You might like the series Hazbin in Hell. Who knows? I know about burning midnight oil, though.
Exhaustion, whew! Know that feeling. Especially when I used to read by kerosene lamp.

The Greatest Love Album Ever Written

\"a broken heart only needs
that one last sip
just enough to numb
the excruciating pain
that comes with loss
whilst giving company to my brokenness\"
A great stanza here. Identifiable for anyone that has suffered loss of any type. Loved it.

Appetizing. but I thought that the dish had run away with the spoon. Did the spoon come back for an encore performance? A most fun read Teddy

Seductive, alluring, haunting in a way, I hear a sirens call. Short but so powerfully packed with imagery leading one\'s imagination expanding on the original work filling in what is not said. A true sign of a wonderful work that lingers long after the read is done. Kudos for the courage to write on a risque\' topic with such class and skill.

If I could be but a rose at the side of my parents, I shall bloom every day and rest peacefully at night. (inspired by you Teddy 😉)

Pass. I\'ve never been fond of a pretzel as the last one was followed by an extraordinary large dental bill after I got my indigestion under control, (half a box of antiacid tablets it took) and I really can\'t afford another and I\'m trying to loose weight so the bendy bit isn\'t going to work for me, plus the thought of her dirty feet is a little teensy bit of a turn off and.........

A wee bit enigmatic, this one if I may say so, Teddy.
If there\'s a call, then I\'m not listening. I shall go in my own sweet time.
But the combination of visual (you have a way of always finding some great pics) and some words which group in great order, work well together even if..........

My comments on the poem \"From where the wild roses grow” by Teddy.15
--The title “…wild roses…” The roses are wild ones, not ones planted and tended by people. It’s often a lonely life while alive; it is certainly lonely in the grave. Few graves are tended. By and large, flowers grow wild there.
--The poet has noticed something terrific, striking : those newly entering the grave are in fact called in by those already there. The departed need company. They call forth the ones still alive out there. It is a call that can be resisted for some time or even for a long time. But, finally, the moment arrives.
--“…the underside of roses…” : the view from under the roses. The view is not only that of the soil but of the departed sleeping down there. The call is a silent one. It is never heard but it sure takes effect when the time comes.
--“…missed by those already there…” : a very poetic turn of phrase, words as only a genuine poet comes up with. The departed, living in eternal peace, want company. They call the ones still scraping along over ground. They want some reunion, which takes place finally.
About life and death in general, we can quote from my poem “The gravedigger” written on 13 July, 1995 :
“Down to their last breath, the living maul each other :
Yonder, the ashes of the dead mingle and swirl together.
Some final speech at the funeral, by the graveside :
\'Tis enough to wipe the slate clean, on each side.
Down to their very bones, the living spurn one another :
Yonder, the bones of the dead silently rub and rot together.
The creepy crawlies vulgarly do we swat off the living :
Now, with pleasure, at leisure, on the dead be they dining….”
“Yonder, the ashes of the dead mingle and swirl together….” : at an open air crematorium, where wood is used, some ashes remain and get mixed up with the ashes of the next cremation….
“…wipe the slate clean…” : the ones making the funeral speeches might have fought with the person who just died.
“…silent rub and rot together…” the bones of the newly-buried and the ones already there.

I have little faith but one thing I do believe is that everything happens for the best. Even if not true the belief in this keeps regrets, bitterness, anger and hatred away. So in it\'s belief one is \"saved\" Great poem Teddy and one that hit close to the heart

How true Teddy. I write for myself alone but love to share. Of the poems that I have read on this and other sites some seem greater than the most famous. What makes a poem great is the emotion it conveys and some by luck become famous but it is luck them famous not great. So well said Teddy
