Sweetheart: You have to stop this circle dead in its tracks...it's no good for you....hark at me...lol...but I'm serious...it's a superb line "and tuesday is tired of dying" but you have the power to give Tuesday and YOU something to smile about...I know, I know... I just think you, well, we all, deserve more than just rattling through our days but maybe that's cause I rattled through a few myself.. Big HUSG |

I'm sitting here with chills running up and down my spine and tears welling up in my eyes because i lived that weekly merry-go-round for years and i know exactly where you are right now which is not a fun place.... This is absolutely one of your very best pieces. Please don't change any of it.... Except the changing that needs to take place so that this poem is history.... Be well, my friend... listen to your heart and follow your plan. Thank you for a fabulous read! |

One of the great joys of our friendship has been watching your progression as a poet... from tentative to terrific! Yes, there are still things in your life that desperately need to be "fixed." But you're getting so damn good at articulating the problem... I'm just waiting for the day when we all rejoice in the solution. *S* Great job! |
