The Great Journey Home
Cloie said:

Your poem tenderly expresses a longing for solace and peace. The imagery of flying with an angel away from a harsh world evokes a sense of seeking refuge and comfort. It beautifully portrays a heartfelt desire for release and tranquility. Well done!

Death In Verona
Cloie said:

Your retelling of Romeo and Juliet\'s story is truly captivating. The depth of emotion you infuse into their tale is remarkable. Despite the obstacles posed by their feuding families, you portray their love as an unstoppable force, which is incredibly moving. As Shakespeare said, \"The course of true love never did run smooth,\" and your narrative beautifully illustrates this sentiment. The imagery you use, such as the metaphor of \"a million lightning bolts,\" vividly conveys the intensity of their connection. The drama in the narrative emphasizes its timeless allure. The climax, depicting Romeo and Juliet\'s tragic end, is handled with poignant detail and depth. The uncertainty surrounding their fate in the afterlife evokes a profound sense of longing and melancholy, yet there\'s a glimmer of hope that they might reunite beyond mortal constraints. Your retelling skillfully captures both the beauty and tragedy of this enduring love story from literature.

Now Teddy this could be the last goodbye from one departing or just the acknowledgment of a dream coming on. Beautiful and serene in any sense, hope it\'s the latter.

Death In Verona
sorenbarrett said:

I know that this is an ancient tale going back before Matteo Bandello\'s original tale that became a great cover by Shakespeare. Others before him covered it as well so I guess it was well known. It is a great love story with all that a love story needs, forbidden love being the greatest. It has a great twist at the end and is most tragic. However I believe love never dies and is only transformed so what ever you believe as far as afterlife, transformed existence, etc. they can not be kept apart. You have done a most marvelous job of condensing a long play or story into a short poem, brevity is the job of a poet. Well done.

I love your version of one of my favorite plays. Each time I\'ve seen it I keep hoping that somehow it will have a happier ending, but alas it is not to be. You\'ve made it so easy and pleasurable to enjoy, Thank you dear Teddy!

Although not much of a betting man, I\'ll bet my love for Sharon that Romeo and Juliet did join together in love\'s most sacred place and still live there today. Very well penned Teddy. ❀️🌹

Death In Verona
Doggerel Dave said:

From all reports the end is roughly right - they did both cark it, didn\'t they Teddy.... As is blindingly obvious, my knowledge of this play is not great, but your version sounds very Shakespearian to me... and if perchance there maybe some variations, then this can only be a tribute to your creativity and versatility.

Dear Lady T ..
I imagine with ease, even the great Bard himself would give this version his thumbs up and verily .. πŸ‘πŸ‘it gets mine as well .. I\'ve been to Verona, but only once and stood looking up at the balcony there and just wondered ..

Here, have one of these, as well🌹

Sometimes, they find one another and it lasts forever. They would tell you how very fortunate they were. Romeo and Juliet lasted a lifetime.

\'Tis because, as a grumpy old bugger, I believe that most poets don\'t be within a bum\'s scratch of working out wot \'love\' really is..... I kno I shouldn\'t a writ this... I just kno I shouldn\'t... I kno (fades quickly towards the horizon never to be heard...of...again...)

A thought profound set in a poem. Yes is it because opposites attract? Is it because in this world of billions the odds of finding one match is so small? Poignant and well stated.

Wonderful emotive words Teddy but you have found your way through the grief as many, including me, have done in our lives.

Grieving Heart
Cassie58 said:

Grief is totally debilitating dear Teddy and I admit have experienced my fair share of it too. You describe it so well here, when it’s impossible to navigate those overwhelming feelings. You have to endure the waves until the strength of them wanes and at times that can seem never ending. The darkest clouds in an unforgiving sky. Oh yes, I have been there too. Great metaphors used here in a fine piece of writing. Have a happy Tuesday dear poet.

Your poem vividly portrays life as a tumultuous ocean, with dreams lying unfulfilled in a dying heart. It\'s a powerful exploration of resilience and hope. Great job!
