Hazy Went the Dark
Fay Slimm. said:
Such a compelling haunt of a read with `imagery to sigh for as the glimpse of new love saunters from dusk to turn haze into light and then changes to real back to dark chapters again - - top drawer writing is \"Hazy went the Dark\" - thanks for the taste of pathos wrapped in poetically potent skill - - a pleasure to read your posting John and look forward to viewing more of your work.

I Have Lost You Now and Lost You Fairly (Revision)
Cwilder said:
Just a beautiful poem that has the poignancy of elegance and the sharp edges of rawness. These lines spoke to me deeply and will haunt me pleasantly as I contemplate them more.
\"I gave up my love to preserve its memory.\"
\"But these tired words won’t wake the dead,\"
I would enjoy writing with you!

Daydream Lies
Fay Slimm. said:
I like the flow of this poignant verse so well inter-rhymed and full of lines built up to that last dark statement. Your pen touches sad times when lovers\' daydreams prove to have lied.

Your questions are more than normally asked as terse line unfolds reasons why the final stanza asks \"are we blessed or cursed\" - food for thought indeed John. Good write.

A fine write. Some say \'Good old days\'. Some say \'Bad old days\', etc. My question seldom, or often asked, is: Why is abbreviation such a long word?! Why not call it \'abb\'?! I will go back to sleep now. lol.
