We’ve all got some guilt stuffed somewhere in our suitcase. I’ve got plenty of it on my sleeve. I just cover it up best I can and wear a good jacket those guilt flakes can slide off.

I was caught by the title, I love the word “raw” and one of my poems are titled “raw”. Your title is powerful… and in your short poem You expressed the numbness, the despair, the coldness that lives within boldly. One of the toughest lessons humans must learn, that we are enough as we are.

Beautiful work, my friend. Powerful writing.

This sounded like a daydream that you wish came true.

It is true Fia although recalled here from way back, indeed, near lost to time, but saved in this little scribble & hopefully for always .. Thanks for calling .. always appreciated .. Neville

“Marcella does not need reminding of her beauty, but then, occasionally, she likes to be pointed in that direction”. You have such a way of paraphrasing a line, that makes it speak for itself. I am such an admirer of your work, but then, I think you already know that!

My “Icarus” will soon be “falling”. Can’t wait to get your reaction! Oh, btw, I really like your avatar! So distinguished and handsome!

Beautifully penned, Neville. Incredible write my friend. Appreciate you.

Hahah You needed Cliff Notes to read the book. This is good.;))

Book covers are meant to draw you in even if the book itself is rubbish.
I used to plough through books even if they were rubbish….not now.I give them about two chapters.If they haven’t got me by then,it’s arrivederci.
Our partners should be treated the same….lol

I have three books I would like to return. Is that possible.
I must have missed something in those synopses.

Reading has its dangers lol. Can’t help feeling this poem is going to be relatable to many. Made me smile you did Tim.

Clever, funny, and painfully relatable – This is the kind of truth you laugh at because it hurts a little. haha
The final line is brilliant.

So you didn’t read any articles, you just looked at the pictures…LOL

Cleverly penned, Tim. Amazing write my friend. Appreciate you.

So true! A 20 yr old boy at my local market goes on and on about the girl he is going to marry. They met on the Internet a few months ago and met up in person twice. You can’t suggest he slow down. So often, we think we know it all. I was going to be happy when I escaped my .
mother’s home. First hubby was as violent and crazy as her.

I love this. I never read in depth the outline of the or their stories either. A great metaphor you gave loved it 😍

Superb work, my friend.
