Leaving By Taxi Poem by Eddie Roa

quite unique in presentation.......very well expressed......

I must say the first 'stanza'...beginning lines...plea, touched my heart...read it over and over again...I loved the description of what he was wearing and his haste with fare already at hand...I am not sure what the taxi driver did or the rest mattered to me...I am going to read it all again just to be sure. 10 for this first time read.

an opus so meaningful painted with fine imagery...glad you ahve invited me over to read your page....Thanks...10/10

Awesome. I agree with my philosopher and friend Yoonoos. CP

So gentle peaceful and nice. Krista

The hack bucked and sputtered and the taxi crept, . Travelling experience you have beautifully explained in this poem.10

Great imagery in a melodramatic setting. Well done.10 here. Jim

A wonderful write. U get 10++......... Love & hugs.

I just wonder how creepy must the taxi be with those melancholic moving sounds of cadence in between the persona's pace... Deeper than the other lines I must say.

Shakespeare would've stirred in his sentimental grave. What! no tears? Hysteria being the norm of Philippine partings, your question mocks the mushiness of most mortals. Would that comings and goings were as routine as toothbrushing, we'd be better off, won't we? I take that back, people being so, it's anyone's privilege to be poised or puerile. Like your point of being - what else - to the point. Bravo!
