Life, the Movie

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gn9IAYo0wZE link to my YouTube channel where I read my poetry.

We talk about the
past like it's a
movie we
watched together.
You liked the
cinematography.
I didn't care for the
cruelty of the
protagonist.

We disagree on the
theme, and every
scene holds different
aspects of
symbolism for us.
I'm not sure I want
there to be a sequel,
despite the good
acting.

Here is a link to my YouTube channel, where I read poetry from my latest book, Sleep Always Calls. It's available on Amazon. My two other books are also available. Seedy Town Blues and It's Just a Hop, Skip, and a Jump to the Madhouse.

Great Work again Thomas, how you take the metaphor and extend it throughout the Poem. Like you, as far as most of my relationships are concerned, I have had quite enough for one lifetime. Really Excellent ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Thank you, my friend.

I love how this is relatable, yet so so profound...

[Thomas W Case]

Thank you, Amanda.

Movies and relationship need a genre of their own, don't you think, sir Thomas? You're offering a slant often hidden behind thick curtains but here, above ^ there's a casual grin that says. 'Whatevah!'

Your way of thinking always reaches the tape first!

[Thomas W Case]

You got it. lol Thank you, my wonderful friend.

Mm. Yes. So much room in this that it can be read on any level, from personal, inter-personal, even existential-spiritualistically... Couched in a very accessible metaphor, and paced so well.
This piece is finely crafted, Thomas. (Par for the course!).
Always great quality visiting your posts. 🫶

Thank you, Lara. I appreciate this comment.

Only in the movies is everything perfect. Life, and the different views of it, seldom is.

[Thomas W Case]

So very true. Thank you.

My friend, I always appreciate how you get to the heart of the matter in your clearcut manner. I’m like you not interested in the sequel.

[Thomas W Case]

I appreciate your comments.

Wow! A journey of life's meaning as a movie of the past, that can be replayed with protagonists and antagonists.
I feel like Hollywood might come knocking.

[Thomas W Case]

Lol. Thank you, my friend.

[Sami Khalil]

Hehehe
