Both memories and insights share as fruits and thorns of a long term relationship, a number of which call up some memories of my own.
Thanks for that.

Paul Bell said:
Yes, if at first you don\'t succeed, chuck it.

Revenge is my name
sorenbarrett said:
The sense of revenge and sweet retribution for wrongs is felt in this write. It speaks of an eye for an eye in other words and the proverbial statement that revenge is a plate best served cold.

Diary of a Mad Man
sorenbarrett said:
Insanity defined as departure from reality but what is reality do we know. Another definition might be to be out of the norm of thought but if the norm is departed from reality would it not be better to be insane seeing things more clearly than the mass\'. A most interesting poem where one is never free in thought it being influenced by what is defined as normal and what one feels as comfort. Well done

Lost in Search of a Saved Child
sorenbarrett said:
In this soliloquy there is much I can identify with. Age takes a toll on our perspective and fogs the back of that glass of that mirror but polishes the reflective front. We may see ourselves well but can not see through. A wonderful read and a fave
