It brings out the worst in people, surely. We can add \'sadly\', especially if it applies to any relative(s) we know.

Well written. Your poem revolves around themes of urban survival, poverty, and the often-overlooked experiences of marginalized individuals. The poet deals with the struggle to navigate a neglected city environment while grappling with addiction and a sense of invisibility. The imagery evokes a visceral response to the harsh realities of life on the streets, emphasizing the contrast between the hustle of the working world and the quiet desperation of those living on the fringes.

The title drew me in immediately, Thomas…I could write volumes from personal past experience, and I’m thankful those days are behind me now. The poem meets that weight head-on, moving through hunger, addiction, and invisibility with clear eyes and no excess. It’s survival rendered plainly, and that’s what makes it powerful. Wonderful job, dear poet. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This one hits hard like a morning hangover. It dwells not only in the head but sour gut. Raw but half digested like the aftertaste of vomit that one can not clear from one\'s mouth. It is visceral and heavy I can almost hear the buzz of flies. Well written Thomas and a fave

I always think, a guy that can scatter breadcrumbs for the birds even though he\'s down on his luck is a stayer.
The haves and the have-nots, a gulf that\'s getting bigger as the world grows. I\'m not even sure if it\'s pity we give anymore, we\'re all just one mortgage payment from joining him.

\"like a beetle carrying a couch\" absolute knockout punch. Perhaps the only word befitting the poem in my limited vocabulary would be \'Brilliant\'.

Life in the raw, always think if you wake up, it\'s already a great day.
Usually give the mirror a miss, it blatently lies.
Feckin freezing here too, even the eskimos are complaining.

This somehow reminded me of Lawrence. The desperation in reaching out and the ache of not being able to touch it. A fave.

Excellent! That absinthe bottle threading the scenes together really anchors the poem. It becomes a witness to intent, distraction, and fallout, quietly charting the collapse without commentary. Strong, deliberate use of image, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Beware of Jenny\'s baring gifts.
Many a guy has seen her go down.
Many never reached the point of blow.
Jenny knows men think with their balls, and it stands to reason they\'re going to fall.

Beautifully done. Your poem revolves around the fleeting nature of youth and the bittersweet essence of nostalgia. The poet focuses on a group of young women enjoying a carefree moment by the water, capturing the exhilaration and innocence of adolescence as they grapple with the onset of adulthood.
