Boy this was a bittersweet one.

You have to thank this man, it would be a pity keep inside, you are a very good writer

being inspired by someone is nice. a large help when writing

Yes, there is always one who exerts a lasting influence on our lives. Read mine – Love’s Dirge - Adeline

A very touching poem of love. Love that was once bright had dimmed. poetry gives you the freedom of expression. It does not place boundaries on you. Nice write, .

I love this witty poem—the down-to-earth rhythms and tone, and the frank acceptance that the speaker did learn from the situation. Most importantly, the speaker did receive a wonderful gift: POETRY (and that has made all the difference!) A pleasure to read. Thanks for sharing.

I just had a man come back in my life after 24 yrs. I love this write. Saving it. AIAB

I read this poem, and there he was - - the one who got away. To this day I love and remember him as tho' he was here yesterday (it's been over 30 years.)

C.J. The emotional imagery is superb! As I read the poem the words stirred similar rememberences... thank you, Mike

agree with the ladies, C J. Magnifique!

CJ: This is absolutely lovely! Thanks for sharing.

Wow! Loved this one too. It actually made me say 'wow' out loud when I'd finished reading it. Is it true? Was one man, the man it is about, the reason you started to write poetry?
