Solitude Acrostic
L. B. Mek said:

an eclectic blend of hope and surrender
that exemplifies the true turmoil, in solitude\'s nature
a very intriguing concept, Andy

Garth Rakumakoe said:

An acquired delight, solitude is. Not for everyone. I\'m quite certain though, many of us here get exactly what it means. A powerful write. Kudos to you, Andy.

Paul Bell said:

I suppose you\'ve got to get it all in prospective. A bit of togetherness, a bit of solitude to regain your thoughts.

Soilitude, that much misunderstood word. Solidity of will and purpose stands out in your words.

Good write Gold.
\'I want to be alone\'. Just call me Great (Garbo).
Being alone, and experiencing solitude, may not be exactly the same things though.

Lost Worries.
spilleronsheet said:

A bookaholic I am
So true you describe the addiction stored
While the lady was reading a book
You surely were reading a life book
And a reader and poet is a wonderful combination
It adds to intuition of people
I wonder what was the lady’s reaction to the poetry of yours

Absolutely. I couldnt agree more with the sentiment expressed. A mind escape, reading is!

The last line stings, and turns everything on its head. Well written. A worthy addition to my favorites list.

What a nice gesture. I hope she enjoyed it as much as we did.

dusk arising said:

The people watching poems you write bring up all kinds of subjects. How brave you are to present your writing to strangers. I would be afraid that it would be seen as a chat-up tecnique in the circumstance you describe with a lady alone.
For me reading has become a luxury reserved now for liesure times away from home now. I started a Grisham novel in hospital but it remains half read. Roll on nicer weather and days out in the car with a peaceful read.

What a beautiful memory
The wonderful dish
It sounds appetising
And your love so inspiring
I hope fate can grant us loving memories like you had with Joyce

dusk arising said:

I\'m sure she was with you in spirit and encouraging you to be the man she loves so much.
Many a lesser man could allow standards to drop but in reading your post today it\'s plain to see that\'s not your way.
Live long and prosper you ball basher.

there\'s nothing as barren
as a table, for one
still, in a month or so
you\'ll be approaching: two years!
and I can only praise you
for the strength and positivity
you demonstrate daily;
choose to believe, in that reunion scene
that approaches
with each passing, sigh..
stay strong, my friend
(salmon cooking details
is mouth-watering, btw)

A Man Of Infinite Leisure.
Paul Bell said:

I was told you weren\'t allowed to retire until you were 95, is this not true then. Leisure is the new work.

A Man Of Infinite Leisure.
dusk arising said:

A wholesome envy (not a sin) fills me as I read this piece. Stuck indoors shielding grrrrr. Though I\'m not as gregarious as yourself, a stroll through town, a walk in the parkland is on my wishlist.

Yes I have read this as an untypical day in the life of a certain Goldfinch.

spilleronsheet said:

It sounds amazing
Maybe tomorrow we would have similar days
Maybe today’s chaos may come with rest tomorrow
It sounds like a vacation to me
Enjoy loads dear Andy
May almighty protect us all
Keep your mask around though

Don\'t Think Too Much.
Garth Rakumakoe said:

Overthinking breeds worry, and half the things we worry about never happen anyway. We really do fuss. Thank you Andy. Well penned!

The truth resides in the brief pause between two thoughts. Beautiful write.

I am an over thinker
And I can feel the after effects it brings to me
It’s a very important advise
Thank you so much dear Andy
