    • We remembered this time, hahaha. Thank you Lady this one took it’s toll of us, but we got it written

    • I have seen similar situations. Habits can manifest into monsters. Change people into someone
      you don’t recognize. By the time you realize what happened it’s too late, too many bridges burned.
      I believe as long as you’re alive you can change but at times people feel it’s too difficult. They prefer what is familiar.
      This write really reminds me of friends who get lost in finding themselves. They don’t remember how to look beyond that mirror. Great reflective write.

    • What a story, Me. She got herself together one more time and did the routine before she can move on.
      It’s hard for some. It would be for me.
      You presented this well.

      • Hahaha, maybe she got herself together once again and went out, before returning and dying beside her soul mate. Just a thought, Thanks Lady

    The Man Who Sold The World Replies

    THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD REPLIES There is no dream on Walden’s Pond where once blue-green waters lapped the shores noisily in the liquid swirl of an October wind. Long gone is Neruda’s verse, the vision of the isle he called home; the salty...

    • This is very good. I even went back and read it again, to absorb all that it offers. It’s well thought out. Quite an accomplished write. I love that it held my interest all the way through. Well done.

    • Compelling throughout & what a novel concept you have introduced me to .. Story poems so become you .. and consequently awarded x5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐plus the prestigious Nev’s dubble 👍👍

    • I liked how this poem came out. I never saw them (Obsession and this one), as Part 1 and Part 2, though I realize that’s what they are. A part 3?? not sure, it’s been 20 years since these 2 poems were written, but I will think about it.

      Thank you ‘HER’. I am glad you enjoyed the read.
