Oh my!!! Tidily rendered in rhymed couples with such irresistibly hearty humor, it\'s too good! Laden with expert imagery and a waltzing poignancy, oh, I love, love, LOVE it!!! Thank you so very much for sharing.

I enjoy your humor, but I do not like Cadbury\'s Creme Egg. Yet I do love me some candy at times, have a great weekend.

Tobani, these are playful and lighthearted…a sweet tooth and a twist of humor rolled into rhyme. You had me from Choco...the holic part just is a given! 🤣 Fun little snapshots, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

I love the humor! The first one is playful and the funniest.

One of the best poems I have read so far. One needs to read it twice or more to hear the voice speaking with otherworldly fire!

Two nougat nuggets for the poetic sweet tooth. Sugary fun for everyone. Loved them Tobani but like all such bites they ended too quickly

arqios said:

This is dark, visceral, and unflinching, Natiella. It plunges into the depths of despair and the surrender of self to end unbearable suffering. Its imagery is raw; bone, blood, and the physical tearing out of grief and yet the final moment delivers a chilling kind of peace: harm is no longer possible. A haunting meditation on the cost of release.

Cheeky Missy said:

Dang! Yet another version of the infamous Dr. Faustus, perhaps one more readily digestible by this modern intellect. Macabre and ghastly with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy, rendered so vividly I well- nigh shiver instinctively. Alas! Thank you for sharing.

Hello, Tobani,

A little bit of everything and not too much of anything, the perfect balance but how to maintain this balance perfectly expressed in this very fine poem of yours. A conundrum indeed.

Fond regards,

Tony.

Wow.. hang on!
Just went in for a 2nd dive
Rocked me to the core
Yet my tears ran dry
The next breath taken
Now I feel so alive

I need to free myself as you have described, with a flow that connects me back to my hive.

Endless appreciated with peace and respect

Tobani, this is raw and visceral…you don’t hold back on the imagery or the weight of that deal with the devil. The closing line hits like a cold, final release. Very strong work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛ A fave!

A poem of torment where suicide is seen as a protection against future harm. Graphic it the form of Mayan or Aztec sacrifice it yells out to the reader of pain. Nicely done Tobani

Not exactly symantics, yet bordering on the same, this is a fun philosophical discussion indeed. Aspersions, eh? \"Judge not and ye shall not be judged--\" seems apropos. Since I cannot justify myself, guess I prefer to avoid the discussion altogether. Charming and beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy indeed. Thank you very much for sharing.

Tristan Robert Lange said:

Tobani, this is a measured weighing of scales, my dear firend…turning over every angle until you land on the simple truth of just being. The steady rhyme makes the reasoning all the more grounded. Nicely done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛ A fave!

I\'d like to live peacefully with little, although there are people who want more and more, and that\'s fine with them. Dignity is the driving force. Thanks for sharing. Best regards.

My friend, something profound descended on your pen. Few lines which carry an almost unbearable burden. Loved it

That’s the way of things in human relations, quite a range of calibrations and it’s ever changing. 🙏🏻🕊️

A Marxist idea that didn\'t quite work due to man\'s nature toward corruption and greed but a most interesting idea none the less. Too bad that most men\'s nature is not a giving one. A fun read my friend
