Come on Out
Doggerel Dave said:
Rich in very human experience as usual, there are many touch points in your poetry which remind me of the way it was. I identify. Here:
‘There were apologies
and promises.
There were nights
when neither one of us
knew how to stop.’
A long time ago, but painful enough for a very strong memory to be provoked. Your poetry at times a therapy, Thomas.

Yes, kids are like sponges, everything goes in.
Some continue what they learned into their own relationships, and the cycle continues.
It\'s a tough one, hindsight is great. Sadly you don\'t get it when you\'re young.

Oh, Thomas, as someone who\'s sober myself, I can relate to this on several levels. Giving up the alcohol is one thing. Dealing with everything you were trying to escape is quite another. I\'m still learning, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I rather think this is one of those universal winners which many countless could attach themselves to, as their own cry. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Hello, Thomas,
The clenched fists of youth defending the avoidable with age such situations treated like water off the proverbial duck\'s back. I enjoyed this poem very much, of aging and the wisdom of taking as little shit as possible. Excellent!
All the best,
Tony.

Thomas, there’s something wonderfully matter-of-fact about this. Life keeps collecting its payments, but you’re still writing books, loving your kid, and moving forward. Happy early birthday, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Keeps going faster and faster. I swear each decade you seem to hit a milestone where the way you think finally catches up with your age. I just turned 30 two months ago and it amazes me how different I feel.

Charming. Mine passed the day after her birthday in January. I keep piling up memories from horrifying events every single winter until these haunt me. What is it about the rain I love that it dredges these hellish moments I\'m dreading? Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

A fine Poem as usual. We shouldn\'t grumble about getting Old , as not many people enjoy the Privilege as Mark Twain once said.

I think the day you get wise is the day they lower you into the ground in that recycled casket that saves the planet.
Everyday is a day to play when you feed the cat pay the bills walk the kids to school.
With you on the old people.
When I was young, jesus they were old.

Tony Grannell said:
Hello, Thomas,
Three grey days, that damn harbinger of the ills and tribulations of winter, naked trees even the weeds die, captured perfectly in this very fine poem of yours. December: an empty golf course, says it all. Very well done indeed.
Kind regards,
Tony.

Sneaky but fun, loved the Land of Nod that reminded me of the nursery rhyme Wynken, Blynken, and Nod. A fun and hopefully most enterprising write.
