Your poem is a potent reminder of how humans are living in alienation to their world, Karen; a society that we've created. It's very sad, really. Thank you. Love, peace, and blessings to you,

emotion is certainly felt in this piece...hugs if this is your current experience...and excellent writing expressing it.

several yrs back I had 3 back to back pull overs, resulting in 3 very expensive tickets...it finally came clear to me I needed to 1.slow down (no matter what) 2.keep my mind in the now moment and 3.take time to love myself (quiet time, baths, anything non demanding of my time or emotion) it was 6 yrs before I got another ;)

Devastation reaping the whirlwind... ALWAYS it is our driving that will undo us at such tragic times... and ALWAYS the traffic warden is unrelenting and seemingly heartless. I feel for you in this. One episode on its own would have sent me diving for the duvet... and a pillow to smother The Beast! It's important, perhaps, to just keep breathing and putting as many moments of space in between events as possible, so that there is a chance of gaining perspective and solution. Glad you can write it out, Karen... otherwise a good scream and holler into the broom cupboard can at least dispel a bit of tension! Praying that some supernatural wings carry you to a safe and untroubled spot for a while, so you can regroup. God bless, Kate xx

Seek and you will find comfort and peace...prayer is the only answer at a time like this. I'll pray for blessings to encompass you.

Thanks for reviewing my poem. This poem of yours is sincre and heart felt. In the bible Romans chapter 5 versus 3 to 8 are the versus I utilize to explain why God allows such times in our lives. Not meant to be religious but just some words of wisdom that help me. God Bless

Wow...that would be tough.

This was very poignant; I hope that God covers you in new blessings to bring you healing.

Very sad, Karen, and I hope things are much brighter now.

My heart goes out to you and I know the feeling so well, while driving to hospital to see my sil when I found out she was dying and may not make it the same thing happened to me and for the sake of doing 52 KM hour instead of 32 I will lose my license for six months. All we can do though is try not to think that all police are likt that and some do have big hearts.

Awe you've tugged at this mother's heart my friend...you've expressed yourself well within these lines. Such a story woven within a few lines, a story of heartache that will linger in my heart...prayers coming your way, from one mother to another!
Blessings my friend...I pray all turns out well!

you conveyed your experience quite well here, Karen. reminds me of my recent poem, "Crash," a little more esoteric but inspired by real events. you put me there with you. good writing! Dawn
