It's so touching, and beautiful and so true to the core as far as I have known you in this brief time.
It's straight from the heart about your heart and I liked it dear.. the poem as well as your heart.
Especially the last stanza, I absolutely adored.. how true and mesmerizing!!
Heart always conceals at first but with love and care, it opens up to a few loved ones and reveals secrets that lay hidden within the deep recesses of the heart..just as your poem signifies.
Well, I must say you have a very novel and unique and creative concept. I loved it..very unpredictable but very real.
At the same time, I must say that my idea of a short story is not this. This almost seems like a rough draft for a story and not the real thing. If it is a rough draft and you are thinking of expanding it, I would suggest go for it and let me know when you are done. I would love to read the final version.
The story as of now, lacks full sentences, many details. I had to read few liens thrice to understand what happened. And that seriously takes away of all the fun out of a good story.
What a fulfilling poem..oen of submission to Lord and gaining of peace..ah!!
What beautiful feelings go through me as I savor the poem. It almost feels like I have attained peace for myself. Thank you for the amazing feelings.
Your poem is very real and true to the core. I guess you have experienced it for yourself.
Though, I think the poem would be more easier to read if the start of a sentence and needed words are capitalized instead of all. That helps one understand where one sentence ends and other starts, go with the flow and be more immersed in the poem and its meaning.
It is painful..yet so heart felt, seemingly straight from the heart...so touching..it brought tears to my eyes.
Though, one thing I am left wondering.. what exactly do you mean by "with the toss of a toothbrush". You use it quite a few times but I am really unable to understand its meaning. Can you please clarify?
I can feel the gap that is left behind by the one who left..a never-filling, empty hole..
However, I think that the poem would look and feel better if parted into a few stanzas instead of a long one..What do you think?
It makes me ponder and think..ohh..the nature of men..jealousy rules.
I liked the way it started and even smiled amusedly on reading the word 'sir'
But the last two lines of the first stanza, I read thrice, but could not grasp the meaning.... "of no consequence,
Of no criticism." Are you trying to say that at the blackbird's place there is no criticism? What then does consequence signify here? Can you please clarify?
Depper into the poem, I sat back and was amazed at the second stanza, almost signifying your deep-rooted harsh feelings about the oposite sex perhaps from past experience.
The last stanza was horrifying, totally unpredictable and I nearly cried out.
Ha! Ha! This is really funny. It is nostalgic, taking me to time gone by.. memories revived and cherished and the nature of things today comtemplated and lamented upon.
I loved the vivid imagery your words bring to mind. It is real yet funny at the same time.
The "meanwhile" bit is awesome. It is almost like a movie when the camera shifts from one angle to another.
At first, though, I was taken aback by the different break of lines and the absence of punctuation marks, I gradually felt that it served its purpose.
This is a very sound advice from someone who has been through it all, suffered and come to the sane world yet again...I hope addicts read this and take the lesson, the way you have, with determination and your inner power to lead the way.
Your words are true to the core and end up setting a chilling view to the mind.
I love the way you have written this..everything from the words to the concept to the rhyme and the flow and the word 'choice' in italics. It is beautiful.
It is soul-moving, touching and painful all at the same time. You have expressed your thoughts and feelings amazingly mesmerizingly.
One suggestion: I think, in third stanza, last line, a comma should be there after "your soul". However, that is my personal opinion. Please go by your instinct.
*sigh* your poem makes me nostalgic and teary-eyed as I remember my own grandparents...ohh..
I miss them so..your poem so truly reflects what goes on in one's life and how people are missed later on..
The only thing I personally could not get comfortable with were the capitalization of every first word of a sentence and less use of punctuation marks.
In all, I like your genuine and expressed emotions..flowing out of your heart.
Cheers!

I loved your poem. It reminded me of my beloved and our feelings for each other.
The way you express love is so beautiful, genuine and real, that I know you have felt it for yourself.
And yes, I have to say you have a great attention span to write long sentences. At the same time, let me admit I have a very short attention span and in order to understand, I have to read your lines twice at least.
In all, I love the way you have written this poem.
Way to go!
Cheers!

It is one hell of a good story..what innovativeness.. I wonder if a person like this exists though..wait don't tell me he does.. why the 'non-fiction' on the story..God!! oh ok..I'm sorry..but.. would you really mind posting the photo
Wow!! Where shall I start from. This was very interesting, engrossing and nice. However, I must say my idea and expectation of a fairy tale was ruined by the hard- hitting truth in the end. But then that is what real life is all about! Ah!!
You have really done a nice work with the prompt. I liked the content. It is real and I can feel it with your descriptions and flow.
I loved your way of expressing, especially this..it made me laugh
"I was more than happy to see them leave since Cynthia was fragrant in her own way and was overdue for a diaper change."
A few suggestions:
"This was despite the fact she had repeatedly told me if she had it to do over again,"
I guess you mean "if she had to do it over again"?
There suddenly was a commotion at the back door, and I hurried to return to the kitchen. Coming inside, covered in the snow that was falling more heavily by now, were my step sister, Beth. With her were her husband, Joseph, and their three children.
I would suggest the following:
There WAS suddenly a commotion at the back door, and I hurried to return to the kitchen. Coming..., WAS my step sister, Beth.
"Roger was carrying the youngest, a screaming baby boy, since Janet was pregnant with their eighth and last child."
I did not really understand the bit about the "last" child as it broke the flow, taking me from past to the present, which is when you know that it was their last child. I would suggest removing that bit of extra information.
I knew the minute we were about to start our afternoon feast when I heard, “Judith, come help bring out the vegetables.”
I somehow can't understand this line. Where does the "when" fit in?
In all, I liked the story..non fiction one..I love the picture..though I am saddned with the REAL conclusion :(
