Costs

This is rather awkward for me. I've never posted on this board or asked for contructive critism on a poem. Well, here goes nothing.

He stands at your side
Your hand entwined with his
I think of the days when he was in my reach
I look to you
Beaming in his presence
To interfere would have cost too much

I stand at your side
Playfully punching him
He laughs
I laugh
You laugh along
We are content
This costs nothing

The point of view of this poem is a bit confusing, or maybe it is just my interpretation. For example, you say " I stand at your side, playfully punching him". Are there more than two people in this poem or is that just a typo? It happens a lot in the poem, so either I misinterpreted, or you made a mistake. Otherwise, can't really find anything to critique. Good job!

I loved it too. It seems to end a bit abruptly IMHO, but it is definitely effective like that. Nice concept here. I look forward to seeing some more of your work around, SilverWright.

Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.
