Formal request   #129   week ending 25th

you’re very kind, Miss. thank you for dropping by and leaving your thoughts

Mate…pretty good this. I think it is a touch subtle, so perhaps hasn't 'sold' well here, but if your idea is of a gradual breakdown over time while in the grip of mental decay then it works well from the title on down.

It will look good in the anthology :-)

hdph

(not saying subtle is better, or gooder….being popular to the masses is where the money be at :-)

Cheers dp,  
 
you’re hittin’ the nail on the head there, man
  
 
thank's most most for dropping by, and for the encouragement, good fellow.  
 
I shall be thinking of you when I watch the green army romp home again this weekend  

I'm sorry man, its the cruellest fucking thing. Hope you manage to get the satisfaction of wrenching the thing out and watching it burn.

Melody-man


cheers, man. good to see you knocking about, I didn't think Syrian rebels had wifi :)  


thanks for dropping by, man, and leaving your thoughts

The Saudis have been letting us use theirs for a while now, haven't you heard?

A heart felt prayer , Eamonn,  that I hope finds itself on the to do list of those who can make a difference . Be well .

Tony,   thanks for dropping by man, and leaving your thought print. appreciate it, m’man

there is a touch of....restraint (maybe) in this. i feel like the speaker is on the verge of bursting into a complete tirade. as he/she, no doubt, wants to unleash. but out of respect(?) for the subject, holds back.

nicely done.

cheers, lady

the words came from a gut feeling that was temporarliy overwhelming. you are right that it could easily have escalated to more of a tyrade, but as you say, it wouldn’t have been fitting

thank you much for your visit and words

Craic, please don't tell me you're referring to cancer.

So much of what you said, reminded me of my battle with the Grim Creeper, that crawled inside me, I just had to ask.

Thought provoking write.

sorry ’bout the feelings provoked , Snuggles , but fair play for battling and making it out alive, good fellow

 Alzheimer’s,  unfortunatly there is not much of a battle , not conventially anyway

thank you for dropping by and leaving your thoughts, it’s much appreciated

It is a haunting read craic...
The first two stanzas are what I feel in relation to my son's addiction... :(
enjoyed the read....

Ahh, sorry to hear that, Kate. Tough gig, nothing is set in stone though y'know ?

Thank you most much for visiting and sharing, Miss

An honesty turned almost..bitter for the silence. Love your quick left at the end sweets!

can completely relate! I've "gone Goddess" over the silence 'n nipped that fast. lmao

;)

ah, when a quick left is done right, it's a right left. ..which may sound contradictory to the naked ear, depending on which side it reaches first

'gone godess' sounds very noisy and somewhat destructive ..like a hurricane

thanks most lots for dropping by, lady. and for leaving your footprint

 

Sorry for the knowledge and experience that led to this being written.  You handled it as soft as you ever do, and it's the better for it - angrier voice wouldn't have suited the subject.  Nice work, CraicDealer.

not your fault, lady. thank you

this one was a hard write mostly because of the soft approach. there were some edits and some moments of hovering over the delete button. I am comfortable enough with it now I guess


thanks most lots for your eyes and words, miss

CraicDealer, luv ~ :-*

I've come and read this achingly haunting and tenderly desperate piece, oh, a thousand times or so at least.

It etches itself in the soul, luv. For me, there is something...something ineffable and unfathomable between the first section and the second, between that first back and that second back, that wrenches at me, catches hold and pulls relentlessly into the rest.

You're an extraordinary poet, luv, truly talented. (Methinks you'll be bedeviling me with that solicitor if I'm not careful here... ;-p) Nonetheless, you've a gift for digging deeply to the marrow. Mayhap further...

no no, no lawers this time, but I'll have to send a note to the technical team cos my countometer seems to be stuck on 168, I figure its at least 800 out.

thank you most lots for your visit and kind thoughts, lady

Hmmm...

I suppose it IS rather difficult to measure times when one has simply remained on the page, keeping it up, revisiting on one's browser... ;-p

this reads like a prayer. an angry one, obviously. but it is more than a request. it's pleading with a higher power.

i feel like the speaker is just steps away from either a complete angry rant, or dissolving into tears.

hullo, LarkspurBloom

and welcome to this place

and thanks heaps and bunches for dropping by and leaving your thoughts

Ok hun, this struck me as if I were celloesque.. .

Now there are many sharp deep rivets strumming
thruout.. . because well this place haunts me..

Ppssh, oooh such stone against stone striking..

Yep, I ramble.. still :)

-Howlings

Hullo to you, and welcome back

Its always a bitter sweet moment when a soul feels the sting.  I feel like apologising

you're very welcome here, Howlings, and thank you for your presence and thoughts
