Okay - I don't know what this says about me - but I liked this A and got what you said as I read it. Well - about half of it. The acronyms I never knew before. And some of the other stuff. But the rest and the feelings - got ALL of that. Nice. Warm regards huni.
Good on you penne, not surprised you and your son are like that. h.

Danny, I'm not sure I know entirely. Perhaps it matched and met something in myself. That 'something', that relates to the tentative questioning of the child who hopes for a positive answer. I definitely felt the hopeful but anxious tone of the last line. Familial? I'm not sure that it need only be between child and parent or a similar relationship. Some adult relationships (i.e. sexual, marriage, etc.) can have that uncertainty ("..don't you?") that comes, not from the current experience but from the activation of the inner child's unresolved issues and unmet needs. Maybe - now I think about it - it was my own inner child (who rarely heard those words when small ) that was touched by this little piece.
I thought I was jesting just a little with my comment to A, but now in answering your query, Danny, maybe it is more likely that my comment was almost all serious. huni(child).
PS. Are you the ghost?

Ok. Your explanation explains a lot. What I think you need to realize (and which dannyboy alludes to) is that there isn't enough to your poem to pull that out. Giving the reader some more insight as to why these words are haunting in the poem itself, will go a long way towards creating in the reader the feelings you want to convey.

i do understand what your saying. however we must, by right of having a brain, USE our imagination. do we need further words to conveniently paint out the situation, rather than imagine the tone of how its spoken.
nevertheless, i do appreciate all your comments.

huni - yes i am the Ghost - I hope that is a good thing
A I get that but what i want is for you to do that much work with the words and give me an image as well - yes i want it all. Then i get a double whammy, the reverberations with these words so precisely chosen and that of the image drawn. This, for me, is almost too splatter painting type. Might look good, interesting shapes, nice splotches, but no picture, and for me, no meaning.

Whats alll the fuss about? I get it. Its not as trivial as everyones making it out to be. Its simple and needs a medal for easy reading I reckon.Though I did expect more from A, he's got that something special.
A, loosen up, I think your capable of more than your leading on. Give us all something to marvel at. No pressure.

all i can add to this discussion is that the italian word for in love/true love/boyfriend/sweetheart [masc.] has a double 'n'... it's 'innamorato'...
hope i'm not out of line to mention that... hugs, m

daz, fyi . im not a he  AND i am loose. its others opinions that are tight. i can handle it though, but it does hurt. it is my first time on the grill plate, so i suppose i need to earn the stripes of resilience. however, i dont like to be over cooked, it makes me awfully tough
