Aahh! stunning poem! .... in its simplicity it kicks you in the stomach, resonates in the heart....10/10

A very poignant poem David, it says a lot and is simple but stunning as Yuri says, Well penned, Lynda xx

Excuse me if I got this wrong, but is this in reference to a deceased child of your (one never born?) This is a painful poem, and you coveyed emotion quite well in it's unique and supple lines. I greatly enjoyed the glass metaphor.

This is a painfully beautiful piece. I love the last stanza, it resonates with me. Just as haunting as the sound that glass would make were I to run my fingers around the rim.

You always manage to convey depth with such a light touch, David. Wonderfully weighted phrasing. Really good poem. F

Masterly done. I really like the following: Dreams burdened with your eyes, a soul as empty as the spirits in a glass, and unfair remnants of celestial lies. You used common images but not in a trite way.

This is simply amazing. Stunning piece you have here. Awe-inspiring. Five thumbs up and two stars.

I sometimes wish I was a glass. It’s easier to break without a soul these lines are a masterpiece...

This is an amazing poem 'From a soul as empty as the spirits in a glass' then followed by 'I sometimes wish I was a glass...' Nice work. But shouldnt it be I wish I WERE a glass? Your images are honed in, not overdone and you have caught the feeling in just a few words, as every poet should do. Raynette

Strange how an empty glass of alochol can make things so much heavier. It was frustrated and deep blue. Keep writing, Delilah
