Thank you, Damon. We've all tasted our own. That line, for me, defines the act of adding insult to injury.

I don't even know where to begin to sort through all of this except to say that you are there and I am here and between us nothing is tangled or ugly or negative or deceiving..
keep writing I am someone who appreciates all you do...and I am the one who celebrates you..

Hi Jara,
I don't know whether you are a singer/song writer but this would work well as a song lyric.
Nice one!

As I am now a father of 2 I can only imagine the grief you must be feeling. I am hoping through your writing you can express your feelings and deal with what must be still quite raw emotion. My thoughts are with you.

Duly noted Col! I hadn't really considered the eau de poem, but you make an excellent point. Modern life seems to be bereft of the wonderful variety of smells I was brought up with eg; gasholders, old hardware shops, tobacconists, railway carriages. The list goes on. Vive la variety I say ( oh and I forgot garage work areas).
FIN AUSSI.

This would be a great start to a short story. Do you write prose?
Love the last line.
Comment is about A Summerhouse (blog)
Original item by keith jeffries
Is the last line really the last line? This poem has a flow that seems to end too abruptly. Or perhaps it doesn't need the last 5 words?

extra verse noted and appreciated Ray. 'Fin' sounds very final so I shan't expect any more!
btw this was a very smelly poem what with all that Gauloises and Pernod and now you've gone and added cheap Eau de Parfum. I can feel my chest tightening up!
FIN.

Ray,
Thank you indeed for this kind comment. I have a great sense of nostalgia and an abiding love for the earlier part of my life. I am also blessed with an excellent memory which is a tremendous resource for recalling the past.

What I like about your work Keith is your fondness for the subject matter in pretty much every case. This brings authenticity and a sense of normality refreshing in many ways. This typifies that and a sense of nostalgia seeps out of every pore.

The point about attraction and repulsion side by side is a strong realistic one, Tommy. The poem feels like a redemption, and there in the realism is a real person, well described. Nice one indeed.
