A Fading Memory Beneath Forgetful Sod Comments

I remember reading this poem months ago, and somehow I failed to leave a comment on it... my apologies since this write deserves more than that... I love how you've captured a man's love for a woman and what he had to endure seeing her be unhappy with someone else... and yet is willing to let her in no matter what it took, that he may be her last hope. Beautiful write sir, Lee

Jeez, guy - how much sorrow and compassion can a reader abide? The running panty hose, the smoky dress.... others have commented on other phrases, but this REALLY moved me - the whole poem did. How long, indeed can (disappointed) love endure? What are the consequences of indifference to the pain of others? Your compassion seems limitless. As does your unflinching gaze. Quite an experience - and quite a masterful use of metaphor and language. I'm in awe.

'drunk with sadness'.. you have captured my attention and heart with this line.. such a strong line, sets the trace for the whole poem. Excellent my friend. HBH

'set 'em up Joe, I've got a kind-a-story, you aught to know.' Strong write, Uriah

great poem...well done

great poem , direct hit.................................

This is excellent writing, Uriah. You moved us to tears on this and your description of the woman...well...This is real poetry, my friend! Raynette

Nicely done, Uriah. Usually I think the repetition of a single line to be cliche, but it works for you in this poem.

So sorrowful but a very kind thought....very nicely put.
