The ending with cheque, banked and bankrupt gives this piece a grand force…the questions only hint at!! I d love to see this in the anthology this year! Consider it!

The first two lines begin on a roll..what I like is that the rhyming is fluid in your piece. Unhurried and honest. Well done!!

At each stage I heard like a different melody in my mind because of your transparency. Excellent story telling properties.

Mother nature can keep us all humble. Your poem packs a punch about our helplessness in the face of devastation. Nicely done!

Evokes emotion. The flyers. Happy ending. That this was written early morning is not lost on me!! Wow!

I ve often thought that if half the marriages end in divorce why tie the knot again. I was insane at 18 and in love… the happy ending is that I m not 18 or insane or tied in a knot. Well done fellow poet!!

You had me at he moves on… and in the papertrail. Oh goodness, I see and hear what I can only display behind my eyes. Tears and pain. Maybe I m still living with deep regret. Like 40 years of letting THE one get away. DAMN!

I ll court her tonight…a solution that is also a hot mess in the making! I gave my own ending a second or two and chuckled. I ve done a lot of things for a good night’s sleep in my day. Some i totally regret. And I still long for that deep sleep state. Well done marathoner!

The list of what you like to do adds a spot check of what living life fully looks like * growing old has its own perks!! This poem works!!

What memories your poem brings!! Like an old tv ad for a collection at 3am, the playlist is totally running thru my mind and I m singing.

The malady of the cell phone pic. It was more than the yogurt container; that we as earth caregivers have failed. I read other poems from your marathon and I like the raw edge evident in your work. I hope you consider submission to the anthology!

I like your song choice. You give love a bad name. . . Screaming!! Jon.bon.Jovi. the power. The actor. The musician. That one line gives way to the drama of life!! Congrats!

Clouds are no longer lonely. I just stayed with this vulnerable piece drawing in energy. Storms where I live often leave the air clean and the ground wet without a devastating wake. I m inspired to write about internal storms this morning. Thank you!

The images of shells. forgotten. People. There’s a depth in how you wrote this poem.

Unchangeable. That word caught my eye and my heart remembers making wrong moves…

This could be a gamers intro… so much action!! The white unicorn waits reminds me of knight on a white horse. Inspiring

This made me smile…afraid of a moth you say… that’s totally adorable!! I like the title because it makes me wonder what was brought in for dinner??

Concrete holds secrets it never tells you… vivid and direct. I also like the title, too.

I recognize the description, seeing myself sitting right there, and yet your words sound hopeful and mature. I like this for the anthology.. .
