My Odyssey
Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a remarkable piece, Thomas. The whole journey feels battered, restless, funny, tragic, and ultimately grounded...not because everything was fixed, but because the need to keep fleeing finally loosened its grip. Really powerful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

My Odyssey
Paul Bell said:
Anchored for the last time, maybe in mind.
Life should be treated as an adventure, you only get one.
As for screwups, at the time it seemed right.
Drinking coffee and watching the world go by is the way to go, you can\'t get into trouble doing that.

My Odyssey
soheil khodaparasti said:
This feels deeply honest and beautifully lived in. The Odysseus/Ithaca metaphor gives the whole journey a powerful shape, but the ending is what I find most moving—the realization that home may be less about finding a place and more about finally choosing to stay.

A poem of adventure and sights seen. Experience under the belt age settles in and wisdom bought allows one to put down roots. A lovely write of a life lived. \"If Odysseus
had been an alcoholic,
maybe we\'d have had
more in common.\"
This felt mythical and real at the same time. Part me part poetic. Nicely done my friend.

Thomas, this is hilarious and wonderfully eerie at the same time. Anyone who has lived with a cat knows that exact feeling that they are reacting to something you cannot perceive…and Shadow absolutely owns the night here. Great piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The lines: \'Everything looked Normal\'. \'Which was Suspicious\', Has an Unnerving Quality about it.
Enjoyable Read. A fave

Hi Thomas,
I really enjoyed this. Funny, surreal and slightly unsettling. I love how Shadow seems to know something you don\'t, then casually goes to sleep after keeping you awake all night. Typical cat.
Great write.

Yes, I do believe you may have experienced the at times somewhat challenging companionship of a cat. None of that could possibly be fiction.
Likewise..... no, I\'m not going to compete with you on the ever pressing topic of insomnia or else just disturbed sleep.
I hope the situation improves sometime soon for you....... and me...

The perfect set up in this poem Thomas. It seemed one of your wonderful writes on the commonplace yet the last line turns the tables and makes one laugh at themselves for being so cleverly taken in. Loved it

Time and dates it seems run our lives.
Then at some point you realise they weren\'t really important.
What is important is today, and today only.
Playing golf in an hour, me and that irritating little ball that never goes where I want it to go.

You have found the perfect balance between the value of each moment in our lives, and time which it is necessary to monitor (I had forgotten it was Sunday when I attempted a quick shop at my very local store).
Clearly your message is never let the latter prioritize itself over the former, and as such you have nailed your feet firmly to reality’s floor, Thomas.

A meditation on how quickly time passes, especially as one gets older, and why that realization makes ordinary moments feel more precious. Well Done Brother

Thomas, this hit me hard. Time accelerates so quietly that the ordinary moments become increasingly precious...and that corvid flight at the close is absolutely perfect. Dark, communal, and moving toward a destination none of us controls. Brilliant work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

As you get Older the days fly past, like those Calendars you see on Old Movies when the passage of time is shown as Dates falling from Calendar itself.
A fine Poem.

This poem beautifully captures the quiet, almost haunting way time slips through our fingers. It left me thinking about how often we rush toward the next moment, only to realize that the moments worth keeping were the ones quietly unfolding right in front of us.

So true it is there are endless dates in front of us and although we focus on the present there is the future behind it. Nicely written as always Thomas there is a feel of somehow being small it the scope of things and where is meaning in all this. The last line seems to give it and it is dark.

There’s something quietly powerful in this, Thomas. The contrast between once living to disappear inside the bottle and now finding meaning in stocks, golf, cats, writing and all the ridiculous details of ordinary life really works. Perhaps getting older isn\'t only about what we lose, but what we finally learn to notice. Great write, my friend.

Another fine Poem Thomas. If someone told me when younger that I\'d be writing Poetry: I\'d have laughed. We are constantly changing. And as for the Stock Exchange. The only figures I was only interested were 37 22 and 36

Once upon a time, time dragged on, and the world needed conquering.
Now you watch youtube on how easy golf is, and it is easy on youtube.
I blame my left handed clubs for being rubbish, blame Trump for my shares slumping, and god knows what happened to the cat.

What a moving piece, Thomas. The humor keeps it wonderfully grounded, but beneath it is the hard-earned wonder of being alive and caring about life again. As someone who also found sobriety, that transformation landed deeply with me. Outstanding work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
