Oh, Christmas, why am I in this women\'s shop trying to remember what size, what colour, what style she said.
What is wrong with a big flowery dress, every woman should have one. Okay, underwear department, why does she need underwear, she has millions.
Okay, my task is done, I deserve a drink.

Friendship, the whole poem carries this gentle grief…the way memory and reality drift apart until the voice becomes the anchor. It is tender, honest, and full of lived truth. So very well penned, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Telling piece, the voice may stay the same, but time sometimes does you no favours.
Sadly we\'re all getting older, leaving the young behind us.

A most beautiful poem that encapsulates our difficulty dealing with the ravages of time and the decay that changes the map. Written in a most wonderful rhyme that is subtle and to some hidden. It evokes a sense of sadness and melancholy that is nostalgic at the same time. Very well done

You\'re just not worth it.
Paul Bell said:
When you bring someone into your confidence, and they betray it, you must never hesitate to get rid of them.
Trust is everything in life. Old bones out, new bones in.

My friend, the strength here is quiet but undeniable…the reclaiming of identity, the naming of harm, the final choice to walk toward kinder ground. It’s tender, fierce, and steady all at once. A powerful piece. And OMG, I love the image tons! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A poem where pulling in and withdrawal are a protection from great pain and hurt. It is at times easier to fly than confront. So well worded and constructed it speaks to the perceived attacks of an unaccepting world. Fragile enough that two words can breach the inner doors and leave one exposed. A raw expression of hurt and pain so profound that building barriers is one\'s only defense. Very nicely composed and rhymed.

I have read that idiots are often happier people than geniuses, with room between for the rest of us. Nice work.

Ignorance!
Paul Bell said:
Ignorance is bliss, or at least for a while.
For some it might be days, others years.
It\'s the avalanche when the truth does surface, and we\'ve seen this in real life when people walkaway, never to return.

My friend, this is beautifully crafted…the velvet dark, the planned hypocrisy, the truth arriving with “chilling grace.” You traced the whole journey from false shelter to necessary awakening. Stunning work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Bravo! This poem expresses deep feelings peeled away from a core of anger. So well expressed in good rhyme as well that seems to hold the very bulging boundaries of rage from bursting forth. A lovely write of emotion contained with mere words. it pulses and lives under the surface. Very nicely done a fave

Quieting stress
Tristan Robert Lange said:
My friend, this is soothing in the deepest way…the frantic hum settling into slow breath, the world softening into quiet. You wrote a calm we can step into. A fave for sure. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Quieting stress
sorenbarrett said:
I’ve given the description of stress, illustrated with numerous images and metaphors. Very nicely written it evokes a sense of stimulation and even overstimulation. The last bit leaves me feeling as though the way to resolve stress is to focus upon quieter thoughts and this is one good strategy. It sounds as though it works and it’s useful and anything that is productive is good. Very nice.

Letting go.
Paul Bell said:
They always say when you let go, you get released, yet letting go can be the ultimate struggle.
Probably why humans wrestle themselves into an early grave.

Friendship, this lands with a gentle strength…the unclenching fingers, the hush of the void, the hum of what’s next. I’ve walked that release myself, and you write it with clarity and compassion. Love it, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Letting go.
sorenbarrett said:
So nicely composed in structure, meter and rhyme a poem that speaks to letting go of emotions, feelings, the past. A realization that what has been held dear has ripened and now must fall from the tree. What with time has ripened now will rot on the stem if not dropped. Very nicely done and a fave

Assumption
arqios said:
Growing up, I didn\'t have as much emotional intelligence and still lack at times these days. There was an unspoken love that you had to learn and navigate in silence. The poem tells me that we cannot love what we cannot hear. And sometimes the reverse can also be true, that if it\'s all we ever hear but not felt in action it becomes empty sounds that lie to us giving false hopes and assumptions. A very powerful read here. 🕊️🙏

Your own author\'s note encapsulates this poem\'s meaning. Assuming is a necessary part of life but for fairness requires checking them out with the other person and being open minded enough to reject our version for theirs when corrected. Assumptions build walls of imprisonment that need to fall when discovered false. And yes as stated in the poem changes assumption to understanding when one listens and accepts. A most thought provoking write

Friendship, this is powerful…the “dust within the hand” moment names what fear really is, and I’ve felt that same unraveling of illusion myself. You captured its shadow and its ending in one breath. Stunning! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
