Will you comment on Talk the talk please?

This feels like something very new from you. I like it! The internal rhymes, the assonance and consonance, the dramatic breaks. I especially like the off-set single line mid-poem. And that last line... a freeing thing to be able to say, isn't it? :)

Gather 'round those of you who are new to writing verse.

For this is poetry!

Dallas takes a simple idea, like you can't change the past,

and injects it with feeling. She reveals how she regards what happened

without saying what "what happened " was.

Dallas plays with words and speech and even half a cliche,

which kept this reader interested.

I think the double use of "double" is clever.

It is one of only a few words a writer can get away doing that with.

Nice work, Dallas. You are always amazing.

I like it. You are starting to get a bit jaded though. I don't agree with the comment made about the use of the word double. The double shot expresses a higher level needed to release the situation you were in.

Keep up the good work!!

What I like about this is that if you add a beat, it can almost be a song or a rap (even though rap isn't my favorite thing in the world.)

Well done. When steps are cleared you have a choice, climb, or turn away and go back.

Good work once again Dallas. Straight & to the point. Like it. Have a good weekend hugs.

Sweetheart I agree you need not have used the very first line, but the poem pretty much describes where you are.

No problem with the poem except you lead with a cliche. That line I would refocus on if you care to edit.

No

point to use `double` in successive lines; -

sometimes life surprises and

ex-communications become communications

as hands are clad

in plaid

if this riddle is solved

no losers...now you`re talking :)

Walk on through to the other side...

I like it when you say what you want to say...feisty ..oh ya!

It's very straight forward and I like that. I like it when people tell it how it is.
