Thank you for all your support. Good to hear your voice

Thank you so much for your comment, it made me feel all warm inside. :)

Thanks for this weeks prompt - here is my effort

I found your imagery of the light and the bride in her eleemnt to add a sense of elegancce and celebration to the poem, symbolising as it does readiness and confidence.

Quirky, energetic and imaginitive are the things that come to mind read this. The Holy Dock lol

Thank you for sharing this heartfelt reflection. As a poet, I see the raw emotion and the genuine longing woven throughout your words. Your piece explores themes of self-awareness, trust, perseverance,

I loved this. Your poem positively pulsed with evocative memories, I especially liked the 2smell of sage by the freewway". A lievly recounting.

Great piece. I enjoyed all the entreaties - "don’t do this," "just stop," and "let’s end this" - as the tone mirrors the internal struggle. Beautiful.

A profound mditation on life's greatest mystery. I loved the circular imagery and gentle lyricism.

I'm glad you found it thought provoking, cheers for your comment.

Thanks for the encouraging comment.

Thanks. Yes I had quite a few cute ones. Like you say to feel less like your individuality had been removed. My friend even had a designer mask.

Hiya this is my response to your prompt. The very idea of mask wearing just took me back to the Covid era.

You have successfully conveyed intense feelings of remorse and inner turmoil, I especiaally liked the broken bottle imagery.

A sincere and wrm poem. Thankyou for sharing

LOL. Colour of a goldfish too!

That's interesting., both about the cicadas coming later and you be being more int touch with the seasons since yous started writing them. Thanks for sharing.

I like the way you have created tension between nature's serenity and your own discomfort. The 'early morning dew drop glove' subtly rhyming with dove is delightful

short but sweet.

My friend would relate to this he has such bad luck dating. Just like your poem, starting off all naive and hopeful only to end up feeling disillusioned and betrayed. Your mini titles were interesting.
