It is a lot of times hard to know what objects, and people, we will come to treasure. Songs, and surely poems fall in this group. Nice work.

Maybe they are old and only bought to last until the \"nice\" set comes along, but they represent beginnings and a period of your lives that is now in the distant past. 😉👍

Wonderful sentiment here. Lovely nostalgia. Such items carry huge sentimental value. Priceless. A lovely piece Tom. Relatable too. Thanks for sharing.

Memories - the special value mundane objects can acquire over time, Tom.
Even Antiques Roadshow with its insistence on placing a market value on almost everything independent of the artistry and skill evident in its presence, will very occasionally acknowledge the intrinsic value important to the owners. A rare occurrence but a moment I value greatly.

Remember those days. A poem of coziness that is nostalgic and somewhat heartwarming about days when love was new but objects weren\'t and the contrast of now when objects are new but love is not.

Poetry shows the words in our minds and hearts Tom and it does not matter how they are written.

All these things come slowly. Be patient, keep writing. Not too much concern with the rules.

I ain\'t much good at them figures of speech, Tom - they feel like euphemisms to me.
And of course, congrats on doing the ton.

Congratulations Tom. I love the idea that you continue to work on your garden. Nurturing your flowers will yield even better results. I’m a gardener myself. I just felt the need to respond in metaphor. Have a wonderful Wednesday and keep those green fingers busy.

A fine write Tom. I thought a simile was one of those emoji things - a smiley! lol. Doh! And what IS an iambic pentameter in poetry?

A portrait of a colorful man that life would be black and white without. I love these people and have known a few. All put in wonderful verse.

\"His so-called banter borders on bullying but he’s only having a laugh\",
A pain in the arse, Tom - a so called night out with the boys can be excruciating......👍

Doggerel Dave said:
Seems I missed this one - apologies, Tom.
Unless it were possible to take those practical steps, then I, who usually find words reasonably easy, am no good utilising them in such situations. The words feel hollow.
So the cuppa and being there would be, as you point out, my best option, all I personally could do.
Thanks for that.

My mind wanders and I read this poem two ways. The first is someone that can\'t carry your burden but is there for you in spirit and available when needed. The other is the person that after the fact says they would have helped if they could have known, been there, on and on but instead offer you only lip service and tea. I prefer the first interpretation.

My, how seductively you lead the soul to watering, tendering that much needed cuppa and friendly inquiry in finishing like twas to be expected. Wonderful. I love how delightfully you\'ve rendered this to perfection, then capped it off superbly. Thank you for sharing!
