Jabberwocky, this is delightfully cheeky! The innocent rhythm makes the innuendo even funnier...romance and appetite become wonderfully indistinguishable. I may never look at the morning meal quite the same way again! Great fun, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

My friend, this one has teeth! Sharp, clever, and painfully true about two people expecting entirely different exchanges. Loved it. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

The enigma of a misplaced relationship and likely much more besides.
Neat fit in the writing.

Lie in
Tristan Robert Lange said:

This cracked me up, my friend. A questionable forecast, a comfortable alternative, and suddenly staying put becomes the only rational decision. Brilliant little write! πŸ€£πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

Now that is usually the truth unless one has a bad roof. A fun read that many, including myself, can identify with. Well done

Damn, Jabberwocky...four lines, and every one of them lands. Dark, sharp, and painfully honest. Powerful work, my friend! πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

What a tender and honest piece, Jabberwocky. Abandonment has narrowed the speaker’s world, but fatherhood has also filled it with purpose, love, and responsibility. The title captures that mixture of loss and gratitude perfectly. Beautifully done, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

The plight (no, situation) of the single parent. A situation of cohesion rather thn desperation which I found warming. Many two parent families do not achieve that.

What a tale within such few words. Nicely rhymed and with good meter and flow. Honorable father taking care of what he created. I loved the part that says he looked like her and her like you such a nice way of saying all are one. Well done my friend

Doggerel Dave said:

β€œOh stuff it now, I’ll do it myself;
No more maidens awaiting a knight.
And If he turns up I’ll have him too -
This here maiden is ready to bite.”

The missing verse?
Two apologies due: (a) for the above and (b) for not having crossed your path before.

Tristan Robert Lange said:

What a powerful piece, Jabberwocky. The speaker still recognizes suffering and feels the impulse to intervene, but too many betrayals have turned compassion into self-protection. Passing the responsibility onward feels weary rather than cruel…and terribly human. Excellent write, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

We all make judgements and interventions as if we were a god yet how fallible we are and in fact so are the gods. Very nicely written with rhyme and good flow it sings to me.

My friend, the final turn gives this little piece tremendous weight. Poetry becomes a way of surviving what cannot be changed. Excellent write, Jabberwocky. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

Tristan Robert Lange said:

My friend, I know the strange fear that peace might quiet the very darkness that once fed the poetry. This captures that tension beautifully. Great work, Jabberwocky. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

Thomas W Case said:

There’s something tender and damn sad about reaching peace in the poem while your own mood can’t quite follow you there. I like how the rain washes everything clean, yet somehow leaves the memory of pain behind.

To forgive but not forget comes to mind with this poem. Pain may remain but anger is gone. Well written

L. B. Mek said:

I recognise these words of frustration
penned succinctly poetic by you
thanks for sharing, dear poet
(sometimes, it seems our world
is full \'of lover\'s without love\'
and \'humanist peace seekers
devoid of a night\'s decent rest\'
as if
in our very questing for the calm rivers
in existence\'s chaotic seas
fate paths a far more ominous journey
for us to earn the wisdom, we seek.)
