    Singing 'Fairytale of New York' in an Empty Karaoke Bar

    As the evening stretches beyond skyscrapers sunset cracks windows and voices, midnight lies as a would-be lover counting her footsteps across Brooklyn Bridge to an anonymous apartment, where she imagines waking to her lipstick on his coffee cup   Washing machine skies spin skeins of colour red always bleeds into the blue and JFK...

    • Dear R,

      The visual and imagined images are outstanding in this piece. For me, there such a sense of coping with life especially at Christmas. You incorporate iconic structures of NY throughout giving this an energetic current running underneath the words from start to finish. I really enjoyed seeing the people, appreciating the buildings and mostly the confessional admission within the piece. Fab write. H🌷

      • As someone once sang, it’s been a good year for the roses. Heart upon heart, life below humility, Christmas 2025 once seemed a distance away. It was only true friendship & family who drove my sleigh. Maybe, one day, I will become a poem. Huge Welsh hugs and thanks H. x

    • The opening catching one’s imagination as you tell us a story through poetry. I enjoyed this.

    • Well now, this is quite a large gift for us readers. Definitely weighty but not overdone. It brings so much to light, as you build the “Blade Runner” scenery throughout.
      really good stuff, Rob. A hell of an offering for the holidays.

      • Never considered the blade runner angle and this is why I always hope to submit on poetry sites. Everyone reads their own perspective. Thank you Mark.

    • Demon guardian angel protecting you as you sleep. Interesting concept.

    • When I was a kid I had a guardian angel picture hung over my bed courtesy of my mom.
      It was guiding two children over a bridge.
      As I got older i took it down to redecorate. I can’t find it now.
      Maybe I ticket her or him off. lol but there are times I tune into certain vibes that give me warning
      Signs before something goes down.

      Enjoyed the read Meme

      Merry Christmas amigo!

      • At one tomes we, humans, had a six sense or maybe even a seventh sense. It’s what kept humans alive for tis long, our ability to sense danger at times. We even had a stronger connection with nature and the spirit realm, and we trusted this connection. But with knowledge, the sciences in particular, we made the third eye lazy and calcify, breaking our connection. Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you and yours Lady
