Bless you Tia , I am glad this poem made a favourable impression. I do have a remarkable memory at times for the most seemingly insignificant detail. But it meant a lot to me at the time.
Cheers

This is lovely- thank you for taking me back to my childhood! Although, to be fair, I never really lost my vivid imagination. It is something I have nurtured and loved throughout my life, and something I'm proud of still! In any case, this is spot on, and captures my childhood and memories excellently!
Thank you for the memories!

So much to ponder and pay heed to. We are but pawns of
the passing hours. Let us leave the board having played
our best game!
"Do not squander Time.
It is the stuff life itself is made of".

Thanks for finding and liking this John. I'm so glad you got my drift, which was to suggest rather than be too up front.

also gratitude for the extra likes Col and 220 August !

I especially liked the second stanza. Quite evocative, and the overall tone of the poem suggests rather than spells out.

I'm with Eric, i need to know what "it" is.
Of course, you left that for the reader to decide. Very clever, you could read it twice and "it" would be two different things, depending on your mood.

Comment is about Where did it go? (blog)

Original item by Tommy Carroll

Brilliant. And I am left wondering, "What was it that I misplaced?!"

You pulled me in with each statement, each breath. I was eagerly anticipating the end where I would find out "What" it was that I was missing. And yet, you leave us to question our own selves as if we have left something behind somewhere and you are helping us look for "it."

Brilliant.

Thanks, MC. I am keen to point out that this is not autobiographical.

Thank you for the appreciation Kealan. And you are right, a final proof does sound better. I hope I become a better poet to relate to many other people as well.

Hi Chris!
These haikus are great. It's amazing how powerful you make three short lines, how much energy, emotion, and meaning you can pack in.
Well done!

Comment is about Three Haiku (blog)

Original item by Chris Armstrong

Thanks for the comments. The gratitude for their sacrifice
can never be over-emphasised. Every time I witness the
tendency to moan and groan - ironically more prevalent
now when folk enjoy a life far beyond the reality of that
which these here remembered knew - I take a moment to
think of them and what they were never to have and to hold.

A very pertinent view on a rarely considered aspect of the
aftermath of conflict...the sad human disappointments
that can affect those left behind and those who also
suffer as a result.

A beautifully 'aimed' piece. I empathise with the sentiment. A good read. The only thing I'd change is 'love that needs one more proof' to 'love that needs a final proof' I think it might add a bit of urgency to the piece. Well written.

Hi Wendy. You know that i like the work that you do about protecting children. And i often leave a comment or click the like button on these pieces.
But I'm sorry to say, some of your other stuff doesn't sit comfortably with me. This one I'm afraid smacks of islamaphobia. I know that you have taken children in from all backgrounds, and i don't know the back story of some of these kids. Perhaps they come from all faiths (there's good and bad in everyone).
Sorry to be negative, especially knowing all the good work that you do, but i wouldn't be true to myself if i didn't say.

I've heard something first hand. A partner was told to relax as he sees (naked) patients all the time; HE sees and is not bothered, contemptible middle-class shit, it's not about HIS comfort but the womans. I had to intervene on one occasion.
But where was I? Oh yes, gallows humour Laura, you make light of what you endured but the piece contains a sting in the tail. Tommy xx
