Spring

Spring is sprung.... but if it is anything like where I live that day was spring (in my case autumn) and you\'ve had it...
Did get the feeling though.

Allie, this is quietly heartbreaking…there’s something about how simple it is that makes it land even harder. That feeling of something left unsaid just lingers. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Breaking the rules
Doggerel Dave said:
Beyond my capacity to achieve most of those acts of defiance, but I sure as hell get the sentiment.

A wonderful poem of not only rebellion but being oneself just for the sake of doing what one wants and enjoys this is emphasized in the subtle ending where the whole poem rhymes wonderfully and the expectation of a rhyme on the last line is not fulfilled. This reflects the feelings of many including myself and is a fave

Take those risks

Wish I had received that advice (and acted upon it) when I was young....
Straightforward truth.

Such a great statement. How many times have we all failed to ask and regret it later. Well done

Career
sorenbarrett said:
So short but communicates so much. Work is nature\'s and society\'s way of making one subservient to demands. A most lovely write

Sounds of life
sorenbarrett said:
Familiar sounds that reassure the noises of comfort and joy. A lovely write about how sounds are so reassuring and make one at home. Lovely

It is all in a point of view that mood forms. Nicely written and so identifiable. Assuming that all things happen for the best keeps my attitude on track.

Depersonalization
sorenbarrett said:
There was a time that I identified with that sentiment, then I grew older and all vanity went away. It is the defects that give character to a person or any object of value. My poem today is coincidentally about just that. This poem capitalizes on rhyme and meter to emphasize the point and is a fave

Caring dove said:
Yeah I’m sure it is hard to get older . But I can relate to the looking in the mirror and sometimes not seeing me .. sometimes I experience that or feel like a stranger is staring back at me but maybe that’s partly my dissociation

Straws

To draw the short straw has always had a set meaning and here in this poem the straws are getting shorter.

To put myself together

So nice bits and pieces of all that different people have of good. Picked and chosen borrowed to make yourself better. A lovely write

What is love?
sorenbarrett said:
A pet peeve of mine the definition of love in the English language. It is used for everything from passion to a favorite object. Love to me is far deeper it is that way we look at someone that means more than words and a lasting feeling that does not die even when we can not live with them anymore it is eternal. A wonderful write

Demar Desu - 德马尔·德苏 said:
OH BABY DON\'T HURT ME! DON\'T HURT ME! NO MORE! --- lol all jokes aside great poem sometimes I question what love is all the time, even when my partner asks me if I love them, and I do not know, I still say I do because even if in that moment I may not feel love I know I have it.. idk if that makes sense. I like your poem though, it brings up love in experiences... I use to just enjoy love for living but these days i\'m tired A. Anyways yeah great poem

So much that seems out of our control now days and we see it coming but there is little that can be done to stop it. Harrowing.

Hate in the house
Doggerel Dave said:
Disputes of this kind take a terrible toll on the kids - they love both parents...and...
Should a divorce ensue, it is still possible to have a harmonious open relationship (I’ve witnessed it). However this takes two people of intelligence and openness with the ability to negotiate through their arrangements with respect to child care… Now these are qualities not possessed by everyone and fuckwits get married or have relationships all the time.

Poetic Licence said:
It is a very messy and painful experience however hard you try for it not to be, especially for the children. In situations like this we the adults often think the children are ok and they will adjust to all the changes, but that is not always the case. Well penned and expressed

When we don’t try
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Allie, this feels raw and unfiltered…like a list of small defeats that stack into something heavy. There’s no glamorizing it. And “Putting in effort is getting really really tough” lands with honest exhaustion. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
