Comment from Wendy G
The meaning of your poem, expressed in the third line, comes as a shock. The drier's actions reinforce the circular painful and recurring thoughts. A terrible truth.
Well expressed.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
This is a sad write and I don't have any of my husband's clothes now although I hung onto them for a few years, it is a small comfort to keep someone's clothes after they have died, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Comment from Katie Mae Dead
Very good one Gypsy! This was pretty funny. You made great use of the form here. I like the last line that puts together the figurative with the literal. It gave me a chuckle. Good luck in the contest!

Comment from Mary Shifman
This is an excellent but heartbreaking poem. I have never had children so I can't imagine what this might be like, but I think your powerful must be close. Very well done.

Comment from LisaMay
Use of the word 'cruel' made me think at first this was about a failed relationship and that some revenge was planned, but then on reading your note I see that the thoughts themselves are a cruel torment of loss. That is very creative to use the motif of a tumble dryer and the recurring thoughts spinning.

I would imagine that his absence but yet residual clothes in the drier would certainly cause thoughts to run wild. A fabulous entry in this 3 line entry in this contest, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

Comment from Mike Stevens
Another fine poem, Gypsy, and substitute a wife for a he, and the fact I never do laundry now, this poem could be written by me. Thoughts set on fumble-dry race around my head!

Comment from Ulla
This is a great three line poem. I loved how you compared his turmoil of thoughts with a tumble dryer's relentless spin. This is a great entry for the contest and I wish you the best of luck. Ulla:)))

Comment from Valerie Fish
Very clever, describing your thoughts like clothes in a tumble drier!, the picture makes it all that much clearer.
I'd like to know what those thoughts were, is some sort of revenge planned?
Well Done

In my mind it's a mother washing her son's clothes who just died, but it can be anything you think about.
Thank you very much, Valarie.
