Darn You, Fellow Travelers! sometimes I’d rather pretend that I’m the only one that no one would understand how I feel, what I’ve been through, and then I run across a curse of a verse and it all becomes too clear again; I have to learn that others have been there, too that I’m not alone and that I must realize there’s a way to be a comfort to those with like experiences that I, too, can glean from the response of others as they “get it out” deal with it punch it in the nose pinch tight its toes then sing the pain away giving room for the clouds to part and allow the sunshine back in How else can blue sky find me? ©June 26, 2003 Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Well said. I know the surprise of reading something, and saying, how did they know? |

AMEN, Virginia. This is exactly what I was thinking when I wrote this poem yesterday.... /pip/Forum80/HTML/001265.html You just said it a whole lot better, though!!

This is a very nice poem! I thought it was going to be something different -- and you may want to think about changing it for this reason -- the term 'fellow traveler' is used by spies and terrorists to signify one of their own -- I thought this was going to be about terrorism... terms like this also send up red flags to the FBI's carnivore...  |
