My fellow poets have been so good to me
And I guess you've wondered where I've been
I was once here every day
And now it's rarely that I'm seen

My writing had made me so emotional
I'm sure that many of you can relate
But I felt that I was suffocating
And needed to take a break

215 poems I had written
And I felt the walls were closing in
Most of my writing was so personal
I felt like I'd gone out on a limb

February 2001 was when
I first began to write
How easily my words seemed to flow
As I remember being at work
on that particular night

I wrote about my late father
And all the love I felt for him
Cancer had taken him away from me
And that's how my writing seemed to begin

So much turmoil in my mind
Such a tragic loss I felt
Without my dearly loved father
My heart just seemed to melt

Written expression came so easily
As I was averaging two poems a day
If only my Dad could see me
How I wondered what he'd say

I just hope I'd have done him proud
That my words would touch his heart
And through my words I feel much closer
Like we are not so far apart

Without doubt ... you have 'done him proud'
And in doing so, have shared such lovely thoughts from your heart.
Thank you, friend~

Your title caught my eye, I know all about emotional overload. Good to see you here, and please take care of yourself.

Life is an ebb and flow... sometimes we go with it; sometimes we swim against it. I completely relate to your title, especially lately, and I am moved by your sentiments here as well as by the other poems of yours which I have read. I'm glad to read you again as I too have been absent for a while. Have no doubt, however, that your words are waves in their own right -- they have the power to move me and probably many others as well. I hope you are doing well.

Sue...

Dearest....
You have surely made your father proud for the heart you've shown, and the love you've shard.

And we are proud to have you in this circle of friends.....

{{{hugs}}}

Thank you

Thank you all so much for your neverending kindness, it means so very much to me. Since I wrote this I have penned another 4 poems which I plan to submit soon......I just can't seem to stop the flow of words and thoughts in my mind so while they are there I'll keep writing things down.
Thank you for making me feel so welcome and a part of a wonderful gathering of very talented people. I feel honoured to be in such company.
Take care......Sue

I understand fully..writing does have such healing powers..but everyone needs a break from it from time to time.. time to get out and experience and enjoy the life we all write about. Take care..

so many of us started writing I believe for similar reasons..I too, began after the death of my father and wrote at least two a day until I had over 1000 that first year. Eventually they slowed and then the art and skill entered instead of the forever flowing words that would not stop. I know exactly how you feel. I wrote as a daily diary and still do when the mood takes hold. I wish I could write about any subject like several of the poets on here, but it doesn't work that way for me...You have written many wonderful poems and if you have to take a break because the emotions get to be too much, than do so but return and share with us when you feel you can. hugssssss
