I like this minimalist free verse - definitely has that sense of angst and longing that I think we all feel trudging through the days (especially this past year). Great work, on the poem and on the drawing ;) Later daze.

Did you draw the drawing? It's very unique. I'm not sure what this is about but it's interesting. I like the presentation. I appreciate the author notes.
Good rhyme and alliteration.

Yes, I did the "drawing." I think, actually harder than, a drawing.
As, I painted the outline with a brush and black acrylic paint.
I liked it enough to just stop, as Fred Flinstone, looked fairly authentic to me.
Smile,
Doug

Sometimes life throws us a challenge, sometimes life changes us, sometimes we feel life ignores us, in dark times we must grow, always accept where life leads us, the sun shines for all, very well written****kahpot

Comment from royowen
Like a reprise in a musical phrase is worth repeating, (like a chorus) so too memorable lines in poetry, and in life, some repeat them methinks too much, as usual your poetry is fascinating, yabba dabba doo, well done Doug, blessings Roy

Doug,
This sounds like a person coming out or a bad relationship or bad childhood and finding a new life that is so much better.
I like the sketch.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Comment from estory
The halting rhythm of these one word lines seemed to capture this sense of halting footsteps into the wide, unknown world. I think it was great form underlying function here, using the form to underscore the theme. There's also that great effect of the fractured sentences, the struggle to articulate feelings that comes through here. estory

Comment from Senyai
Hi Victor,
" Please,
how in the hell?
Hell-o morning
Hell-o day
Here I come"
I love this! What better day to start my day? Lol. Your free style poem is reminiscent of stream of consciousness works of Jack Kerouac ...
Self talking on a virtual analyst couch is helpful more than we would all like to admit. Very original and effective here.
Have a great week,
Senyai

Comment from Susan Larson
This comes across to me as stream of consciousness writing, yet at the same time as a carefully and well thought out free verse poem. Don't know what else to say except I hope this gets you over the line for recognized status.
