was going through some old ones and found this...not sure why I am posting other than I am in a writing slump again....sigh humpty dumpty sat on a wall she used to think that he needed her smiles as much as she needed his but she doesn’t anymore she used to tremble with delight at the sight of his name but she won’t anymore she used to trust all of her to all of him she used to trust him to never reach out and hurt she doesn’t anymore she used to think he was the perfect man she used to give her total desire futureless or not but she won’t anymore she used to think that she was his anchor too she used to think that she balanced his walk through the hard times she used to worry for him should she go but she doesn’t anymore she used to worry that without him all the kings horses and all the kings men wouldn’t be enough to make her whole again she still does... |

How did you know I feel like Humpty Dumpty this afternoon, I feel totally scrambled.... Kathleen Blake "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey." Laurie Lee |

You write so well of wisdom we never wanted. *S* But I'd rather be broken than hard-boiled. *G* (Sorry... couldn't resist! *G*) (I'll Fed-Ex this case of super glue as soon as I can get my fingers loose. *G*) |

I really enjoyed this it's a good repost....have to say it was more than worth the read! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |
