Oh, Teddy! I\'ve certainly had my share of those evenings, although these days the music is enough for me. LOL! I think we\'ve all had moments when we needed to have a good cry and then laugh at ourselves afterward. Loved this, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Dear, Teddy,
Rum and music a delicious cocktail and well worth the hangover. My predilection was guinness and some drunken companion reciting a Banjo Patterson poem before blacking out. I enjoyed these reflections of yours, wildish in ways but cheerful and harmless overall in the spirit and essence of music. A joy to read.
Fond regards,
Tony.

Is that big black round thing a CD.
Waking up with a sore head, those were the days.
Okay, that was yesterday.
Music was my first love.

Alcohol hides it and music sooths it or sometimes magnifies it. I hope those times are past my friend.

A Marvelous Mistake
Thomas W Case said:
Powerful work, sweet Teddy. There’s an honest human contradiction at the heart of this, because a woman can be standing on the brink of marriage, raising a glass of prosecco, and still quietly confess that what she wants most is to be free. The questions that follow are the keeper for me, especially whether we can ever fly above the baggage we carry, because the poem recognizes that freedom isn’t simply escaping other people but learning what we’re carrying, why we carry it, and whether we’re finally ready to put some of it down.

You\'ve hit the nail on the head here Shirley. A great description of what grief is.

The Aftermath
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Oh, Teddy, this is heartbreaking. I\'ve seen what severe storms (internal and external weather) can do, and it never gets easier witnessing that kind of destruction. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The Aftermath
Tony Grannell said:
Dear, Teddy,
A storm itself can be horrifying but the aftermath can be so saddening to the point of tears. I could never conquer the haiku, what you have done in thirteen words would take me about eight stanzas and many months to describe. So, hats off to you - a perfect haiku.
Fond regards,
Tony.

Teddy, I’ve felt alone in a room full of people…so I don’t automatically expect solitude to feel worse. Sometimes I’d welcome the breathing room. Great write, my dearest friend.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Some people just need partners.
Some need to be apart.
Some prefer animals to humans.
Some have broken hearts.
Freedom is doing what you please
The girl next door says so, and she\'s a tease.

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

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.

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.

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.
