Hi Thomas.
I completely agree with Nev.
I also liked how you specified 12 years old.
Gave perspective to the reader.

Hello Thomas. Your writing pulls me in every time. As though I’m standing right by you, living through what you wrote. Marvelous description, memorable write.

Beautiful write. The ending really got to me. Thank you for sharing.

I appreciate that.

First you took us to a memory. Then that last line. And that is the reason the memory matters. Beautiful. I knew mine wouldn’t live long, still hurts he’s gone

This is very good, Brenda.

Haha. Loved the attitude at the end.
Yes, we all hope to see our lovers in our next life, cheers to that!

Passionately penned, Brenda. Amazing write my friend. Appreciate you.

Damian

Chère C.,
Oh yes, I can relate to this: between hope and fear.
Love your talent and your ability to (re) organise my mood.

Warm regards, Gus

Sexy write Brenda. Nice work.

I enjoyed this. My favoirite line was “mingling on the winds” something magical.
Kind regards

“hoping you still see something redeemable in me” That is powerful, crimsin

Magnificent write Brenda. The sadness of this piece lured me in.

Brilliantly penned, Brenda. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

As I read I am “tumbling through the centuries” with you. A ghost, witnessing with no power to save. Your writing never disappoints, fantastic piece!

This is deep, Thomas. Great writing.

Powerfully penned, Thomas. That’s it in a nutshell. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

This has got that certain ouch factor Thomas .. so ragged & real .. write on sir .. poetry needs you .. Neville 😎👍

Ouch. There’s a lot rolled into this one. But the short pieces seem to be the most hard hitting, I’ve found

A great truth compelling as it is dark.

James

With an original touch and a Bukowskian pen you gave us a sip of yourself. Well done, Thomas!

Fantastic piece. Well said Thomas.

Thanks

Thanks

Wow this is powerful! Honest and speaking the truth as it IS, maybe in that way it opens more eyes to see.

There is no avoiding this crisis even with two working people in the same home, utilities and groceries are at an all time high. But there may be a reason for this like to pull families together. Tight

Powerfully penned, Brenda. Raw and honest write my friend. There is so much chaos and uncertainty right now in America. All we can do is be there for our family and friends. Appreciate you.

I can totally relate to this poem. This gov’t shutdown has made me incredibly nauseous and sick. The shenanigans these assholes create, jeopardizing hard working people for what. Their gain?! Well said Brenda! Looks like the shutdown is coming to an end real soon. Hopefully your daughter is ok. xo
