profound write Fee,,,

Heartbreaking write Felix as there are too many that would suffer the day you put your pen down but I like you can read far more into this write, maybe because I have come to know you so well. Keep that pen in motion Cuz.

Love ya face Cuz XOXO, Rose

This is so very moving, Felix. We are never too old or too young for love and passion, whatever form it takes. And there are so many hungry hearts who are ravenous to be fed. How sad that some may think it inappropriate to continue, for whatever reason. You can bet for every negative vibe we may pick up as to how people may be responding to our work, there are perhaps even more others who are silently devouring it. Ever the compassionate heart and all-seeing eye. No plight of man or woman ever escapes your notice or your pen and caring muse. Bless you, Darlin, Kate xx

Very touching and heartfelt. It would be a very sad day for any writer to lay down the pen. We should put ourselves out there, but, to share and not to be judged. Who are we to judge? However, in this world we will always be judged, no matter what we do. A poet should never lay down his pen until it is his/her own decision and he feels he has nothing more to say; those that judge can spoil our day; but, we can't let them stand in our way. This is a very deep and touching poem.

In a world of blind people you can ask why write, in a world of deaf people you can ask why sing? but then again...for those that can see and will see, for those that can hear and wish to hear...a writer has no choice but to take the quill and make that teardrops as big as the lump in the throat as phrases full of words that can touch the soul.

This write is very heartfelt - I too, have had the thoughts of putting down the pen and moving on. That is until I was introduced to AD and more importantly you. Your words I look forward to on a daily basis. I love your romantic side, as you do mine. We are kindred spirits, Fee. Let us not be judged. We write what we feel or have felt or want to feel. These are our fantasies for all of AD to read and comment. But, alas, no one really knows how deep or how true or how real they are except for us. For you or your muse to flick that switch, would be the death of a great poet and author. I am sure that many feel as I do - you bring to this site an inspiration - never think any less. It would be a shame to not have your words to start my day! So with that said, heres to us and our romantic foolishness.... :-) Look forward to more words from the east. Keep those fires burning!

Much Love,
Sanja xox

So painful to contemplate and perfectly penned Fee.

Excellent writing sweet Fee,so powerful...have a wonderful and safe day...HUgssssss

Sensitive, poigniant write, Fee...pulls at the heart.

Yes Kathy I agree with you about putting oneself out there but should it be to be judged...or just to share?

fee

I am glad to hear that this is your muse and not you. Yet, I think that when anyone of us leaves our passion 'in the dust,' there are reasons that remain close to ones heart. I can't help but feel a certain sadness for those who choose a difficult path rather than put themselves 'out there' for all to judge.

God bless you. Kathy

This one tugs on the heart strings, Fee. A subject close to my heart & I'm sure many other writers' hearts. I've often felt this way, but passion has a way of relighting that inner wick even when we try to give up what we love to do. Thank you for sharing this one! Love and Hugs,
Sheila

I love the way you wrote this--so heartbreaking--and dear, kind poet friend, thank you so very much for your reviews and comments yesterday--you lifted my spirits

So tenderly written and full of many emotions that I am sure many feel from time to time. Sometimes even the good things in our life must come to an end....

Be always safe,
Karen

Excellent write, somewhat sad. A very talented writer should never give up writing! Keep posting poems.

I often think I just might do that one of these days myself, and I think many a writer down through the ages has had many a similar thought; first with sharp stone, then with pencil, then pen, then typewriter, and now with computer.

It can happen.

Dear Fee -this is a a fine write, shared thoughts and feelings i have had sometimes too - your writes have reached me because you write from the heart and soul, a heartfelt thank you from me, Nicky xx

Sometimes Dear Fee what can be taken as judgement and scorn is really caring and loving boundaries not meant to hurt. There is only One that can during good and bad times.....

Gave him strength to face each fading day"

Heartbreaking - the Poet pens beauty in the midst of ugliness, yet doesn't sugarcoat the truth; to give up writing would be horrible to contemplate! Excellent write, Fee. Don't put down your pen.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :(

Those words are precious tokens. Imagine if Shakespeare had given up writing. You give us much to ponder.

Oh No No No
We Can Not Have The Actuality Of That,
Great Emotion Provoking Write Fee!
I did my CNA & HHA clinicals at a Nursing Home. I could hardly work. I was so distraut at their life plastered all over the walls (Photos, plaques, awards blah blah blah) & no family to visit bit be annoyed on christmas. I would rather call Dr. Kavorkian.
What this all means is when there is nothing left we wither & die inside. I've seen it. It's awfully saddening.

Heartbreaking write, Fee; I hope that you'll never end up posting your last poem. You are a valued asset to the den; we need you here! Very well and powerfully penned; bravo!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(
