Those who are difficult to forget fall into two categories: old lovers or agents of the IRS.

I am so glad to see you are back and feeling better Kelly. It is great to read you again. This poem, like all of your other poems, is so very profound and beautifully written. Viewing unrequited love as a dead end street is brilliant and strikes right to the heart of it.

Some of us are meant to suffer those streets during life, avoiding them stings, the streets seem endless. Yes? However long or brief your poems are, your emotions float to the surface and readers nod, understanding if not knowing what or how you personally feel. Emotionally and very finely worded, Kelly.

Always ready to exchange a smile or few, Kelly. :)
Wow, short and powerful even if it does echo a sort of emotional surrender. Sometimes it's easier to go with the flow than to swim against the current. I like it. F.

She starts fourth grade this Fall. I talk to my oldest maybe twice a month. She's got her hands full with my four grandchildren plus she's a military wife so not a lot of spare time but she still keeps in touch. When they get forty years old and still love and respect you...that's a good feeling. I just hope I'm around long enough to give this one some strong wings to fly to her dreams with.
Hi thank you for the review of Where the rain comes in. Thank you for your insightful words and comments appreciate them very much, The song lyric on your bio is either Joni Michell or The Indigo Girls both are class acts by the way . So to the review of Dead End Street This to me conjours an image of person who holds out hope in spite of everything dispite her heart and her head telling her that she should have learned she can’t give up trying to win him back it like an itch you have to scratch fine for a while but then you can’t take it anymore and you have to scratch you have to try in the hope that this time unlike all the other times the Dead End Street will be no more and Street Open may be a way through I noted as well there was no mention of Him in regards to other efforts that this pursuit is done singurly that opens a whole remit of ideas why can’t she have him back like all good writers we are not told and left to draw on our own conclusions A great first read if your work for me keep writing and inspiring Carl
Ahh yes, I am also familiar with that street. I don't always wander down it, but somehow I'll still end up there eventually. Maybe forgetting just isn't in the cards for some of us.
