Beautiful written!

An interesting story :)

Thanks Sue and Van; I was beginning to wonder if anyone was going to read this poem. 

Some of us are slow to get around.

I love it Angie and I imagine it is how many a waitress feels within her heart , dreams broken down, but not forgotten, wonderful poem , I'd like stilleto heels again too

Thanks Elsie, I think we all have a bit of that green eyed monster in us.

I like this, but the tone, at least in part, is empathetic, if not sympathetic, as if it's not jealousy or even envy this person feels, but  feeling left out--a "hungry need."  The feelings and the terms seem to work against each other--although they do work well. 

Suggestion:  "green" in the first line is superfluous.

Sorry you did not see the envy in this but that's kind of how I saw it.  But jealousy is part of need, "I want what you have, I need what you have".  Empathy is more like I have been there also and this person has not been there so not sure exactly what you mean Chris but glad you kind of enjoyed the poem anyway.

I think you did a great job!!! Wonderful write and congrats on the win!

Thanks Lisa!  Congrats to you also.

This was real good. I liked it much!

very nice work

What a great image, and the words flow so well giving heart to the image.  Well done.

Fascinating, the way the story and the feeling blend into the poem.
