nice and brief. good background that makes the poem easy to read. in my opinion, best poem of today's illustrated lot.
I'm all too familiar with that phantom feeling. I hope you get to feel it (the real thing, not the memory) again soon.
I loved the illustration and
the wording is perfection.
Love the dreamlike quality
you put into this poem.
A sweet trip into dreamland.
Now if'n we could All
just catch hold on our Phantom
loves, then we would neva let go eh ~
*Smiles*
My Fav. today of the illustrated poetry ~!!
the phantom love... lover or is it in the smoke. A grip deeper than any lost lover I think. Is it someone you miss like a missing limb... or something else. In the smoke.
Well done, you made this non smoker understand the pain, the loss.
k.
Simple, but incredibly intense. Makes me sigh with longing. Soon, love. Soon the phantom will become flesh - for both of us. XXX
When you look at it, there's nothing exceptional about anything in particular in the poem or the way it's presented. However, taken together, it took my breath away. There's just something about the words that reached out to me. I felt it.
Holding you for only a few moments I still feel you there ~ a phantom Love.
