Her Passing
Doggerel Dave said:

The pain of loss more than adequately portrayed there, Phil. Your final stanza really makes plain the rawness of memory, which sometimes never heals.

\"Salacious Sal\"
Doggerel Dave said:

Kept me guessing and off on my own fantasies along the way....
That\'s entertainment, Phil..

Alone At Last
L. B. Mek said:

a reality far more common than we like to admit
we speak of loyalty as a moral ideal
yet, we never let ourselves recognise
its trappings..
no horror movie can surpass life
for sheer emotional devastation!
(an important subject
an eloquent narrative poem
a wonderful showcasing of your inking skill)
thanks for sharing dear Poet

Alone At Last
Doggerel Dave said:

I feel all caught up in this one, MF.
The whole issue of domestic violence, the ambivalence felt only gradually drawn out, so well paced. But first hauled in by the issue of capital punishment, which always leaves me in turmoil (no fault of yours…)
A great write (in case I haven’t made myself clear).

Tomorrow\'s Bridges
orchidee said:

A thoughtful write M.
Bit like trying to get the No.7 bus tomorrow (Sunday), but it only runs today (Saturdays). Doh!
The \'crossing the bridge when we come to it\' theme, I mean.
Hope you follow this garbled explanation!

A Love Story
Doggerel Dave said:

That title - l very nearly passed this by - almost didn\'t stop....
Exceedingly glad I did not.
A rant worth ranting. Absolutely no need for an apology. Enjoyed greatly - My circulation is much improved after that read, Phil.

PS: Couldn\'t get a proper handle on K. B. Morrison. Care to enlighten?

Seriously good sir .. They say that fact is often stranger than fiction don\'t they ..

I must confess, due to my former ignorance, I also had a great deal of fun researching your characters Mistinguett and Max (note the e being deliberately removed) Neville

You captured the dynamic of a long term relationship to perfection there, Phil. I felt and could identify with every development, the passing of time…
And so was my time with your work well spent here.
Thanks

Love So Deep
Neville said:


I would say a story wrapped securely within a prose poem .. a compelling read from one end to the other ..

ps -

The shiver down my spine at the conclusion is a clear indication, to me at least, that it was indeed a fine example of poetic prose ..

I could hardly breathe as the tragedy struck in this tale of love and loss Phil - -- so sadly special and truth or not I was captivated by your vivid telling.
