Powerful. Vivid and sharp.

Clever along with the confusion of “knowing” how things will go. This is short but sharp as hell.

This reads like playing chess.
Or even tennis.
Well done!

Powerfully penned, Sam. Excellent write with a little back and forth going on my friend. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

I agree it is like a chess move. really good Sam

You always could pen something lovely when you allow yourself. ♥️ nice poem

keep trying ..

This is kinda where my mind has been lately. I recently took a lower paying, more physically demanding job just to access these very feelings. I just wanted feel what real living is like again. You’ll only get what you give, and many of us have to give a lot more just to get a little, but these are the conditions that shape the poet. Keep trying, and keep in mind that more people see you than you realize! Life is hard fkn work! But I know you know this, because you are a poet!!

Thankfully you, we all, have access to let it all out in writing. That is our strongest voice. God knows that creative writing really helped me become who I am. I still have a vocal glitch, that hits me whenever it wants, but it isn’t a handicap. I have learned to be confident regardless. Writing gives us a super power. You will win the battles Fia.
Awesome write.

Powerfully penned, Fia. Another excellent write with many deep layers my friend. This one has a musing vibe while turbulence is stirring beneath the surface. I concur with Mark. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you, Cuz.

I believe the ledger will be balanced, when one meets God.

I’m not much for reading the stories. But I did this one, and I wasn’t disappointed. Well done.

I had to read this twice… the first was in the dark… then I switched on the light and read it again… wow .. you always make things difficulty amazing… your writing is just just… amazing… and you make me forget words… I only remember amazing

Thank you so much for your kind comment, Sam. I have released a book book (a book that lends itself to being read in the old style by the hearth of a cosy fire, flicking pages as opposed to flicking ebook screens): Hearts & Minds written from a male perspective by Daniel Furl. Unbelievably, for me, you, us writers, I’m venturing out of my shell, selling the book (others, too) at leisure centres and village craft markets! The opening part, Trains, has railway-mad Daniel, aged 10 narrating his early life, spotting trains. It leads into Chasing Trains, mysterious and dark! The perfect fit. I’ll message you about posting the cover here, I’ll donate! Harriet-Jacqui xx
