Get off - you wouldn\'t be here if you had done the wrong thing😆
A neater poem I haven\'t seen in a while - fun, (perhaps) serious message. Enjoyed muchly.

We all make mistakes, Tobani but this was a mighty one. A succinct verse rounded to perfection with a delightful sprinkle of humour. Excellent!
Kind regards,
Tony.

Damn, Tobani…this one cut clean. ✂️ The rhythm pulled me in, but it’s that turn—“the wrong half”—that hits like a gut punch. Simple. Surgical. Devastating. You said more in eight lines than most can in eighty. Respect, my friend. 🌹👏

As the old saying goes \" hindsight is 20/20\". I love the way you have projected this. Clever and witty!

Good write. Sometimes there is a very thin line between the good and the bad. Also on later reflection, I sometimes flip my opinion on which is which.

On another note and another read through, the opening to this very much reminds me of good ol\' William Blake: \"When the doors of perception are finally cleansed man will see things as they truly are: Infinite.\" Again. well done!

A-fucking-men. That is all that I can say to this. THIS...right here...is all one needs to know. They get this right, they\'ll be alright! Well done, my dear friend. Well done! A major standing ovation and fave. Pulling out the brolly now, in case the heavens open up to agree! 😂

You\'re downright hilarious! The pessimistic half was left behind to drown in characteristic style and you were left wringing your hands. Gorgeous. Excellently rendered with superb imagery, a subtle humor and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

This is very clever.The metaphor of actually giving your heart away is very powerful.And giving the wrong half is funny.I smiled at theat.

A clever and fun poem that plays with the mind. Which half did you give away? Were you throwing out the bad and kept it by mistake or were you giving someone a present of the good and kept it by mistake? A fun read in rhyme no less. Fave

Your words cut deep, but true grace rises above bitterness. Perhaps peace begins when we release the need to wound.

This poem expresses a harsh truth.None of us deserve eternal peace and freedom.But that is the tough facts of life.Made me think

This poem is full of contradictions that boggle the mind. Unlocking something eternally locked and how do you lock up freedom? How does one walk through with honesty, grace, and dignity when one has not lived that way, especially with it being more than one deserves. This sounds like political claptrap before an election where all is promised and nothing given, straddling a fence as the best defense. A fun read and well designed a fave Oh by the way Tobani are you running for office?

Nature\'s artwork in mobile form. Compelled to be fascinated by a butterfly. Caught that in your words, Tobani.

I was compelled to keep reading and I like the originality. A mix of entertainment but also perhaps touching on some deeper topics. Whatever it is, without the trip there wouldn\'t have been the poem, and I enjoyed reading it.

Tobani…this one touched something deep. 🦋 That first half? Felt like my mirror. That second? Like a hope I still dare to hold. You captured both truths with such tenderness and clarity. Quietly powerful, my friend. Truly beautiful. 🌹👏
