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. ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿฆโ€โฌ›

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.

Life can be like that Teddy but in my life I have always been content with sharing it with the one I love.

A Marvelous Mistake
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Teddy, Iโ€™ve felt alone in a room full of peopleโ€ฆso I donโ€™t automatically expect solitude to feel worse. Sometimes Iโ€™d welcome the breathing room. Great write, my dearest friend.๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿฆโ€โฌ›

A Marvelous Mistake
Paul Bell said:

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.

A Marvelous Mistake
sorenbarrett said:

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

Drunk on Happiness

Teddy, now that\'s the sort of intoxication I can get behind! ๐Ÿ˜‚ And the best part? No hangover the following morning! Wishing you plenty more days that leave you grinning like that, my friend! ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿฆโ€โฌ›

Heart of Stone

๐Ÿ˜‚ Teddy, โ€œcould have beenโ€? Youโ€™ve got graves, crying angels, ashes, evil, and everybodyโ€™s dead. I think you qualify! ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿฆโ€โฌ›

Heart of Stone
Paul Bell said:

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.

Heart of Stone
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:

Thereโ€™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.

Squeezing the Lemons into Lemonade
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.
