About This Place

Congrats. Seems most entrants went with the pond. I like your take on this prompt.

With those last two lines, you create a mood! Congrats!

So poignant this is. Congrats on the win. I think you may be only winner using this title!

Empty rooms are sodden with memories. They create in us a deep sense of longing, a life we can never relive. once those empty rooms must have been part of our dear youthful life. The sense of aloofness is haunting. Beautifully presented dear Cay Cay.

I can relate to a strange feeling looking at empty rooms of a place you once lives, and not seeing much, kind of expecting to see some meaning, or something to make sense of my experiencet - maybe that's just my feeling your poem evoked in me. There's a movie named Allegro Non Troppo with a vignette that reminds me of (70s movie - lol)

Dearest CayCay, This Choka captures a deep sense of longing and emptiness. The imagery of "empty rooms" and "walls just feel the roof" evokes a powerful feeling of isolation. Your words convey a poignant sense of loss and yearning. Beautifully written! Best, Anne

An amazing, Choka. Full of emotion, could really feel it.

I enjoyed reading your wonderful "About This Place" write. Great last line. "Good Luck" We both did this contest. Have a wonderful day writing away..............
