Because She Haunts My Dreams
Syd said:
Hi Shirley, as someone who occasionally suffers from night terrors I can somewhat relate to this. I hope your muse in the night brings you more good than bad things to write about.

Because She Haunts My Dreams
sorenbarrett said:
There are two sides to this the light and the dark just as day and night. The light of inspiration and the darkness of suffering. Insomnia is a terrible thing while dreams can be wonderful they can hold suffering as well. Nicely written \'Teddy I hope you sleep well.

A fascinating piece. I love how you\'ve personified the muse as both a source of inspiration and torment. Honest, intimate, and beautifully expressed. I liked it!

Gypsy Soul
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Oh, Teddy! This is deliciously dark, my dear! You know how much I adore a good Gothic tragedy, and you\'ve certainly indulged my darker sensibilities here. Loved it! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Gypsy Soul
sorenbarrett said:
I like the way this not only tells the story of a type of person but is an allegory for a type of person. It is descriptive in its stereotype of gypsies as fortune tellers and dress as well and it projects an image of a wanderer. Such wandering may well extend beyond the physical to the emotional and the heart. Here the person wishes to trade in this element and put down roots. Nicely written Teddy

Teddy, you know I love the spooky stuff…still, I’d want someone else in the room while I read this! Thoroughly unsettling. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Lost Soul
Thomas W Case said:
Brilliant. There’s a wonderfully unsettling tension here between the certainty of the body’s experience and the mind’s desperate attempt to explain it away, as the creaking boards, sinking mattress, and sudden cold make the unseen visitor feel terrifyingly real. “what if it is merely the quiet echo of my own skin?” is the keeper for me, because it turns the fear inward at the last moment, leaving us caught between a possible haunting and the even stranger possibility that the presence we dread is something rising from within ourselves.

Hello, Teddy,
When in fear, keep quiet, close your eyes and think of ice cream if that doesn\'t work, get the hell out of there.LOL. Well done, my friend.
Fond regards,

I think it was the presence of the halloween wench who was tragically murdered in the 16th century.
She is seeking revenge on your ancestor who stole her boyfriend.
She\'ll disappear on the 1st of November.
You sleep tight now. lol

Ever hear your own breathing echo off the pillow and covers and think it was someone else? This is the feeling I get with this poem. It is a fear a startle response reproduced in shadow where projection of ourselves becomes the threat. Nicely written my friend.

Paul Bell said:
Life is frantic when you\'re young, and you think everyone lives forever.
I think we all wanted to say things to our parents, but we were always doing something else.
Hopefully they realised that when they set us free.

Tony Grannell said:
Dear, Teddy,
Regrets, what can I say, they just linger on. May you find comfort in those who you love now to ease the pangs of past mistakes and the mistakes of others. An awfully sad poem, I must say.
May your tomorrows bring you joy,
Tony.

I Carry A Crowd in My Quiet
Tony Grannell said:
Dear, Teddy
An inspiring poem, as if speaking to yourself through an imaginary friend. In the strength of the self you seem to have found succour and acceptance and your inspirational willpower to carry on. May you continue to do so. An excellent passage of poetry. Well done, my friend.
Fond regards,
Tony.

This is deeply moving. I think what makes your poem so powerful is its honesty and its recognition of something we often realize too late: time with those we love is never as abundant as we imagine. I was particularly touched by your words about wishing you could go back twenty years. There is so much tenderness and sorrow in that simple thought. Please don\'t allow regret to overshadow the love you carried for your parents. Your poem reminds us to cherish those who are still here. Be blessed!

Oh, Teddy, this moved me. I\'ve long believed that some of the most meaningful connections in our lives happen beyond language. There\'s a kind of understanding that doesn\'t need explaining, and I\'m grateful you\'ve experienced that. Great addition to your My Raven collection. Much love, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

In my interpretation, I see this as something similar to grief. The raven symbolizes as a lost loved one and the person holding the raven is the dead person’s relative/friend. The raven seems to be looking after the person to soothe them and know that they are okay and in a better place, they are no longer in pain. And when they finally finish grieving, the raven leaves, both able to move on. This is just my personal opinion but nonetheless, great poem :))

sorenbarrett said:
A somber write that speaks to mood and self reflection. I may be wrong but I read it as calm instead of clam. To me the raven is a calming agent and does not leave until this is accomplished. The line that hit me the hardest was the last one \"That I\'d carried the crowd in my quiet\" this line is very poetic and gets a fave

What a beautiful reflection on the simple pleasures of life! I love how you transform an ordinary bus ride into an adventure of imagination, where sunflowers dance, oak trees applaud, and birds create their own orchestra. Your poem reminds us that beauty is all around us if we only take the time to notice. And what a lovely thought to end with: how lucky we are simply to be alive. Thank you for sharing this! I\'d like to invite you to read my poem, Ode to the Ukrainian Sunflower. I wrote it roughly four years ago.

A lovely reflection on the human capacity to find light even in moments of darkness. I especially like the image of that special cloud emerging from our souls. It reminds us that hope and joy often come from within, regardless of what surrounds us. A gentle and uplifting poem!
