Dang! You were not, I repeat NOT supposed to make me laugh so heartily and so irresistibly in concluding when Jack suffered so much. I declare! You\'re a regular riot! Poor Jack. Oh well. Hope they manage to still live happily ever after. Excellently rendered with superbly tasteful imagery and a damning poignancy, not to mention a dose of irresistible humor. Thank you for sharing.

Your Heart Is Strong.
Cheeky Missy said:
Hahaha. And \"...the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked, who can know it?\" (Jeremiah 17:9) And the mind, isn\'t it inexplicably married to the heart? Dunno. I give up. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting, fascinating poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

They Told Me They Loved Me.
Cheeky Missy said:
Answering this is rather difficult, very, very difficult. I mean, after all the verbal and physical abuse my own mother endured from hers, when she asked her father who had been party to it all whether her mother loved her, he didn\'t reply; instead, he tried to reassure her of his love. Between her and myself, we concluded with all the facts that her mother did love her. Perusing this poignant number not once but twice, I cannot say they did not nor affirm that they did. Neither can you but recall from a child\'s perspective, as she knew. I have a different angle thanks to my circumstances. On the one hand I suspect they seriously believed they loved the speaker, yet I frankly disagree with the abusive behavior toward the speaker. I know both sides, methinks. Since it is so far in the past it is difficult to reconcile, yet must be since the mind cannot rest with this perpetually eating at it. Ergo, yes, they loved the speaker yet they were dreadfully misguided and utterly incorrect in their mistreatment of their own child. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a most haunting poignancy. Thank you so very much for sharing.

Thanks for the fun Tobani when I was young my sister had a cat that hated my brother as much as he hated it. It would find his shoes and do its thing in them.

They Told Me They Loved Me.
Damaso said:
Well, teacher, I found your text that has brought me to tears, reliving moments marked by fire. Resentment was never the answer; it only leads to dying of poisoning. But the consequences of the scars of physical and psychological violence at an early age leave such deep scars that it\'s difficult to identify them once they have penetrated so deeply into your life. Today, I just want to be that adult I missed in those days. Incredible writing, Sir. Greetings.

David Wakeling said:
No-one deserves suffering and blame. It really sounds like a miserable up bringing. But the one clear thing is that you \"survived\" my friend. You survived. If you can survive parents like that you can survive anything. Congratulations on a very difficult poem to write. My childhood was similar so I can relate

False Impressions.
Cheeky Missy said:
Forsooth. Black Like Me proves that, the alleged attempt to see another angle what most of us forget is rather crucial. We can only offer empathy until we too have experienced whatever, seems to me. Gorgeous in tantalizingly eloquent brevity. Rendered beautifully with superb imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.

Ah, you\'re too good! If only! \"...the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked: who can know it?\"(Jeremiah 17:9). Oh, I can\'t find words to express how much I love, love, love this gorgeous number of yours!!! Exquisite and beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting, delightful, albeit bittersweet poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing, I love it!!!

It has always been interesting to me why white people wish to be darker but discriminate darker skin and why darker people want to be lighter. A mind provoking read.
