I think that your poem hits a soft spot for everyone here! Walking away, being the survivor is most times the hardest part. You've done your job yet again Rose!!! Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |

Rosemary, This was a strange poem for me to read because they are thoughts I've never had. It was very enlightening, indeed. Well done Liz |

This swept me away into your sorrow, Rosemary. I could feel that awful sensation of having to walk when you do not wish to - as Liz said, it is very enlightening. K '...I want to be free - free to know people and their backgrounds - free to move to different parts of the world...' Sylvia Plath |

I can relate to this, Rosemary, that 'walking away'...there is nothing that takes more courage. Denise |

BRAVO!!! *standing to applaud* You, my friend, are indeed a talented poet and now that I've read this, your compliment to me is indeed treasured! Thank you for writing and posting this poem which has brought chills to my spine! Excellent! (don't understand your reasoning for the centering and line break-up/formatting, though... perhaps we can talk more via email about writing) |
