Loved it, Greg! You have captured a boy's mind very well. I feel sad for your friend, though. Nothing breaks you more than disappointments, especially the feeling that you have not performed to your potential...It was okay earlier, I guess, where once you lost touch, you kind of remained invisible and unhappy with your lot. In this Internet age, you are exposed; cruelly witness those who have out-performed you in every aspect. You are now exposed and unhappy with your lot. Damn Facebook :)

Makes me want to take a look at my parents old photos and see the world through their eyes when their dreams were different.

Nostalgia at its best, Greg. Some pensiveness perhaps? A slight longing, maybe?

i like this piece i was about to pick out a favourite part but upon rereading i would either pick out a different segment each time or had a third of the poem plus a few additional lines, or all of it. the part that spoke to me first was the centre section and then the last line of the poem a nice piece (without wishing to sound trite"

Comment is about A Woman's Charm (blog)

Although I love this poem .L.m.P.
I would have written/typed it into being a little clearer in its meaning by having the seventh line read..'its poison of pain'.

There again each readers own interpretation
should suffice as it should with every poem.x

So touching. So poignant and beautifully expressed.

Made me cry for those who who died and for those left behind. with just memories and a few possessions.

i like the cadence to this but struggle with "aliens land" rather than alien land maybe its just me but i feel aliens land describes what you are trying to portray better but my brain prefers alien land. probably just my addled brain eroding in the evening air of another day

On Robin Williams - links in life even now.
Strange but an online check for Terry Wogan led
to a Parkinson clip - which in turn led to a 2002 interview by MP of both Robin Williams and
Stephen Fry. What value for money! Two amazing talents in action in one programme - now in a clip on Youtube. And so sad with the
knowledge of what has happened since. Perhaps it is just as well we have no ability to foresee the future.

Thank you M.C. - a great suggestion for the change, I've made that (not sure why that didn't come to me at the time). He was an incredible talent, I grew up to his films and always had great admiration for him - a tremendous loss.

Comment is about Retreat (blog)

Original item by Twilbury Wist

These lines would have surely met with the approval of the character RW played so well in "Dead Poets' Society".
Obviously written with huge affection/admiration for a wonderful talent.
I love the opening verse but would have settled for
"abides" in line 1 - avoiding "...sides" clashing in the same verse.
How awful that both Christopher Reeve and Robin Williams
- close friends in life - should have such tragic ends.
They deserved so much more.
