeuvring through life in a lemon grove midst a zillion little yellow suns of citrus fruits, but all lemons are not the same. An unusual poem and the knowledge therein would quench any poet\'s thirst for wisdom. I love the unusual. Excellent!
Fond regards,
Tony.

Paul Bell said:
Yes, crashing into lemons can bring about a grave ending.
Having done a banana split on a date talking apples and oranges, I mentioned to her she had a great pear.
She blew me a raspberry from a six gun resulting in lemon meringue.

Teddy, I’ve always thought grief and love are tangled together in ways we never completely unravel. Sometimes the ache itself tells us just how much something mattered. You captured that gently here. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Paul Bell said:
Beautifully summed up, and no doubt you could add more.
Grief I suppose is the ultimate loss that shuts down life for a time.
It can also get you climbing mountains and running marathons for good causes.

Dear, Teddy,
A relentless struggle out of the throes of grief, a guilt striven path not easly traveled but with your determination and grit you\'ll breath in happiness again. Your poem is inspiring and fills the heart with hope. Well done indeed.
Wishing you much happiness,
Tony.
