Victor, I enjoyed the poem. You did a good job of creating a very frustrating character, and a sad picture of a relationship.

It’s to be hoped the lovely baby girl can change their world for the better Victor. A dialogue so sad. An interesting though provoking read. Hugs, Belle

Victor, you have done an excellent job! You have a lot of untapped potentials. The writing was excellent, as was the conversation, and the visual was very vivid. Despite this, indecision may alter with time, and what was once yet another can become a double with the flow of time. Best regards

Indecision could change with time, and what was one sided could become two sided. Intriguing dialogue, Victor. Blessings.

Often the mind doesn’t know what it wants, but is that fair. Perhaps, with time, there is reason and a rhyme. Perhaps that season produces that very lovely girl who will change the world.
