Made me smile .. maybe because I\'m here in the UK at the moment but I do remember those nasty critters from when I\'ve been your side of the Pond before .. Incidentally, I\'m back for a few days in mid November so maybe you could advise what they are like then .. pretty please .. Neville

If winter offers the coolness sufficient for sweaters, I\'m guessing you\'re in the upper part nearer Pensacola where I lived for a brief spell, and where the January \'94 snowfall was a marvel. Haha for the clever image! Mosquitoes seemed to prefer me back in the day, my father protesting they didn\'t bother him nor his friend, albeit they were eating me alive. Prettily rendered with excellent feeling, great imagery, and palpable sense of the inescapable misery. I\'m sorry you\'re suffering. Thank you for sharing.

The heat can be draining and the imprisonment in one\'s own house a solitary confinement. Mosquito guards outside make escape impossible or at least uncomfortable. Hope you get a break in the heat soon. A fun read for the reader.

At times I could feel in my own flesh what you describe. Last summer I touched madness because of these bugs and heat together. You can feel perfectly what you feel. Excellent written! Enjoy it a lot. Thanks for sharing it. Kind regards

Hello, Friendship,
What a beautiful tribute to a quiet and hardworking fellow in beguiling prose and instances of tender poetic charm. This was lovely to read and as for your artistic skills, the ghost and pumpkins, is art to behold, especially the ghostly sheet, it looks translucent, every crease perfectly depicted. Very well done indeed.
Fond regards,
Tony.

My friend, this captures Florida summer with brutal honesty and just the right splash of humor. The humid heat is its own antagonist in Florida…but those mosquitoes? Straight-up villains. I felt the cabin fever, the slow crawl of time, and the desperate hope for winter’s mercy...which translates to winter\'s wrath up here in Eastern Pennsylvania 🤣. You nailed the atmosphere...hot, heavy, and inescapable. 🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ Well done!

Friendship, this is luminous. It lingers like memory...soft, specific, and quietly sacred. Mr. Krueger feels real because he is...we’ve all known a version of him, or maybe been him ourselves. This is how you write a ghost story with soul. 🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
P.S. I came in wondering if you were paying ol\' Wes Craven an homage, if you are familiar with him and the Nightmare on Elm Street film franchise. Anyway, as fun as that might have been, this was a better direction for Mr. Krueger indeed. Loved it!

An entertaining and affectionate write about the grounds keeper, but delves in and asks about people character and they perceived by the wider world, very Nicely written, enjoyed the read

The image selected to grace this gorgeous memory related to purpose suggests October 31st, as alluded to herein, though it seemed to detract from the warm, affectionate recollection, initially. What a wonderful reminiscence! How sweet. Deliciously rendered with exceptional imagery and a warmly haunting poignancy, how beautifully it lingers in the mind like a spicy fragrance wafting on the mild breeze. Thank you for sharing.

Can you hear me, my friend.
Tristan Robert Lange said:
.Wow, my dear friend. Powerful poem The weight of silence, the hurt of being unseen...it’s all here, carefully and honestly expressed. You’ve given voice to what so many carry quietly. A powerful and compassionate piece. 🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ A fave.

It is a painful and sad existence to feel trapped within your own four walls of your home and your mind, when everything that mattered has gone and you question your own existence. Hopefully when the demolition has been cleared a bright new future will arise out of the debris for them. Very compassionate and caring write

A poem of pain and deterioration of what one once was. Imprisoned inside one\'s own walls hope dwindles and belief is dead. All that survives is anxiety and a faint ember of hope. The knowledge that one has survived to this point fans the ember. Lovely

Cheeky Missy said:
What I cherish about that line diminishing the speaker to the status of \"disposable,\" is that one of my managers several years ago deliberately went to the trouble of informing me that, \"you\'re disposable, you know--\" like, duh. Ergo it\'s \"funny\" hearing the argument presented as if it\'s successfully damning. My own perspective is that of course there\'s not a person alive who\'s not disposable, despite loved ones and clients who may well feel they cannot bear to face the world without that individual\'s effects. Is it a generational malaise that we struggle with a sense of unattainable dreams and worthlessness? Else why do I hear this from you, when I mistakenly believed I alone suffered this? But enough of me.
Beautifully rendered and evocative with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Tony Grannell said:
Hello Friendship,
The hollow loneliness of an outsider, a stranger in their own land and the pangs of trying to fit in where one is not wanted, abandoned without reason, expendable to the point of complete and utter despair. A distressing composition with just a glimmer of hope at the end - at least the word \'home\' was mentioned, may your search for it be successful.
Wishing you all the very best,
Tony.

I can feel the hurt in this, Friendship. The ache in these questions...unanswered, unresolved...reverberates loud and clear. You’ve given voice to a pain so many of us carry in silence. Truly, an excellent job, my dear friend. 🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

So hard to stand alone against the waves and try to hold back the tide. Harder still when hope and dreams like sand washed out from under ones feet leave one adrift. When caught in an undertow and taken far from shore to swim against the current and see the land of dreams can not be reached as strength fails. Yet never give up swim out of the current and one never knows when a boat may give a helping hand. A poem of despair and lost hope of loss and yet the darkest hour is just before the dawn they say. Courage is measured by the adversity it faces

Fly
Cheeky Missy said:
Wasn\'t it the very same critter which saw Aunt Polly giving Pollyanna a pamphlet on the dangers of such creatures on our health, the latter turning that reproof into a game? And living on the Colorado prairies saw my father hanging long, yellow sticky tongues of fly-paper over our kitchen table to yield relief, these collecting the pests until their corpses joined our dishes on the table below. All this for a pesky fly. Prettily rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

My friend, this is stunningly beautiful. Every stanza feels like a doorway...not to escape the world, but to remember we belong to it. The line “a language made of whispering green” especially got me…like the forest finally answered back. Beautifully done. 🌹👏
