When you are at the bottom, hope is hard to find. As each day starts the very little you still have you hope is still there. Gritty, raw and very real write, pleasure to read

One day at a time with hope slid just under the skin to shield from complete annihilation...
Got it (I think) Thomas.

If hope goes, you go too.
I always say. If you wake up in the morning, it\'s a great day. If you don\'t, it\'s somebody\'s elses problem.

Hope defined in momentary small wished for gratifications the things we keep going for and wake up for. A lovely means of showing not telling. Nicely written my friend

It\'s the location. I could well be your Dad, except my sometimes invisible dialogues are conducted from an old but forgiving armchair and directed at the Seven O\'clock News.
I think we can all be grateful that you survived

Thomas, this is vivid and deeply human. It moves from fear to humor to understanding without losing its center. “Two sons scared shitless / at what that meant” lands hard. The tension feels real and lived. Well done, my friend.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I must say, brilliantly written. You captured the words that every father says with every child in the car. The child thinks to himself, \'Who is he talking to?\' Brilliant, great job.

Oh hell Thomas I am a miser when it comes to faves but what the hell this one deserves one. Am I just falling in love with your style or what. This one is so nostalgic my dad king of the road pretended the law abiding citizen but was a rebel behind the wheel would race anyone along side then acted as if it were their fault wanting to cut him off. A good read my friend and a fave

Thomas, what grips me most is the layering. Coltrane coughing through the room, Parker rising from under the dirt, pawns marching toward sacrifice…then that simple “Check.” It’s sensual, tense, and slightly damned. “They are playing / jazz in hell.” That line doesn’t explain itself…it just sits there, heavy. Powerful poem, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️

Very descriptive. Reminds me of the Chess game in the Thomas Crown Affair. But this : more bite. Enjoyed.

All of your poems are good Thomas but this is one of the best. It oozes overripe juice fermented it draws flies that buzz on a hot afternoon. The odor and buzz are intoxicating and I am taken to the place. So much lost living in this poem Thomas. No need to say it is a fave

This is holding life up to the Sun and seeing the veins of reality. Hard hitting as usual. A fine Poem.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Thomas, “A love without muscle is just hunger” is a line that grips me. It reframes everything that came before it. And that Tyson left hook image…sharp, sudden, undeniable. Those lines carry the emotional weight of the whole arc. Great job, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Paul Bell said:
Had my own tortoise that I used to fence in, and as you wrote, it was gone the next day.
I loved the drink too, though it didn\'t love me.
We all live life, some make it, some don\'t, I realised that late in life going to funerals.
Great raw poem.
