Trust not this pen today it anticipates the rain it may drain or sway in melancholic pain, there's time to turn away for I fear if you remain that a pallid gray your kinder soul obtain. You ask "why would you write if your mood is so severe it would incite the lighter reader to a tear?" Your questioning's quite right for to bleed here is a smear and so stain a site of gentler atmosphere. You see I can't resist, anonymity's a priest it's in this mist my depression is released, shake an angry fist, go 'head and color me a beast or to a blacklist unread as though deceased. "We can't cease your maddened pen but why here would you post a tragidienne, words viewed on every coast?" Explain why wetted hen lands on pillory the most it will be then to your brilliance I will toast. |

This is an awesome write. I guess my soul must wear a suit of armour, as I don't think it has turned from pink to gray after reading this. lol. Enjoyed. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

Your questioning's quite right for to bleed here is a smear and so stain a site of gentler atmosphere. Oh I can understand, continue to write no matter your mood, always enjoy reading your words. Wonderful write. El riesgo vive siempre! |

I am speechless. In the presence of a master poet. I HOPE that is not an insult. (I had to hit print and read it in black and white to get the full meaning.) Doesn't show well on my screen for some reason. I can only thank you for sharing your poetry with us. A treat. Warm Regards, Pat without surrender, be on good terms with all persons... |

Richard, you wrote...... "You ask why would you write if your mood is so severe" and "You see I can't resist, anonymity's a priest it's in this mist my depression is released" Well, that's the answer to the whole thing. When I get depressed, instead of wanting to hole up in a closet, I'm much better off if I will be with people or with a pen and paper. You chose both. You posted a beatifully written poem where many, many people are. Thanks for sharing with us, Richard. This was very good. Love To All, Ethel/garysgirl |
