So true! Sometimes at the fork in the road we get stabbed no matter which path we choose. I am trying to learn to keep my eyes open so I can remember my way back
and not get lost on the path I chose.

Jon,
Your words in this brief poem are concise and well constructed. Why should hell have to tolerate such vile people. Well done and thank you.

Thank you for your comment on a poem of mine- things falling away are far too easy to write about. Long may your poignant poems continue- much more wonder to read and with such rhythm. Thanks,

Not so much "likeable" as relatable in its depth.
This isn't the first of your pieces I've dived into. Keep writing..I've no doubt that your talent will only grow with age.

Thank you Martin! I wish it was me but it's my Argentinian friend Hernan Ruiz, a great guitarist! I am currently taking lessons...
I know what you and Colin mean and that is why this little poem is the first in my poetry book in English, Xoetry 2017 but also in the one I have just published a few week ago in Galician, Imos Indo...

You are a hard man, and that quality is a splendid one. Clarity is always highly valued, but especially if tempered with a little empathy. I have smiled with delight as I read this.

Much enjoyed. A fine flair for ideas and then the best words to make keen imagery. Love it all, and the final verse especially.
Is it possible to check for small spelling errors, since it's a 'page piece', probably just slipping by as you type. If that's a problem, don't worry about it, because the quality of thought and language is just superb.
Keep sharing. The spelling can always go hang.

I think there is a place in most towns that host rivers running through them that have a place like you describe. I know that is certainly true of the river running through our town

a genuinely lovely poem Jon and your appreciation for this person obviously shines through. I feel like writing similar poems when I get excellent service from anyone showing politeness, friendliness and a good work ethic. I have come across so many slackers in my time that my heart positively jumps out my chest when I see someone who can actually do their job well and efficiently. Good honest writing - I'm enjoying reading your poetry this morning. Cheers, Colin.

I guess we're all reading this (and all poems) through our own lenses. Im getting 'hope'. When Im lost in the gutter I'm always grateful for a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel and a reminder of alternative states of mind - last 5 lines.

Aha! this is a brilliant analogy of the way that squirrels appear chasing each other up down around in trees. I have three regular attenders on our old split willow. I think they could give the LH collider a run for its money!
The breath of a god carries her thoughts....is a very good line too.

Kevin, please rest assured that your contribution on WoL is as valid as anyone else's and it would be a great shame if you felt uncomfortable in continuing to do so. I noticed a while ago that you had partly deleted your profile. I would have sent you this message privately but now it's not possible. Please stay and be a part of the WoL community. I for one have always valued your input and would be sad to lose both your poetry and interaction. I'm sorry you feel that way. WoL should be a comfortable and safe place for everyone. I hope you have a peaceful Sunday. All the very best, Colin.
