1. Ooooo. I like the stinging realization of those last lines, especially.

   1. Thanks I actually built the poem around the last two lines.

2. A psychopath Santa… that’s a great image

   1. Thanks. I liked the alliteration!

3. Woah, big bad wolf and psychopath Santa! Those are killer lines:
   ‘crowbar open your windows
   with words both iron and soft’.
   Glad the vampire rule still stands!

   1. Ha ha ha! Never thought of that.

4. psychopath santa is my favourite line

   1. Thanks. 🎅

5. “…words both iron and soft…”. Great line. And the retort at the end shows your adversary/love is no pushover. Nice.

   1. Thank you!

6. Relationships must weather storms…crowbar usually ineffective (that santa is giving me the creeps). Intense write!

   1. Thanks for stopping by and saying so. Santa is kind of a creepy concept anyway.

      1. 😉

7. Nice perspective on the storm as someone trying to blow through one’s house and then realizing the house does not belong to it.

   1. 😁

8. As always, your words go straight to the center of the onion. I’ve read several times and keep getting drawn back in. Yes, that closing phrase really kicks and the imagery of the poem is so strong! Poem onward, my feathered friend!

   1. Thank you so much. I’m glad it drew you in.

9. I love poems that elicit more questions than answers (and by that I don’t mean poems that just befuddle). This poem brings up the query… who, or what, is the voice? Devilishly well done!

   1. Thank you very much! I’m glad I could give you some questions.

      1. Your work is done!

10. I also went ‘wow’ around those last two lines.

    1. I’m glad. They’re my favorite lines in the poem.

11. Brilliant use of alliteration here!

    1. Thank you!

12. Great job, Mr. Crow. I love the images leading to those last few lines.

    1. Thanks! It was a fun one to work on.

13. You.are.on.a.roll. WOW!!

    1. Thank you. Glad you liked it. 😘
