Night Calls - 1. That Night

Wow! That was like a bolt of lightning! Very powerful! Thanks

Omg. WOW. I loved this!! The beginning was a hook, and the repetitions of "that night" really urged the reader to read on and on and on until BANG! A heartfelt, sickening impact at the end. There was no angst, but an implied melancholy and loneliness that was done well with the short isolated last few lines.

Amazing job, again, JJG.

strong stuff well expressed. a memorable piece.

The constant repetition tells you that everything changes because of "that night". As the reader you are dragged along and wait to see what the final sad conclusion is.

Strong and Fatalistic, great poem.

Wow, touching, sad, almost bitterly sad, i loved the repitition of 'that night' because as a reader I knew something was coming but that wasn't what i expected. Loved this

Damn

I could see that ending coming, but it didn't lessen the impact, take away the hurt, or draw any less of a body blow.

That was brutal.

The very idea that at times we choose so foolishly to be stubborn.

Lesson to be learnt in those words.

Heavy stuff, but amazing all the same.

Powerful words. Tragic and haunting. Thank you so much for sharing!

Such sad word leading to a sad ending. I read it twice. Nicely done.

WOW.....I wasn't really expecting an ending like that very well written
