Dearest Mr. Hall, I could have written this poem over 70 years ago. However,in my case it would have been to my mother who left my father. I feel your pain. I did meet her 30 years ago. Keep writing.

A poignant and powerful piece of writing, Anthony!

BTW...my father and brother are named Anthony. I liked the
name enough to give it to the antagonist in my Roman novel.

And the Jello...it comes in all kinds of flavors...whatever
the taste buds dictate.
And thanks for the comment on my poem.

Very touching write Anthony. I lost my father to suicide and your poem expressed my emotions. I wished that my father was still here... I cannot understand why he left me? Why he gave up? Thank you for sharing this with us. Brilliant.

Oh Anthony

You are a indeed a poet......and yes writing does help, at least for myself I find it a distraction........all your emotions are so evident in this write, it was like reading a diary, or a letter that never got mailed...........
well done.....by the son!

bravo............Anita :)
