Thomas, this really pulled me in. I love how you take something as ordinary as buying fractional shares and turn it into something deeply human. The humor is there, but so is that quiet uncertainty we all carry. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Enjoyed. Never bothered with the Stock Exchange. Rather French-Kiss a Light Socket.
Good double meanings here.

I have a small portfolio. What I didn\'t cash in is down 80-90%.
No need to watch anymore when that happens!

I love the double meaning of the first line. it can be taken both ways and still applies to the meaning of the poem. There are several such clever double meanings here Nike flies high do we mean the god or the stock or shoe. A clever and most true to life write where the house always wins and we pay to be entertained on a hope that soon disappears on the turn of a card or a bear market. Well written my friend

The Best We Could

\"He did the best he could.
I did the best I could.
Maybe that’s what gets passed down,
not perfection,
just the attempt
and the hope
it lands a little softer
the next time around.\"
This is AMAZINGLY WRITTEN. I think it resonates with the majority. I hope you find peace during the holiday season. Grief will always be, but it\'s what we do with it that matters. Sending love

I really like this poem. I once wrote a poem called The Life of a Doorknob and your poem reminds of it

Your poem shows how language slowly teaches you how to see—and how feeling gives words their real meaning. Well Done

Thomas, this really moved me. I love how an ordinary childhood memory quietly unfolds into something much deeper about language, loss, and growing up. It lingered with me long after I finished reading. Beautiful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The use of these symbols the bleeding heart and weeping willow could not be more perfect. The merging of them with the emotion of the poem is masterful. A fave Thomas

This made me
1) sad
2) reflect on my own past & in particular Miss Lock one of my own very special teachers
3) remind myself that I have a very long way to go but maybe not enough time to get there in
4) strive harder to only publish from now on better stuff
5) probably loads of other things I Just forgot already
p.s.
I got to hand it to you Thomas, this was write up there sir .. Neville ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍

Should be part of a full on memoir: or perhaps an extended In Memoriam?
That final stanza, I\'m sure, many can relate to - I know I can.

Thomas, this really hit me. It\'s such a tender reflection on grief, time, and becoming the person you wish someone you loved could have known. There\'s no self-pity here...just honesty, and that\'s what makes it so moving. Beautiful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I remember reading a Poem a long time back.
It was about a Man who Wondered if his Mother passed him in the Street today - would she Recognise him? Has you thinking.
Enjoyed this a lot.

I believe you just honoured your mother, which holds a promise.
For lack of brain cells, I am thinking about the apple not falling far from the tree: the nicest way...

Opportunities lost, time past, regret all come through in this poem of youth\'s naivete to grown regret. Another well told story of development that ends in the now that is as vivid as life itself. Well done Thomas

Thomas, this really struck me. There is so much honesty packed into it…not just about fatherhood, but about being human. The grace in those repeated acknowledgments of doing the best one could hit me hard. Powerful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

No instructions on bringing up kids.
You do your best and hope they appreciate it in later life.
If they bring their kids to visit, I would say you done okay.
