You have peeled the layers away, exposed your soul. Your attempt here to shed those layers completely?

Thomas, this carries a powerful voice…gritty, smoky, and full of lived-in memory. The jukebox image pulls us into that crooked city world right away, and by the time we reach the ashes and broken watch, the loss feels heavy and personal. It reads like a late-night confession that lingers long after the last line. Beautiful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This poem is a raw, beautifully broken elegy for lost love — not the gentle kind, but the kind scorched by passion, decay, and regret. It blends bluesy Americana imagery with deep emotional ruin, conjuring a world of jukebox bars, backroads, and ghost-haunted rooms where the speaker mourns both the woman and what her love burned away inside him.

Your poem traces a soul’s movement from alienation and decay toward reconciliation and spiritual rest. It fuses biblical imagery with modern desolation, showing how exile can become the road to understanding and belonging. It’s a meditation on how pain and wandering ultimately lead to grace. Thank You for the spirit of reconciliation you painted. Well Done Brother

Thomas, this brought back that feeling of remembering people who filled a room with life…those friends whose presence carried music, laughter, and stories. The way the poem moves through work, band days, and fishing trips feels very real. The ending tribute is quietly powerful. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This yarn commands all the senses plus some pay attention. His forty something years were enough to ensure Scotty\'s position In time and space remained open and you provided that certainty, Thomas.

A most nostalgic poem that feels like a different era and reads of childhood and its care free nature. Well crafted Thomas

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.
