There\'s a lot to be said about the runt of the pack, they need to be smarter and quicker to survive.
And as you say, trust needs to be earned, but once it is, you\'ve got a stayer.

Endearing and cute this poem takes a different direction than most of your gritty work Thomas and brings a tender side into your poems. Nicely penned

Excellent write, Thomas. I have known days when one familiar object carries too much of a person’s history...letting it rest can take real courage. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Hello, Thomas,
Free of an obsession, released from the prison of time, as it were to enjoy the dawning of a new day. You are a master of continuity; your words flow beautifully, bringing the reader effortlessly along to a worthy ending leaving one content. Accolades galore.
Fond regards,
Tony.

Maybe we should all stop for a Moment. Not let Time be a Master. Especially as we get Older.
Enjoyed.

Im wondering if this is your books intro. Its a great write of a lone man, pocessions, pets, picket fence, land. The man emarking on a self exploratory voyage as time itself stops for him. I really enjoyed it.

My father gave me a gold pocket watch, when it was stolen it was like letting go of my father\'s hand. I was on my own, had grown up. I no longer needed material things to make me who I was I had become a sanyasi, reached another level. I hear this in this poem, time no longer a restraint one looks beyond to the beauty surrounding one.
\"He stood at the window
and watched the garden turn green,
dandelions and violets
dotting the yard
like a Jackson Pollock painting.\"
Most poetic and descriptive of the admiration of natural beauty. With time no longer the issue the central meaning of the poem to me comes in the statement:
\"For the first time in years,
he let the morning come
without asking it
for anything.\"
Transformation had occurred.

lol I actually have friends who do that with food, nah I\'m not hungry I\'ll order a plate of fries and then they\'ll eat my steak, I feel for you, I used to be a smoker but I\'d always have two packs on a night out just in case. Love your nerative you brought back some of my own memories from my 20\'s... 💜

Hello, Thomas,
Wine, homemade cigarettes and alcohol words contradicting the sobriety of life in the cold stains of winter. A truly excellent passage of poetry. Thank you very much for this one.
All the best,
Tony.

Hello, Thomas,
A dirty chalk day and a forgotten envelope feels like the skin of harsh weather and most unwelcome. I like this poem, very much so. Well done.

This is one of my favorites of yours Thomas. Having read it earlier on another site I will take a different direction. It is earthy and lived in. It holds the grasp of one that has lived life a poet that has written a thousand poems and words come naturally as if in speech from a seasoned mouth. It holds the grit of life where one knows those that live around them and speaks as if no one was listening. Your wordsmithing is evident in the ones you choose. Personification \"winter has bitter teeth\" uncommon but so vivid. You show the patience to develop a feeling and thought in actions not words. The walk, feeling the change in the pocket tells much more than saying it outright. I love the process of constructing one\'s own cigarette out of butts and yellow pages it says so much (I have done the same with a pipe and scraps of tobacco) The initial her buying you a box to keep smokes in tells more about her and the relationship than a paragraph could. The last stanza is the unfolding of how ridiculous the whole process is and maybe we all need that belt.

Thomas, autumn is always a mixed bag for me. I love the season, but the shorter days can really mess with my mood. Some evenings I just want to crawl under a blanket and tell the world to come back tomorrow. LOL! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Love this dear Thomas, you always pull a rabbit out of the bag so to speak with your fabulous imagery and the way you write.
I love this particular part.
Squirrels buried their futures
beneath the dirt,
trusting the ground to keep
its mouth shut

I hear the smart squirrel watches the others burying their spoils, and then steals it.
Winter is on its way, and sunnier climes are calling.

It\'s the same here Thomas. Already I\'m being attacked by Leaves as I walk under the Trees.
The Whole aspect has a \'Stay inside and Save Yourselves\' look from Outdoors.
