thank you. I enjoy writing: thank you. I enjoy writing about my various experiences in life. For better or worse, we all roll thru life and hopefully gain a little wisdom. This was in the late 80s so there was not likely a vegan option then. Nowadays most trucks will have something for vegan or gluten free options, options for lactose intolerant etc.
Thank you dear Patricia.: Thank you dear Patricia. Young love is hardly perfect and we all have had our start somewhere or other. I am grateful that you have astutely spotlighted such nuances and have read what a hurried perusal would have been so easily missed or ignored. And for all that and so much more I am most grateful.
Thank you for responding to my..: Thank you for responding to my comment. While I agree with what you say about women in general, I've met a couple in my life that were pretty monstrous.
Its reflective and not: Its reflective and not bothered by it in any way its about pain and not understanding what CPRS feels like when it becomes unmanageable and you feel like no one cares enough to place importance on your requests that are so simple but necessary. Hugss
No such thing. Women, are: No such thing. Women, are designed to bare the hardest things with the softest weapons and what a joy it must be to discover the power of them!

I am so honoured you have: I am so honoured you have spent some time in Ssmoothieland! And so excited and overjoyed at your comment! I swear sometimes I write just to impress you. I will never forget the influence you have has on me as a writer, an observer of truth, perception or thought. What a glorious day! I haven't much time and sporadically do something here and there i don't refine often, I just pour it out on the page and share it with the universe, better out than in... a coping mechanism i can only write on my phone can't type much anymore due to an injury... rehab is a blinder of a thing! Never ready for it. But at least I have some avenue and maybe some audience who will make of it what they will. I just wish I had more refind stuff... maybe I should add a code to differentiate from my rambling thought bubbles and save more than a few from certain shock or boredom! ha ha ha So happy you dripped by the world is feeling much righter and brighter today! Thank you, my PostPoem legend!
Thankyou its hard to be fair: Thankyou its hard to be fair and real in a world of propaganda that glorifies tearing down the old and filling it with the new. A compromise must be reached. And the only way is being brave enough to say what is not ok and be ready for the truth of any side where compromise or acceptance resides. Cancel culture is an abomination to me. the most dividing, unloving and dictatorial thing and Stalin started it and Hitler refined it. The world is far more complicated than anyone wants to think so the more absurd the distraction the easier it is to manoeuvre in the darkness... who operates in the darkness with no light? Nothing good in my eyes. Hidden agendas have a lot to answer for we are all sleeping at the wheel of the next generations inheritance... blessingss ss
The powerful empathy and: The powerful empathy and wisdom in your words radiate right off the page, like an fissionable substance, and into the readers' minds. Well written, well thought out, and well presented.
Your kind support and rare: Your kind support and rare talent have made all the difference, not only to me, but to many others. I sincerely applaud you.
You had some excellent: You had some excellent inspiration and your offspring has all the resplendent craftsmanship of a classic love poem and all the allure of a drama.
Your innovative twist is your high-impact focus on invaded privacy, the "voyeur's curse", that intruded upon one of the most important firsts in a person's life, or, in your shrewd words, a "perfect abyss", an "inexperienced intensity". With impressive skill you conveyed the envy of the killjoys.
We're left wondering how beautiful the story would have ended if the young lovers had been left alone. And yes, as Starward noted, there is a strong undercurrent of Shakespearean tragedy.
A powerful angle on a timeless theme. Excellent, as always.
