There is a very gentle and unhurried pace here which suggests to me no animosity but perhaps a hint of sadness mixed with fond memories and having moved on
Nice one Tommy

I can't remember who said it but it talked about how we should not fearfully hold on to what was needs to end.
And that the familiar life disintergrates so that a new life can believe.

Wondering pondering over eh.

Tommy, writing this poem is part of the healing process. And life's journey actually. It brings relief in a way.

Best of all, I like that undercurrent of expectancy.
Is there one bridge that hasn't been burnt?

Thank you for sharig this with us.

Hi Keith, no I'm not flaming, it was then and not now now. ?

Hi Jason, I think 'moving on' and scorch-marks says it .

Hi Ruth, I think the 'positive spin' echos Kieth's point, not wrong just behind my shoulder as I turn away.

Thank you all xxx

Positive spin on a usually painful subject, I like how you managed to create that effect Tommy

Perhaps the old flame doesn't burn anymore, I read it as more of an acceptance of moving on, but it does seem that like so many of the rest of us, you happily wear the scorch marks. Really liked this.

Does the old flame still burn? The poem implies a sense of hope, not entirely abandoned.
A good poem
Thanks
