Hannah the Hellion
Parisab said:
Captivating narrative poetry which normally doesn’t sustain my attention. It was powerfully developed with multi dimensional subjects and participants. The ending did not disappoint. Clever women of the sea have existed throughout history and bought and sold sailor “secrets” in the form of psychic knowledge which they also possessed. Thank you.

\'Nantucket\'
sent me straight to \'call me Ishmael\'
and your wonderful short story
was as gripping, as that books
first few chapters
Brilliant!
thank you for choosing to share
your wonderful talent, dear Poet
(there\'s a trace of hellion
in all of us, i think
our actions n words, as trappings
for that we aspire to realise
and chains, stifling our way
of surviving, life)

How I managed to miss these x5 little gems until now is one helluva mystery .. or perhaps not, maybe I was saving the best till last .. whatever the case .. it no longer matters much since each packs one hell of a punch and is quite literarily a crown in its own write ..

indeed a most cleverly crafted and otherwise strategically contrived poem .. a tragic tale told terribly well and pretty on the eye too sir .. what more could one possibly want .. another winner based on so many losses .. a crying shame, for all those directly involved and of course for those who love happy endings ..

Just one brief question before awarding scores ..
Would it be even possible to contemplate passing by here without first leaving the full marks this exceptionally fine story poem most certainly deserves .. The simplest of answers is surely no, it would be impossible .. No kidding Phil, you penned a captivating and most credible tale .. and as yet, I still remain unsure whether Hannah the Hellion is based on some infamous legendary figure, or stems entirely from your own magnificent imagination .. You are the master of this particular genre regardless sir ........... Neville

On an altruistic path a pure agenda is like a new carefully tended crop That farmer , without certain knowledge of the future, proceeds w tireless care , and he learns , and he honors his craft and that land is better and matured and should his love have to start anew , or not(?) his readiness had grown and holds nary a tiny regret. This piece could be about that farmer for
His grand effort is satisfying nourishment

Witty and subtly poignant. A whole love story in a few couplets. Not a hint of artifice, just a touching story told in a way that only poetry can, a stream of images and observations, scenes and exchanges. Bittersweet and reflects a man of deep observations and experience, of even deeper humanity. Thanks!

so pinpoint, acute
especially:
\'The gun dealer is a model citizen\'
(people seldom realise, just
how many guns are in circulation
in USA
and how such a small percentage
create all the issues
and yet, how the very existence
of all those decent citizens
that practice safe gun handling
and ownership, processes
keep the government, from getting
too ambitious...)
an important write, dear Poet

such relatable imagery
and impactful emotive bravery
so many of us, have shared
in such similar events, but
most of us lack the bravery
to word our hurt, so acutely
(I hope these words
have some, cathartic healing
valuation, to you
dear Poet
so that it\'s not just your readers
who benefit
by your purposed utilisation
of poetic therapy)
thank you! a great read

Love poem which I\'m prepared to read only because you wrote it Phil, and therefore I\'m guaranteed a smooth read, free of saccharine sentimentality.

adding to those syllable count, depths
succinct wording, as only a beginning

😂 Good to laugh Phil, otherwise.... Large parts of your picture can be pasted on a few places I can think of (no names...) partly because they feel impelled to slavishly follow \'the greatest economy in the world.\'

You could not have given your poem a better title Phil .. it stands out from the page and sets the scene perfectly for the body of its entirety .. A more than merely moving series of treasured recollections and moments wrapped in a poem of their very own .. and most sadly of all such an enjoyable read .. Neville

You made the connection very clear - not unusual at all, Phil; a very moving portrait of loss, grief and remembrance I\'m sure many will relate to.

This touches the core of many a break-up Phil and will be sure to waken lamentable memores for some - -.those final few lines are so moving. A heart-wrenching read of final appeal when love has to say a last Goodbye.
