Thirty years! Good grief, James! LOL! I suppose that\'s when you find out which friendships really do last a lifetime. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

Change?
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Amen to that, boot! I don\'t give a damn who gets the credit if people\'s lives actually improve. Unfortunately, too many politicians seem more interested in winning than governing. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

Here in this write time has no meaning when it comes to friends. A lovely write of comradery James

Change?
sorenbarrett said:

Opposing views in a battle for change results in things remaining the same. Those looking for it will not find it in a search for a safe place under any party name. Well written James

This poem builds the image of Cinderella until the last line where the joke sets in. Good one

Nicely written and seasonally appropriate this poem poetically displays the jack-o\'lantern in its glory and demise. Nicely done and a fave.

James, LOL! I never thought I\'d find myself feeling sorry for a jack-o\'-lantern, but here we are! You\'ve given me a good laugh this Halloween season, my friend! πŸŽƒπŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

The coffin maker
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Oh, damn, James. That\'s a hell of a coincidence to contemplate. Life has some terribly cruel ironies, doesn\'t it? This one gave me the chills. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

The coffin maker
sorenbarrett said:

Nicely worded with rhyme and quaint wording it sets the scene and tells its story of irony and darkness. I loved it and a fave

Smothered
Tristan Robert Lange said:

There’s something painfully familiar here, James. Sometimes you don’t notice how much has gone gray until you start remembering the colors. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

Poor little guy
sorenbarrett said:

What a marvelous write about all living things that have their place and if we erase any there is a void.

Smothered
sorenbarrett said:

A most interesting write that brings up many ideas. Is it that with age all things fade to gray that there is no more black and white. That well could be. Nicely written

Decision
Tristan Robert Lange said:

James, this put me in a place I didn’t particularly want to stand…which is probably why it worked on me. The decision looks simple right up until you imagine carrying it afterward. Fantastic write, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

Decision
sorenbarrett said:

A poignant question where one must wrestle with one\'s beliefs and soul. Torn between answers.

Tristan Robert Lange said:

James, I reached the end and immediately felt like it wasn’t finished with me yet. Wonderful write, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

Emotions ebb and flow and tides come and go in this poem. Nicely written

Too bad
Tristan Robert Lange said:

James, what a delightfully macabre little tale. The tension builds like a sacred rite, the sky delivers the punchline, and that casual acceptance afterward makes the whole thing wickedly funny. Brilliant work, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

How long does it take to know someone. This poem speaks to this and more. Well written

Too bad
sorenbarrett said:

Dark writing that eclipses the sacrifice put into it. Well done

Unnoticed
Tristan Robert Lange said:

What a strong piece, James. The voice starts small and almost hidden, then opens into something much larger about survival, interdependence, and what disappears when we stop paying attention. Quietly powerful, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

sorenbarrett said:

Now that is the terrifying thing that they cease for where one ceases to be other follow. Nicely written

Moving on
Tristan Robert Lange said:

What a thoughtful piece, my friend. The rain, the clothing, the clay, and the firing all gather around this sense of becoming...of carrying what shaped us while still emerging differently. Beautifully done, James. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

New from the potter\'s fire glazed and pristine. Well done as metaphor.

What\'s it all about
Tristan Robert Lange said:

What a dark and powerful piece, my friend. You confront a society where corruption hides beneath respectability, the vulnerable are shaped by deception, and exposure arrives too late to undo the damage. A brutal indictment, James. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

What\'s it all about
sorenbarrett said:

Here metaphor in day and night portray what is revealed and hidden nicely written

Is anybody out there
Tristan Robert Lange said:

James, this asks the questions grief forces upon us while keeping a wary eye on anyone too eager to supply definite answers. The movement from mystery into exploitation is quietly chilling...a thoughtful and incisive piece, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›
