Hi Persevere,
Oh, I am so sorry to hear of your amputation. I cannot even begin to imagine how traumatic that must be, but I'm certainly happy for you that you now have a prosthetic leg. This is very well written an your notes really do help to explain your verse. Thanks so much for sharing and be well, my friend. Jan

Thank you, Jan, for your review and sympathy. Let me assure you that I am better off with our that leg. It became seriously infected and amputation gave me a new lease of life. The phantom sensations are bearable.

Very nice poetry, on a very scary subject, and you made it rhyme so well! I am glad that the stalker is a phantom, but it does happen. Once again good job!

Thank you so much for your complimentary review.

I was feeling a bit edgy about you being stalked and the vehemence of wanting him permanently gone, but all became clear in your last stanza. What a terrific poem to take me through those emotions. I do hope your leg starts to behave itself and you can get on with pain-free mobility.

Thank you for your empathetic review. I am making good progress and now walk with two walking sticks whereas I did use crutches.

Good on you! Your rehabilitation is going well.

One can understand why the Speaker would want her former spouse dead if indeed he's a stalker. But your poem takes on so much more meaning after one reads your notes. I have heard many amputees suffer "shadow" pains long after the limb is removed. Rod

Thank you Rod for reading my poem and my notes. I realise that misunderstanding may occur if the notes are not read so I have added one more verse.

Your added stanza eliminates any confusion. Rod

Thanks Rod

Why is it that when we have split our ways our ex would continue to stalk us? May your day be blessed and also free from you stalker. Patricia

Thank you for wishing me freedom from my stalker, Patricia. I am not sure whether you read my notes but to avoid any misunderstanding from anyone I have added an extra verse. My leg ( my ex) had gone rotten and it was a relief to be rid of (parted from) it.
Comment from Regal Bellford
The art is beautiful. There is so much going on in those colors and forms they make within the bodies.
The poem is great. It brings chills. I am a guy and I felt the fear and unnerving sensation that must give. The fact that he seems like a ghost. Appearing and disappearing, without any form of even contacting him if needed. It makes me feel even less able to defend myself.
At first the last line seems a bit much. But once you think about it and feel those emotions, you kinda want that feeling to die with him. Not to cause his death, but to somehow have time take it away by any means outside a human's own hands.
great job

Thank you for your detailed and heart felt review . For the stand alone poem I have added another verse to clarify who the stalker is. Please also see my notes.
