Beautiful and most lovely. It speaks to me of the metamorphosis of life for which the butterfly is known. Well done Teddy

A Sweet Thought on Grief
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Teddy, Iβve 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. πΉπ€ππ―οΈπ¦ββ¬

A Sweet Thought on Grief
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.

Lady and the Raven
Tony Grannell said:
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.

This write is both a confession of grief and sadness and a declaration of strength to raise above it. A commitment to go on to the last breath. Nicely written my friend.

Tony Grannell said:
Dear, Teddy,
A quirk of nature, how dying leaves can be so beautiful with their impressive array of colours and how beautifully you have expressed it. A petite gem.
Fond regards,

Swan Submerged
Tony Grannell said:
Hello, Teddy,
The hallucinations associated with intence grief can be maddening to the point of sleepless nights. I sincerely hope you can vanquish the accursed serpent and find some source of normality. Your poetic description is horrifying as it is brilliant.
Wishing you all the very best,
Tony.

Nice write, Teddy. I always think that the way we remember ourselves is as distorted as the way we see ourselves. I try to live with what I have and not worry about yesterday but look forward to tomorrow. You had some great images in this one: \"snakes slithering inside me, I want my elegance, searching.
\'My grandmother always said, \'You ARE as young as you THINK\" Anyways, enjoyed your poem. - Phil A.

Dearest Teddy, this made me smile. A great love story really does take a hell of a lot more than love aloneβ¦it takes choosing each other through all the ugly parts too. And that photo? Absolute attitude. You look like you always knew life was going to have to keep up with you. π πΉπ€ππ―οΈπ¦ββ¬

Tony Grannell said:
Hello, Teddy,
A love story, like a game of snakes and ladders. Slithering down the back of the snake, \'together\', to climbing up the ladder, \'together\' one rung at a time until you reach the tavern. \"Two gin and tonics please with ice and lemon.\" \"Chin, chin, my love - so good so far!\" Until the next slippery serpent but we\'ll survive as all great lovers do - amen to that.
Wise words from you, Teddy and so true. Lovely to read your poems again.
Wishing you all the very best.
Fond regards,
Tony,

A Sign From The Other Side
Thomas W Case said:
Powerful, sweet Teddy. Thereβs a damn tender grief in this, because the dream gives the speaker something death took away: one more ordinary evening with both parents together, complete with a bottle of Chianti and the simple happiness of serving them dinner. The ending is beautiful because the dream doesnβt erase the loss, it transforms it into peace, letting the speaker believe that somewhere beyond this life, his mother and father have found each other again.
