Deep gratitude my friend. This story, based on a dream about my late former wife, was the most emotional dream I have ever had about here. Very glad you enjoyed this, my friend. That means so much to me. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much Fia. Glad you enjoyed this. This vignette was based entirely on a dream I had a couple of nights ago. Much appreciated.

Dreams always have some kind of meaning behind them. Trying to figure that meaning out is the hard part. Perhaps the lost dress was a representation of words that were never spoken. Or desires never totally met. The ending is warm and affectionate. As a poet or writer, dreams can be of value, which in this case, was beneficial for a good story with a happy ending. 🙂

Tim I love your insights here. Indeed you illuminate he hidden nature of meaning in dreams. Indeed, I do think the lost dress held a meaning. As did the atm machine. I could imagine the atm machine meaning that the love we had was never really about money but that she was looking for something more than what money can buy from me. Thank you so much for sharing your insightful thoughts here. They were greatly appreciated.

Chère C.,
In the Netherlands, we believe that everyone has ‘een rugzakje’. A backpack, but the addition of ‘je’ can’t be translated as far as I know. It’s there to indicate that sometimes it’s heavy and sometimes less. If I make any sense.In this rugzakje we all carry things from present and past (mostly).
The thing for others, is to accept other rugzakjes too. I hear what you say, and at the same time I know that there will be more people who will support and embrace you.The days will be getting longer. I hope that more hours of light will strengthen you.
Warm regards, Gus

Damian was the one that stood out right away. Interesting, I don’t think I’ve seen a puzzle as a poem before.
Nice work.-

Read MoreIntimacy left the bedroom, drifted quietly down the street. Wanting only human closeness, with no intent to cheat. It wandered past the neighbours, took a shortcut through the park.

Thanks Damian…..watch out for those Gnomes.

I love the idea of this, the imagery. The whole gnome part almost, but not quite, adds a whimsy to it. Yet the despair overcomes that brief slide towards “not so bad”. The ending is perfect. The whole write is great stuff.

Awesome. Not everything can be labelled poetry, as we all write our version of it. This definitely is poetry. It is full of great imagery for the reader to feast on. You write such strong, sturdy material. An educated writer through reading and being inspired, I percieve. You got it going on Paulo.

Thank you for the gaze that reads me whole, for naming poetry where I only sowed a pulse. If my images fed you, it’s because your eyes were hungry. We write each other, always for your words now strengthen mine. Big hug!
