I touch the glass as a mime would do. Clear, frozen time, I can't pass through. I must find words that will shatter this wall and release my voice... once and for all. Ida Werrett |

I know the feeling, Ida , I'm having "word" problems myself. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways ~*~ |

Ida, a long time ago I wrote of such a glass, only the poem was long and drawn out... but I never did relate it to a mime... I like yours! |

I know the feeling. Almost a hopeless claustrophobic unable to breath feeling. Very well expressed. JL Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

I can relate to being "behind the glass", with palm pressed to it, shouting for all life's worth and yet knowing no one on the other side can hear. It's a despairing feeling. Excellent write. I do hope you break through. Michael |

Yes, I have been feeling a little stifled lately (As Archie Bunker would say). Thank you all for reading and commenting. Ida |

I'm always intrigued by your inspiration, your visuals, and your short verse most of all. Oh so good!! |

Quite impressive, dear Ida. Sometimes we express our innermost feelings without words. And you offered a great vision of this state of things. Love, Margherita |

Glass ceiliings, glass walls. I hate that! But I liked this. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |
