Lumpy oatmeal makes me crazy!

I told a story that I told before
Because I didn’t want to force
new ones that aren’t
quite ready to be heard
It’s hard to untangle
angry words that linger
festering and eating creativity

like acid

So
I told a story that I had told before
to open a door
to words that once flowed
And I can feel them
falling to my fingers again

Onto a page that opens
wounds to heal hurt
that disappears more
each day

I hope there is indeed 'healing power' in poetry?!
[so far though, it has eluded me] ...

applause for this powerful, well written 'penning' !

Yes... it is. *S* But if each kerplunk can heal even a tiny bit of the hurt, recovery will someday be complete.

Hoping for rapid kerplunking... and appreciating every letter of every word... *S*

My husband refused to enter into arguments because he said he did not want to say anything he could not take back.Instead his silence was sometimes harder to take. But all in all I think his way was best because words do leave bitter stings that are so hard to live with. He could always sleep nights as soon as his head hit the pillow while I sometimes had regrets  to live with.  latearrival

Sweetie, kerplunk, kerplunk, kerplunk ~ write away the dismay. I know this is a difficult time for you, but whenever I find myself in situations that take a toll on me, I repeatedly say, "and this too shall pass" ~ and it usually does. Albeit, it ofttimes takes longer than we Earthlings would like!

Wrapping you in loving arms,
Linda
P.S. May 2010 be a healing year filled with promise of great things to come!

yes, the healing power of putting our thoughts on paper, but the really beautiful thing is...when you share these writings it may help heal others too!

Thanks for wonderful poem.

Dear Alison think positive my dear and put all the nasty things in the throw away

basket and don't under any circuumststances
regurgitate them. You have far too many

happy times to enjoy in the future, and you will if you bury the past. Good luck dear friend and take care, love.

Lindsay
