Thomas I have two daughters and two sons as well and I feel this. It was not until after my father was gone that I realized how important he was in forming who I am. He did his best and this poem emphasizes the feeling that we all do the best we can and it filters down, often not seen until we are gone. Poems may have the same effect not felt until we are forgotten. Your common man style goes hard and is easily felt. It speaks form the familiar like an old acquaintance someone to listen to and trust because they lived the same life and know you. Masterful and I envy your style my friend. A fave

I really enjoyed this Thomas. I can really relate to this part.
\"There were nights
the drinking got in the way
of who I should have been.\"
I can definitely relate to the poem as a whole.

A serious write, I\'d rather have troubles to attribute it to anything particular, a poetic narrative? confession? reflective writing? All in all, it\'s very persuasive and really good. Best wishes, my friend.

Thomas, this hit me hard. There is a raw frustration here that feels earned rather than reactive. That kind of exhaustion that comes from carrying blame long after the verdict has already been handed down...I felt that all the way through. Powerful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Certainly dealt with this kind of person before. \"She remembers best Every mistake I\'ve ever made\" it\'s easy to hold a mirror when their not the one looking at it right? Great write!

Our minds are on the same subject Thomas as I am working on a piece similar to yours. This poem speaks in silence but says more than words. An experience more common than not in opinionated society where appearances are important. So well said my friend

It\'s a deep and multifaceted reflection that evokes complicated and diverse feelings and emotions. It\'s strongly resonating in many minds not so much regarding the system of beliefs and principles. A fave, my friend

Bach with Feathers
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Thomas, you got me with this one. The canary is memorable from the start, but what stayed with me most was the atmosphere...the spilled coffee, the ticking clock, the city waking beneath a sky still half asleep. By the end, it feels less like a poem and more like a strange memory you\'ve carried home from dawn. Excellent write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

It is these simple encounters that we splice in semi coherent puzzles in our mind and take meaning that we wonder if nature intended. Well done Thomas

Thomas is Tired
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Thomas, what a compelling piece. The blend of frustration, self-awareness, humor, and fatigue gives it a very human voice. The reflections on expectation, lingering residue, replayed mistakes, and mental noise all build toward a portrait of a mind searching for stillness but unable to quite reach it. And that closing return to the winged lizards brings the whole thing full circle beautifully. This really moved me, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Thomas, what struck me most is the progression from sound to silence. The fading cicadas, the lowering sun, the bare branches...each image contributes to a sense of autumn settling in. The atmosphere is beautifully rendered. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
