"Tears cried early
take the longest to dry. ". I like that. At least, it seems so. Maybe because your cheeks stay wet as more come. Another passage that it would not let me copy was about the neon and machupichu. Other nice imagery. Smooth flow. Nice ending. Thank you for sharing

This is so original and very cleverly worded. A very impactful and strong last line. I had to read it over several times I was so impacted by the description. A great work.

This speaks a viewpoint that dreams can deliver or bury us; a dream feeling one may carry it as real or not; well written, well done. B A CHANGE INSPIRER-WRITER -- DR ALCREATOR

Hello Sergeant Floyd. The reason for my four on here is my lack of understanding of your meaning about this poem.
You could include a small author's notes at the end to explain to us why
dreams can bury us. Why was the cab driver a little rascal?
Just a few questions as to your line of thinking. What relevance has the machu pichu to a cab driver?? The correlation is vague. There is no connection here.

    Introduced to movies as a child actor I assume he aspired to stardom or at least magically thought about it. Over the years the magic waned and his life was not the stuff of stardust.

Thanks for a very poignant poem, containing excellent imagery! Although I am not Roman Catholic, I think the most powerful lines of the whole poem was, "Did his rosary break in the dark
scrambling the pearly beads of Glory Be
across decades of yellow linoleum?"
That single image brought the whole thing to a shattering completion, with the kind of unmistakable warning it carried.
An excellent job, and would have rated a six, if I had one left!

I found this very uncommon subject and work to be really well presented from the outset with excellent artwork. From that fine opening, the delivery of the poetic work came forth with equally excellent delivery to which I have no suggestion for improvement in any way. My thanks to this author for a fine read!

    Thank you. Sometimes my inspiration is the common place and sometimes the out of place but I find both extraordinary.

Yes, you do have to be careful what you wish for, and the person in your poem seems to have made some bad choices he has to live with. I noticed no errors and thanks for sharing your poetry, Ana.

How sad to have fame so early and so much of it, only to die broke and alone in a hotel room, later in life. So sad the things that life has to offer, but then again when it is time, and only God knows when we will go to be with God and then our lives, if we believe, can be Fantastically Wonderful with God in Heaven.
