Devil Plays the Fiddle
sorenbarrett said:

This brought images of my eldest daughter. She has done well in life but divulged to me lately that her greatest regret is that she didn\'t pursue ballet. She was built for it in size and shape and was told over and over by those in ballet that she had all it took.Loved the poem and its twist of the devil. Sometikes one must sell their soul to be great.

Such a contrast here dear Teddy, between the beautiful, delicate ballerina and that devil playing fiddle. Your lines evoked strong emotions here. A delight reading one of your older poems. I love the variety in your writing. You have such wonderful creativity of thinking. Hope you are having wonderful sunshine, as we are today. ๐ŸŒน

The devil would be in her feet and diet denial - the pain and torture involved in the production of such beauty...
First hand experience, Teddy?

Highs and lows, agreed, but going so quickly from \"a little bumpier\" to
\"crushed or worse , dead\" seems a little harsh. But then life can be just like that I guess.

So true Teddy. Roller coaster life it is. I never much enjoyed fun fair rides but we have to deal with whatever comes our way. All things eventually pass. Have a glorious weekend dear poet ๐ŸŒน

I\'m never getting on a roller coaster again. Thanks a lot.
No seriously, this is a true description of life. A wonderful poem that reaches to teach of life\'s ups and downs. We all go along for the ride, but there are always those who insist on standing up, or not wearing their seat belt, and choose to go for a second ride. Not this kid. Much enjoyed your poem. - Phil A.

Yes, sure, I had to look up Biryani. That, and bending like a pretzel? Wow.

I believe the passion should last a bit longer than a lightning bolt, and pretzels can be fun. I have no idea about Biryani, but if it will stand still long enough, I\'m in. So now my Friday is awakened and I\'m praying for rain.
What a saucy poem. - Phil A.

Dear Teddy, I think Iโ€™ll have some of what you are eating. Did you know there is an Indian restaurant in Hammersmith called the Karmasutra? Biryaniโ€™s are on the menu. This is a hot and spicy fun write for the weekend. Love it. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒน

Were it merely a photo, it\'d be lovely, however, knowing tis Italy itself and taken by you, to boot, I cannot get my fill. Mum said rain was allus good for sleeping and ah, how you illustrate this charmingly to effect with an exquisite and irresistible sense of gaity. Superb. Thank you so very much for sharing.

We have a sky light in our bedroom Teddy, so I know exactly what you mean here. That pitter patter certainly aids sleep. I like the thought that rainfall can cleanse all the bad dreams. A beautifully calming and visual poem. Have a happy Thursday. ๐ŸŒน

The sound of falling rain on the roof is the best and induces slumberalmost instantaniously. Peaceful and calm are the feelings I get from this poem.

The light you seek is within your own heart Teddy. Healing is never easy and fast. We heal in the knowing that those that have gone will always be remembered in our hearts. It\'s their light we see that heals us. ๐ŸŒน

To find anything in the dark is difficult. If you are lucky enough to step on it or trip over it you may but otherwise you need light,. I hope you crack that shell and find the light.

It Is I Who Loves Thee More Than The Sun
Cheeky Missy said:

Well, abbaabbacdcdcd lost their way as rhymed couplets took the crown in a gorgeous piece I can\'t but LOVE. My, my, you took 3 years with blood and sweat? Aww, it\'s easier than that, by far.
It\'d definitely be a different creature if it wasn\'t this beauty. Treat the ideas like a horse whose reins you yield up while you flow with him wherever he wants to run, only guiding him gently here and there.
That aside, oh! But the passion so vibrantly thrilling through this like to bleed itself on the page is poignantly alive as the rhymed couplets chase the living thought down the page to its happy conclusion. Delightfully infused and detailed, I love it. Thank you for sharing.

Lost in yourself dear Teddy. In the depths of soul searching. When you get that far down, the only way is up. Keep searching for the light. Beautiful poetry dear poet. ๐ŸŒน

Cheeky Missy said:

Stop digging down. If you won\'t brew and sip a heartening cuppa tea, then pull an espresso or brew a cup from your moka pot. It\'s easier than you realize. You will find yourself when you stop looking. Look up. Listen. It\'s all around you.
I love this beautiful tribute to dredging the depths of one\'s soul in search for what is either not there or else remains invisible until the candle splashes light on it. I love the aching poignancy and details. Thank you very much for sharing.

Wonderful words Teddy about an horrendous episode in history.
I was working that day in an open plan office with a dozen of us in there. That afternoon our normally busy \'phones did not ring at all.
