Crumbling Crumbling to pieces like a fallen cinder block dropped from ten feet up in the lost atmosphere laughing at the ground as each minute particle breaks into thousands of sniveling voices forged. Have you not seen the mischievous lord of play creeping, crawling through shapeless dark images within happy people left out to dry in backyards. He plots he twists he mangles those minds to shreds blustering clouds fledge overhead milking thunder as lightening screamingly threatens to undermine all. See my name shudder as written in the clouds eye tomorrow may be a day full of happiness and love but today is my nightmare of despair and sadness blaring. |

Looks like a pretty grim situation, quite dark, and challenging, tempting me to add, but I try to stay calm and hope to give my complete moral support and well-wishes to you. GET UP, and let your spirits soar.... A fine piece of poetic work, I must add, but methinks its time for you to celebrate life... Regards, sudhir... Hey you, out there in the cold, Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me? Hey you, standing in the aisle, With itchy feet and fading smile, can you feel me? Hey you, don't help them to bury the light. Don't give in without a fight. Hey you, out there on your own, Sitting naked by the phone, would you touch me? Hey you, with your ear against the wall, Waiting for someone to call out, would you touch me? Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone? Open your heart, I'm coming home.... by Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) - The Wall |

Excellent expression, Gloria. Sometimes hope in a brighter tomorrow is the only thing that keeps us going through the darkness of the present circumstances. So hold fast to that hope, always! Love ya Denise |

Sudhir: Thanks for your kindness, it was just a tough day, but my spirits are back and soaring.  Denise: Thank you so very much, you are a wonderful friend that I cherish deeply. Parker: You've blown me away with your reply, thank you so very much. |

There are some really great analogies here. The cinder block dropped...the sniveling voices. Days like this are few and far between, I hope. It helps to put them into perspective in a poem, though. Great writing. |
