I Coulda Been a Poet
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Absolutely brilliant. I was bracing for daggers and lust...then bam! Hit with a nostril twist worthy of the Bard himself. A perfect sonnet of sabotage, Tony. You got me good on this one, my friend. 🌹👏 As for the title: Me too! 🤣

Been there, done that. A read that made me think of all those things I can not think about when I write or the mind goes blank. Loved the surprise ending. A fun read.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
This one doesn’t flinch, and neither did I while reading. You walk us through guilt, memory, and the haunted space between repentance and judgment with such stark precision. That final couplet lands like a gavel, but the whole poem lingers. Difficult subject, masterfully handled...only the way you can,Tony. 🌹👏 A true poet!

Waiting for Nora
Tristan Robert Lange said:
This is the kind of poem that hikes the line between history and heartache with steady boots and a tender soul. I truly could feel the cold seeping in through the stones, hear the snarl of that bus, and see Nora stepping into a love that had waited with grief-forged patience. A beautiful, bog-trodden, bone-deep journey. Another fave of yours, Tony! You never cease to capture my imagination and heart with your writing. 🌹👏

This poem tells the story of a sad human condition. I\'ve often wondered if those, whom we find the most detestable, ever had the opportunity to follow a different path. No one is born bad. Your compassion for the person who might have been reveals an understanding of the human condition, but in the end it\'s about just deserts. Brilliant!!!

Once again you have done it a poem for all of us. Deeply personal it speaks of us all to some degree or other. A very human poem of life good and bad, joy and pain, regrets and the question of not so much where does God put him but where do we and where does he? Another fave my friend

Tony quite the tale that would make any novel proud as a beginning. Nicely done it takes the reader on a journey with both characters and countryside. Very well written

Your poem is a rich, sensory journey; woven with romance, mystery, and stunning imagery. The language feels regal and immersive, wrapping each verse in emotion and elegance. You\'ve created a vivid world where love and landscape meet, and it\'s a joy to wander through. Truly impressed by the care and detail you’ve poured into it with your captivating voice.

I feel the beauty of the dessert by starlight here, and love in the midst of this splendor. Elegant, eloquent and alluring. Breathtaking!

Another delightful poem this time of love in an exotic setting. The imagery take me to where I have never been but in movies, books and dreams. Love portrayed in metaphor is softer but also more full of splendor and laying behind all this the subtle setting of the feminine curves of dunes. Simply brilliant Tony and another fave.

Tony, this is utterly enchanting. Your command of rhythm and imagery here is exquisite...every stanza is shimmering with sensuality and poetic grace. There’s a timelessness to this piece, a kind of mythic allure that feels both intimate and epic. Truly, a masterwork and a fave. 🌹👏

Fishing lines I see as poetic lines here. (you\'ll get no fancy stuff about metaphor from me!😜) And you reel them in with absolute dexterity. Wish I had half that skill.

Tony, this is breathtaking. I’ve read a lot of poetry on this site, but you, my friend, are always on another level. The craft here is masterful—the rhythm, the turn of phrase, the effortless glide between pastoral peace and worldly reckoning. This…this is poetry that remembers the soul and that the soul remembers. Thank you for continuing to share your gift, dear friend. I hope all is well. 🌹👏

Another fave Tony I have no idea about other sites but your poems deserve far broader exposure. This poem of the thoughts of a fisherman of the world around him from close to far country to city, people common to poor comes to close with the last few lines. We all are in the end concerned with our next meal and those that we sit with to dine. As for prayers take it or leave it a nice habit but few really believe.

Tony I have to count myself a fan of yours. Another masterful poem. It rhyme and meter carry one on as waves and the pairing of the sea with the human thought and emotions of the narrator are so well done. I must say mastering one\'s feelings is as hard as mastering the sea itself and the likeness is very well matched. Self forgiveness and self control require a good deal of seamanship. Very nice Tony another Fave
