When I Talk To You - Whatever

I actually went to your winning poem. Imagery of the birds in their cages, and the ending which insured us that there is a very special moment with a loved one. Here's mine:) https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/the_pink_lady_my_muse__1458808

Congratulations on your win, Andrea. Very true for some people. I am trying to figure out the context.

I watched an elderly man drift off so Andrea, and his care taker treated him like crap! I pray i pass before anything so devastating creeps up on me..Extraordinary write dear poet!...have a great weekend vooman...much love, me ;)

Congratulations on your win. A fun write. This can be said about a number of people in life. Have a wonderful day...................

Well, at least the wall doesn't sass you back. lol. :) gw

Andrea, your poem is a powerful expression of communication and its challenges. Your stark imagery and poignant metaphor create a profound impact, reflecting your exceptional talent in crafting meaningful and thought-provoking poetry. Well done! - Blessings, Daniel

We just got back from a visit with Sara's Aunt (92) and Bill her husband (94). Bill has Dementia. It was a very challenging visit. Good luck in the contest, Andrea.

Great lines.

Yep. I know the feeling. And if you don't talk, you are ignoring and uncaring. Geez!

Sounds like something my wife might say!

Oh dear, someone not paying attention. I see that often when you try and talk to someone and they're too busy glued to their phone. Tom

Great first line Andrea

Oh my, dear Andrea, this is such an evocative and heartfelt first line which I can deeply resonate.. Sometimes, we find ourselves in such a situation where we are always unheard no matter how many times we express our emotions.. Its just of no worth for those who act like a lifeless wall towards our feelings.. Sigh. An impactful first line indeed, best of luck to you for the contest :)

Aw, this opening line speaks a lot dear Ria. Best wishes for the contest. Will be sending you a Soupmail...Hugs... ~ Ani
