A little like my dreams - after they\'ve been extended, distorted, they are often enjoyable in their own right, so I just accept without understanding.
And so it is here. Though I doffs me cap at the amount of energy it must take to construct one of your word, or rather letter sculptures, Tristan.

This is only my take, someone is laughing and mocking at the misery (possibly that they have caused), only to happy to highlight it to everyone. Then seen as damaged goods they walk away, apart from that I have no idea!!. A enjoyable mind bender this one

A most interesting shape and manner of format. As direction changes and one letter runs into another. As the use special characters replace a normal letter they take on new meaning. To an obtuse soul like me a bit obscure. Mind provoking none the less. If I were to put myself in the place of the writer with no one touching impurity I would be left a lonely soul with no human touch.

This piece is chilling and unforgettable and its refrain of “you cared” works like a haunting echo, turning tenderness into something macabre. The imagery of coldness, rigor, and ghostly return makes the poem feel like a gothic ballad of love and possession. It’s unsettling, but in the best way possible, the kind of poem that lingers long after reading.

That is one hell of a way to describe a relationship that died a slow painful death. The coldness and despair that descended on the emotions until everything fell apart. even after experiencing that kind of emotional torment some will still carry the torch of love to their grave and beyond. Right i have finished waffling, great write, enjoyed the read

Tristan -when I first looked, I misread ‘ghazal form’ as ‘ghastly form’ 😅(You said it first!)
Do you need me to acknowledge the amount of sweat, energy and time you put into that, me old mate?

Tristan this could be called a murder love ballad it has a gothic flavor but at the same time could be taken as totally metaphoric and speaking of the death of the relationship not the person per say . The rigor mortis being nothing more that the stiffness of touch in a cold relationship. the pale and blackening face nothing more that change of emotions on the face of one that is dreading the view of the other or black anger at their continued presence. A relationship where one once cared but no more. Either way it is a descriptive poem of death either of the person or relationship or both. Ghostly indeed. Very nicely written

Well written, your poem explores the themes of lost love, betrayal, and the haunting nature of memory. It depicts a relationship that has soured, leaving the speaker in a state of despair and emotional coldness, even after death.

What a cool form! I will need to try sometime. It\'s so intricate and I like it a lot! As for the experience, certainly a message that shows trust issues on one part.

A most interesting dialog where absolute truth only exists in the mind and trust seen by one may be deception seen by another. In fine there is no truth only belief and trust is relative to perception and faith. A lovely wirte Tristan, thought provoking

A lovely write of a putrid group that in their slime of a world of filth proclaim it as the only worthy measure of reality. Well written and nicely worded to give the feel of sticky ooze that it is. Also applies to politicians and rabid followers. A fave my friend

Agree totally. It also closely mirrors not taking authority in vain. That’s abuse and misuse.

If this was today, I could see Jack the ripper going crazy over spring heeled Jack and his exploits. Just not on Gov, we can\'t have people like you running around London scaring people when I\'m trying to kill them. Mind you, in today\'s London, both of them wouldn\'t last five minutes.

A bit of a twist for me, yet l enjoyed it. Your poem explores the intersection of class, crime, and identity within the context of contemporary British society. It contrasts the mundane reality of a witness\'s life with the sinister events that unfold, culminating in a confrontation with a seemingly noble yet malevolent figure. The poem critiques social decay and the fear that arises from a perceived loss of safety and moral integrity.

Tristan, I love this style. It works so well with the intermittent interjections from either party. It tells the tail of spring jack not well known in the United States but I know historically was quite the thing in England. Very nicely done for this season of the year it shows shades of darkness. Well done, my friend.

I think he has proven beyond doubt he has no regard for other life except his own, happy for putin to keep killing Ukrainians, supplies Israel to the teath so they can commit genocide, blames every ever committed in America on immigrants. All from a man who feigned injury to get out of military service and is the son of immigrants, maybe if Americans put the gun down, that might cut the crime rate, anyway enjoyed the read
