Remember you chased me in high school?
How we laughed and danced in the rain?
Hand in hand, on the hilltop
we stood as one, the same.
Now, sadly it seems,
lately, for me,
you have run
out of
breath.

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it โ and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

Fabulous!
This feels metaphorical for that moment when you realize that a relationship has just run its course and there's nothing to be done... Great work here Cathy!!
This is a really great poem. Congrats on top story.
Terribly sad and authentically raw! Another excellent nonet!
Hannah hit the nail on the head. Finesse is exactly what shines in this creation. SO well done, my friend!
This is brilliant Cathy. Such finesse.
Unfortunately, all good things come to an end. Loved your Nonet!
That is a heartbreaking end to a beautiful poem๐ซ
I think this challenge was made for you. This was another belter.
Rhyming too! ๐๐๐
Oh, my heart. This is beautifully written and masterfully woven. That last line. ๐
Wow!! Spectacular heartbreak!!!
Oh no! What a great memory but sounds like same person and now dissipated โฆ sad Great as usual, Cathy!
The nostalgia and then the reality, so sad. Great entry, Nitty!!
Wow, that says it all...!
So beautifully heartfelt, this one! Bravo on a lovely, mournful piece.
Beautifully written.
