The end
Tristan Robert Lange said:
James, this really hit me. Strip away the systems, accounts, markets, and accumulated wealth…and suddenly the person who knows how to coax life from the earth may possess the greatest wealth of all. Powerful write, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Aging
Tristan Robert Lange said:
James, what a relatable piece. The humor keeps it light, but underneath is a very human reflection on time, aging, and the restless impatience that somehow never leaves us. And that final “Holy crap… / This be you” lands with a grin and a wince at the same time. Really enjoyed this one, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Off a little
Tristan Robert Lange said:
My friend, “Nothing scary…haunt’s be…” is the turn that grabbed me. It hints that the unease doesn’t come from monsters but from something far more subtle. That line sets the tone beautifully. Wonderful write. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Aging
Paul Bell said:
Remember, age is just a number.
Okay, 68 is a big number, but on the plus side, turn that number around, and some 86 year old is passing by in a hearse wishing he was 68.
On that cheery note I\'m off for a nap.

Time such a relative thing depending upon one\'s mind and where it is at the moment. Nicely written

This poem has a haunting feel to it a place somewhat dreamlike and magical where time passes ever so slowly and one waits and waits and may never wake. Well written a fave

Ah, that singular moment of perfect clarity that may or may not ever come. A glorious expectant wait. 🕊️🙏

Not so easy
Tristan Robert Lange said:
James, this speaks to me. Real change is rarely about one big decision...it\'s often recognizing those quiet moments when we\'re drifting and choosing to turn around. I really appreciated this one, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Smell \'em
Tristan Robert Lange said:
What stayed with me most was the progression through \"Conception... Perception... Deception... Intention... Concession.\" Those single-word pivots give the poem a strong sense of movement, carrying the reader deeper with each turn. Beautifully done, James. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

James this is a very cleverly designed poem constructed in stanzas with good flow and intervening answer to the stanza which link the whole poem together by their rhyme. Very nicely done and a fave

Gone
Tristan Robert Lange said:
This was fantastic, James…the image of ounces measuring a loss too immense for any scale is what stays with me most. The way sorrow follows sorrow, swallowing everything within days, is gutting and honest. Beautifully done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Prior being
Tristan Robert Lange said:
This is one heck of a poem, my friend…the sense of a former self still lingering beneath the surface is haunting in the best way. The detail of it tracing back to childhood is what really stays with me, and honestly, I think many of us carry something like that quietly. Wonderfully done, boot! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

James, this really moved me. It quietly brought me back to childhood...that sense of wonder before the world became so familiar. Beautiful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Who?
Tristan Robert Lange said:
James, there’s a real edge to this that keeps moving…like something being sharpened over and over. The repetition of necessity gives it weight, like it’s not just a theme but a force pushing everything forward. It taps into that cycle of losing clarity and finding it again. Strong piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
