Thomas W Case said:
This is a damn gleeful catalogue of increasingly catastrophic offenses, and the deadpan “partially to blame” at the end is perfect because there’s absolutely nothing partial about it. Every verse makes Malcolm’s demise more inevitable, until the whole poem becomes a beautifully shameless exercise in comic escalation.

Kevin, I was already laughing throughout this escalating disaster, but that author’s note absolutely finished me! 🤣 Even the poor man’s send-off gets ruined by this walking catastrophe. Reminds me of a time at a funeral when \"Here Comes Santa Claus\" accidentally started playing during the casket processing in. Oops! Don\'t tell the kids! 🤣 Brilliant, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🐦⬛

Oh well… it’s the ‘Sirs’ of that Sceptered Isle wot keeps the joint pointing in the right direction. He was familiar with both triumph and adversity so your minor interventions and infractions only caused him to respond in a manner we could see as self expression. You provided an essential service – you kept him on his toes.

I\'m glad you and he were such good friends. I have son in laws as well but made sure I told them when they came to ask for my daughters hands that if anything went amuck no one would ever find their bodies. All has gone well after that little talk. A great write and a fave

She didn\'t want to die when the Skies were Blue

It\'s always a tragedy no one sees the difference between her truly wanting a life that didn\'t hurt so much. Perhaps a lesser of \"two evils\" scenario? But more importantly how her choice being misread. Reminds me of that late British film, \'Me Before You.\' 🙏🏻🕊️

The Heroic Man
Thomas W Case said:
This is a damn charming send-up of the glamorous spy-hero fantasy, packed with Bond, U.N.C.L.E., and old-school adventure references. The humor works because the speaker finally embraces his wonderfully ordinary life instead of pretending he was ever destined to be James Bond.

A lovely write that most all can feel. It is the Walter Mitty in all of us that calls out. Nicely written.

She didn\'t want to die when the Skies were Blue
Thomas W Case said:
This is a tender elegy, and the central contrast works beautifully: the world is coming alive while she is dying. Spring becomes almost cruel because everything around her promises renewal.
The strongest structural choice is the repeated:
“She didn\'t want to die when the Skies were Blue”
Each return gains weight because the reader knows the inevitable ending is approaching. Tulips, snowdrops, birds, bees, children, melting snow—all that movement and color makes her stillness more painful.

Wow, Kevin…this is tender and heartbreaking. The beauty of the natural world keeps unfolding while her own life is drawing down, and that tension makes the whole piece ache. Really moving work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This is a wonderfully goofy little bit of wordplay, with the screwdriver costume giving the whole thing a playful, absurd charm. The “turn a few heads” ending is a damn perfect pun for the occasion.

Oh, Kevin! 😂 I was already amused by the costume choice, and then that final turn of phrase finished the job. Delightfully silly wordplay, exactly as it should be. Thanks for the chuckle, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️

Oh; For Praying Out Loud
Thomas W Case said:
This poem carries the timeless human search for meaning, mixing frustration, humor, and heartfelt questioning. There’s a humble honesty here, as the speaker wrestles with life’s struggles while still reaching upward for answers.

Thomas W Case said:
This poem feels like a gentle promise to time itself, that something of us will endure in quiet pages and remembered beauty. There’s a graceful, hopeful tone here that makes the idea of legacy feel tender rather than distant.

Kevin, my friend, what a beautiful and tender piece. I have always felt that preserved photographs and stories offer future generations more than information...they carry evidence that someone mattered and made this world lovelier by being here. This really moved me. Wonderful write! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Kevin, this really hit me. The humor never softens the genuine spiritual frustration beneath it…humanity keeps searching, suffering, loving, and fighting while heaven remains frustratingly quiet. Powerful poem, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A clever little comic jab where the punchline sneaks in wearing a waiter’s uniform and a grin.
The rhyme carries the sting, but the humor wins—turning an insult into a tidy little roast of its own.

Kevin, this is wonderfully constructed! The setup leads us innocently toward coffee, only for the poor customer to receive a completely unsolicited character assassination. Hilarious work, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Having knocked around for a fair old time, several hypotheses with respect to his response spring to mind, the very least of which suggests your Garçon was a coffee lover and preferred a straight expresso, whereas your order was (let AI provide its own excuses) “a balanced, versatile bean with a medium brown colour, smooth body”, and sweet caramel notes.”
I hope this helps…..

The Price of Being

Kevin, I know how a hospital can collapse an entire lifetime into a single anxious hour. Suddenly every mundane day feels precious, every loved one indispensable, and every deferred dream terribly urgent. This hit me hard, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
