A poignantly well written poem by another author has stirred up feelings in me so intense, I find I cannot accurately describe them, check out this poem by Ch'erie Perette...

Recommendation...


 


This morning I awoke again to clouds,


Rain on the way as we have had all week,


Depressing it can be, cold & damp it certainly is,


But a bright spot on my daily horizon comes,


From reading poetry & such on AuthorsDen…


 


Authors such as Regis Auffray, Scott Zachary,


Ed Kostro, Susan Sparks & one very special one, this day,


This special one has written a very poignant piece,


We all have done so I know, but this one piece,


Has brought to me tears, not an easy thing, but of late?


 


Ch’erie Perette has a new piece called, Five Months,


Maybe you will check it out, find that you like it & comment,


Better yet, read it, don’t comment immediately, think about it,


Then go back, re-read it then comment as I think you may enjoy it more,


I most CERTAINLY did so, having saved it, and printed it out, that is herein the score…


 


A recommendation of this sort I don’t think I have done,


Since my inception at the Den several months ago, yes none,


But this one piece, it has stirred up inside me, emotions, some so fierce I cannot explain,


So painful I gotta say, I wish I had not read it, sorry Ch’erie,


But read it I did, and now have to deal with the self, so I cannot complain,


Enjoy for yourself, this piece with your self, I think you will not regret…

Yikes, Ed, It never occured to me you know, I just felt the need to release something that has been building up in me for so long. I actually feel, now after writing it, I can write some more along those lines, not so sad like, and really get it all out at last.
You are a sweetie, no doubt about it, Willow is sitting here whining to get up on the bed, :) Duchess is in bed and the whole house is sleeping cept me, all snuffled up with a cold.
Thank you so much, and I hope that I have helped you in some special way, as to do for you as I seem to be doing here for myself. Anyone else who benefits from that write, will make me reeeel happy.

Hugs to you
Ch'erie, Duchess & Willow xxxxxx

Ed;

Haven't read it yet, but will. Whatever my reaction to it, the poem has already done what the author intended when it touched you in the way it did. And that is what it is all about.

What a wonderful, sensitive person/poet you are, Ed. Being recognized and recommended by our peers, our fellow writers, in my opinion, is the ultimate in praise. Thank you for this but even more, thank you for just being who you are.. a dear, thoughtful man. I shall, indeed, find that poem and read it, on your beautifully expressed recommendation. katy xox.
