There’s a House across the way

Well written with rhyme and good flow and meter it reads easily flowing off the tongue. The story definitely gothic in a horror type genre it has that feel. Loved the ending that is left open. Very nicely done

Weariness and Age
Cassie58 said:
From the souls we have lost- so true as we age, we lose more and more relatives and friends to the reaper.
The repetition works so well here Kevin to emphasize the passing of time.
Weariness and age, all at dusk. Time is running out like sand through an egg timer. I enjoyed reading you.

Weariness and Age
arqios said:
There is that sliver time between dusk and twilight, just when the light sensor can’t quite pick up the darkness and natural light is useless even to younger eyes… that’s the time of day kid rather not face; switching on the lights won’t do much at all until a bit later, so that’s a waste of effort and energy. It’s a time of listless and obscurity. Pity, because sunsets are so pretty. So one ends up being torn … good thing the night can come quickly, when it does…. That to me parallels the idea of weary agedness as perfectly transcribed into poem by your hand 🙏🏻🕊

As The Sun Goes Down
sorenbarrett said:
I love the metaphor and we are all children playing our games sometimes cruel other times loving not understanding the harm we do to others or the planet. Very nicely written

A Likely Story
Distant View said:
A poem that made me smile. Yes, we all have far-fetched fantasies in our youth. As we age we become more pragmatic! I too ended up marrying a local girl... in fact she lived next door to me! She looked like a movie star to my eyes, and she still does, all these years later!

A Likely Story

Likely enough to be so for me, who at one stage flew too near the Sun and got handed his feathers mangled, scorched, and basted in melted wax… oh but those were the days!

Kate Winslet

Read it as an ode. But I’m the odd one to do so. She’s an excellent actor as well… with an outstanding filmography. 🙏🏻🕊

Before you Came
arqios said:
Begs the question: is there any other kind of fame like the rowdy kind?or the quite fame of love, intimate and separate? Nice one, Kevin. A whiff of W. Churchill, J. Donne, and T.S. Eliot blends in with other images and metaphors reminiscent of classic literature. A true joy to read and meditate on. 🙏🏻🕊

A Lady Honoured: Acrostic
arqios said:
Of all the poetry crafted for millennia, a lady lies at its heart and to some other degree, of love, friendship, betrayal, regret and aspiration. She, Louise Louise fevers and undoes the mind at every waking hour by her sublime, rare fineness! 🙏🏻🕊

A beautiful acrostic for the lovely Louise. So taken you are with her, you named her twice. It must be love.

A sensitive and touching write, in the days when whole communities were lost to war and about the bravery people showed in choosing to go to war and defend. Enjoyable read, Poetically

A fun story about Tyler Brown and the demon drink. Loved the Keith Moon mention. Now he was something else. I knew his mother. Such a quiet soul. Enjoyed the write Kevin.

Loved the poetic inventiveness and playfulness with the language in this poem. A fun story with a point that is told well in rhyme. For its poetic use of language it deserves a fave

Quite the stark contrast between his choices and a more serene alternative. But recovery isn’t ever easy. Superbly moving poem 👍🏻🕊🙏🏻

A lovely tale of the daily jaunt of a alcoholic with a nice ending, but to have Keith Moon playing drums in your head just goes to show you are in a bad way ( it is a great line), really enjoyed the read.

What’s that famous line about having to receive all the Bennetts in the country? Someone should really put to pen a spin off on Mary Bennet! 🙏🏻🕊

This lovely piece takes me back to a time of real communities, everyone worked in the same factory`s, lived in the same houses, looked after each other. When the pits and the factory`s closed the people lost so much, but also the nations fabric was broken. Great piece of writing

Walking to work, the factory gates, the camaraderie. You took me back sometime. Factory closures, redundancy and hardship. That certainly paints a sad picture. How difficult that must have been to navigate. Matchstick men. I am familiar with Lowry. A devastating time for many.
