Notice of absence from Tom Dylan
Sorry if there is a delay in responses. Sometimes life gets in the way. As John Lennon said, life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

I’m sticking with you, poetry.
I think we should work on our differences,
we should forget the fact that
we move in different social circles,
that none of my friends like you,
that they all disapprove of our relationship.
I’m sticking with you, poetry,
even though sometimes
I’m not quite sure of the point
that you are making,
and sometimes I wish
you’d just spit it out,
and say what you mean.
I’m sticking with you, poetry,
because when it’s good,
it is out of this world,
we have a connection
that’s like family,
like falling in love,
like having a backstage pass
to see the best band in the world,
because there are times when
only you understand me,
times when you speak
the truth that I desperately need to hear.

You staying?! lol. Good write T.
I am still much more of a story writer rather than a poet, sometimes I think, what on earth am I rambling on about. 🙂 Today I am of the mind that yeah, I will not be breaking it off with poetry just yet. Thanks as always for your comments. Cheers.
Excellent write Tom
Thanks as always for your comments, Tony. Really appreciated.
You're welcome
Here here! I'll vote for that. I love the way that you have personalized poetry and made it a lover. I feel the same although none of my friends or family approve either. I and poetry eloped long ago after a prolonged affair.
Yes, my friends really do not understand my love of poetry. Glad it is not just me. And love the way you carried the theme on in your comment, Soren. Thanks as always for your comments. Really appreciated.
Dear Tom, so many don’t appreciate the value of poetry. Stick with it. It has been a great friend to me for many years. Enjoyed what you had to say here.
Thanks for your comments, Cassie. My relationship with poetry is rather new. I have always been more of a story writer but there is something magical about the form. Thanks again.
You are welcome.
The secret’s out, a reflection of my relationship with poetry right here in a tour de force! Liked and Faved 🙏🏻👍🏻🕊
Thanks so much, arqios. Glad it is not just me. Really appreciate your comments, mate.
You’re welcome Tom 👍🏻🙏🏻🕊️
Poetry is something that comes from the heart. It comes out in many different ways. It's something that calls to you and your compelled to write it down. Keep your quill wet Tom. 👍
Yes, complete agree, AP. Thanks so much for your comments. Really appreciated.
Nice One Tom Felt The Rhythms
Like A Nice Tune
Thanks so much, Reynaldo. Really appreciated.
I am sticking with you poetry as well Tom.
Andy
Glad to hear it, Andy. Thanks so much for your comments.
I understand everything you say.
There are some People I wouldn’t mention that I write Poetry, in case of funny looks. Like going into a Music Store and in a loud voice asking for a ‘Little Mix’ Album and damn the consequences.
And the Relationship between Poetry and Writer is well observed. Poetry is a good friend, Companion. Fine Write.
Mate, I love the Little Mix analogy. That is exactly it. A lot of people know I write stories, but only my closest circle know I dabble in the dreaded poetry. Thanks a lot for your comments. Really appreciated.
Hear ye! Hear ye! Three cheers!!! There's a very good reason, but I'll spare you for today. Delightfully rendered with such a winsome poignancy and delectable imagery and spirit. Thank you so very much for sharing!
