Mother
Cheeky Missy said:
I can never answer for your mother, yet the memory of what my own late mother loved to tell me lingers. If yours is similar, it was never a yearning for grandeur, but rather success for the exquisite little character who knew nothing and for whom she trembled at relinquishing to the inevitable disappointment which haunts every last one of us. I knew in losing her I lost who loved me as none else did or could, excepting my father. Beautifully rendered with a haunting poignancy and excellent imagery. Thank you for sharing.

Mother
Tony Grannell said:
A beautiful poem with an awfully sad ending, as if ridden with guilt and such a lack of self esteem and yet the mother\'s love still overwhelms. No matter whatever the compunction, a mother\'s love will never wane and therein the succour to see one through the tribulations of life. A profound a poem as it is in its excellence. Very well done, my dear friend.
Do take care now,
Tony.

All too soon we are weaned and find ourselves, untethered - umbilically orphaned and with a voice in our mind that sounds like mom. 🙏🏻🕊️

She looks like a wise old girl, she is really beautiful, I hope you find the root cause to your panic attacks dear Tristan, not nice to know you suffer this and I wish you nothing but healing. We all go through times in life with some sort of trauma even when we do not feel or know it. Hugs my friend, Chloe is a true beauty. 🌹

If any animal has a soul, it\'s surely a dog. Loyal, doting, Chloe in a poem oozing with love. You are very lucky, Tristan to have such a grand companion.
Wishing you, fine health and happiness.

It is interesting how there can be such a strong bond between a dog and man. I have had dogs and other animals with which I have had such a bond and this poem encapsulates it well. Loved it.

The blank space before the, \'never mind\', says it all, that is, saying nothing. Enough to dampen any, wow. Excellent, my friend.
All the very best,
Tony.

They say that it is what is not said that matters and so it is in this poem. I love the white between the print in this work. Very nice my friend

Betrayal
arqios said:
Looking at getting tone on paper… probably the toughest of these traitors. Subtle betrayals… breathe even makes the mark. A sure assassin. 🙏🏻🕊

A cleverly crafted write a sense of the double edged sword, and maybe some betrayal in the write, enjoyed the read

Were we betrayed by Obi or Popeye, or both? And - don\'t I think of anyone else besides those two? LOL.

Hahaha, but of course! And I\'d have it no other way. I\'m happy to be me. This gorgeous itty bitty pretty number packs a punch in tantalizing brevity. Superb. Thank you for sharing. I love it. Excellently rendered with a piercing poignancy and sparse imagery.

Friend, I can feel the blood rushing as I read each line, and my heart fills with courage enough to take down an army single-handedly. Heroic. Greetings.

Being “owned” had quite a strong meaning in Gen Y and such. “Pwned” in gamer parlance. When we rise above we have a sense of not being owned or whatever the term is these days🙏🏻🕊️

Funny, \"... hath no fury like a woman scorned.\" Wasn\'t it? Concluding on that note, manhood seems to beautifully assert itself. Fascinating. This is a very pretty number in your characteristic style with gorgeous imagery and a ringing, provocative poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

La dee! Were we, every last one of us, clowns in our various circles before finally being shown as artists and poets/poetesses? There\'s so much in this pretty number which resonates and seems to reverberate as if--? Gorgeously rendered with excellent imagery, fascinating effects, and a charming though painful poignancy. Thank you for sharing.
