A Moral Tale, if ever I heard one. Good always triumphs over evil, don\'t it?

Lesbian lust 2, granted not as good as lesbian lust 1, but still good family viewing in some countries.
I would like to think the old guy died happy, but even if he didn\'t, doesn\'t mean you shouldn\'t have a drink or ten in his honour.

An interplay here between the author and another well done as a reflection.

They say I\'m still in Love with you
Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a clever piece, Kevin. Each new excuse is more incriminating than the last, while the humor keeps revealing the ache beneath all that stubborn denial. Funny, tender, and beautifully constructed, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

As I wandered slowly down (should in all conscience wander up) today’s listings, I almost passed you by. Any poem with ‘love’ in the title usually gets short shrift from me. Now I just wanted to warn yer not to take no notice of wot others might think. You do her your way… (really meant ‘it’ in the just preceding, but it somehow got confused with the lady in question… and so on…. )

There’s a damn compact little descent into melancholy here, with “melancholic tsunami” giving the speaker’s Sunday sadness a wonderfully oversized, almost comic force. The final “Sadder day” is a neat little hook—it leaves you wanting to know what the hell happened on Saturday to make Sunday look like the better of the two.

Haha, you got me good with this one, Kevin! I followed the misery right into that final turn...and then the title clicked. Clever, concise, and damn funny. Wonderful write, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Kevin, what a wonderfully absurd ride! Each new disaster raises the stakes while the determination to remain unconscious never wavers...and by the end, I completely respect the commitment. Hilarious write, my friend! 😂🌪️😴🙏

I got the love of a worthless tormenting woman that lingers on after she\'s gone. Like a ghost that haunts even in spite of the pain.
Interesting you talk about being inspired by Brontë.
My early influences were Dostoevsky, Kerouac, and Henry Miller, so obviously I killed money lenders, bummed around a lot and courted unstable women. Ah youth.
Good write.
Ps, I never killed money lenders, my torment came from other sins.

There’s a damn haunted-romantic atmosphere here, with the moors, rattling windows, dying candles, creaking beams, and spectral gale making the dead lover feel like he’s still physically haunting the landscape. The final “fevered hope of a reunion again” is what gives all that Gothic machinery its heart—the ghost isn’t really the frightening thing; it’s the living speaker’s inability to stop longing for someone who is already gone.

What a terrific gothic piece, Kevin. The moors, the old house, the spectral presence, and that desperate longing for reunion all feel steeped in the same storm. Dark, romantic, and beautifully haunted, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I don\'t deserve to be here - I knw nothing of Wuthering heights. However I don\'t really believe you had to tell me it was Gothic...
A creepy write.

Some wonderful lines \"And was your old temper within the Mad Gale; That Hammered the doors with a tearful tale\" great rhyme as well made this a haunting poem and a fave

When I was turning 12, I began reading Wuthering Heights. I would have done so earlier but I was told that it was too \"grown up\" for a primary school child. Something about the novel stayed with me and that appears to now be revealed and encapsulated in your poem. Perhaps ghost-pacing the moors is a type of thinking/mental-emotional state metaphorised in Cathy, almost a stand in for the insomnia of the mind. But I may fly off on a tangent if I don\'t stop, if it hasn\'t already begun.

Double Whammy
Thomas W Case said:
There’s a damn delightful dad-joke precision to both of these, with the setups sounding almost respectable before the final words yank the rug out—“Aloha Temperature” is gloriously terrible in exactly the right way. “None Direction” is even cleaner, though: the girlfriend says he has no sense of direction, so he gets up and goes “Right”—a wonderfully stupid little punchline that lands because it’s so perfectly literal.

No experience of a Hawaiian Pizza, thankfully, but some with a burnt pizza and a blunt knife in particular the one where half shot the beer off the table and the other landed in my lap - one redeeming element: the pizza was so dry it did not threaten my sartorial elegance one whit.
I decline to involve myself in marital disputes of any kind.
