Was it preordained, inevitable you would get there? I\'m not absolutely sure.. but I was glad and relieved that you did, Thomas.

Arrival in Nod
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Thomas, this one stayed with me…there’s a long road running through it, and you feel every mile of it. The loneliness in the early stanzas is heavy, but the arrival at Nod carries a quiet relief that feels earned. Beautiful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This is wonderful Thomas a life traveler a vagabond of the world finding where he belongs and nod such a euphemism for sleep and that is where most of us feel we belong. Very nicely done

The Old Scary Lady
gray0328 said:
Your poem builds atmosphere through sensory detail:Visual: “black curtains,” “upstairs window,” “all in black.”Smell: “mothballs and cobwebs.”Sound and motion: the dog’s “growling,” the children’s “heart pounding.”These create a cinematic, haunted-house feeling. The repetition of darkness suggests both literal gloom and the children’s ignorance about who the woman really was. Well Done Brother

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Thomas, this feels so familiar…those neighborhood legends we built as kids around one mysterious house or person. Reading it took me straight back to those walks home from school, when imagination filled in all the blanks. The way you end it with that wondering…laughing or crying…gives the memory real depth. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

\'And sometimes, just sometimes,
I wonder if she was laughing,
or crying, or both.\'
Those lines nail the whole piece; \'or both\' the pivot. Vivid portrait, Thomas.

Enjoyed your Poem.

How identifiable. As kids there was an abandoned house in the field we dared each other to enter either through the dog door or though that cellar door we crawled to see what was inside. A great write

Well written. I think we all had some kind of mean old person in the neighborhood.🤪We can laugh now. Your poem captures the tension between curiosity and fear, ultimately leading to a reflection on the complexities of human emotion, wondering if the woman was laughing or crying.

Some memories such as this leave such an impact that the imprint they leave enjoy a never be erased. As kids it must have been quite challenging.
Lovely work

This delivers the message very clearly, openly and honestly, that the battle with addiction is a long harsh, painful and sometimes brutal one, counting the losses as they build up on that difficult journey. Long may you be winning this battle

I was just reading a passage in a book (then your poem appears) where the writer was saying that the deeper the desire and grasping, the deeper the (possibility of) experiencing of the absolutely unconditional. Isn`t that a paradox?! It gives me a lot of inspiration.
Great write, Thomas

The likelihood of your survival and be left with the ability to document this terrible journey is, I feel mathematically somewhere between nought and zero. Yet you managed it. A vivid account of an existence, Thomas.

Well Done Brother. I\'ll be six years sober on the 28th of this month. Six years ago on the 28th I was in River Oaks treatment center with suboxone under my tongue trying to stop shaking from 2/5 of vodka a day and liquid morphine it\'s been a long hard journey but it\'s been worth it
