poetic thoughts flows from pens both terse and long -- the impact of the interpretation upon the reader always depends upon the sincerity of the emotion conveyed -- this one is a pure gem -- I see no ebb here, only creativity unleashed -- peace and love my dear friend -- Jon Michael

In eight lines you've said volumes. Bravo.

I'm so in awe of people being able to produce such tight writing when at a professed ebb, Eileen. There is such depth and contrasts of both mood and tension in this little nugget. Doubtless you are already streaming with ideas and latent poetic energies after such a "breathing space", but I wish you all the necessary health and renewed sense of well-being to be able to bring your gifts to fruition on the page. I have every confidence you will "conjure" something wonderful again soon! Be well and relaxed, xx

I love this pen, Eileen, just beautiful!

Pen dry, eh? Stuffed with turkey and wine, it will soon be overflowing.

Cheers, my dear,

Ron

It sounds like it is time for you to take to the lake or mountains for a few hours to find your center, once again, Eileen. The smallest of inspirations can bring on that spark that awakens the muse. Happy Thanksgiving!
Take care,
Sherry

In the Ed's family we have many sorrows and many happiness, it is a balance game and being sure that there is an arm available to grab, just in case...

Poetry is the touchstone, which transforms pain into beauty. Nicely done.

Your pain searches for relief that I pray you will find soon. God bless you stout heart for that which burdens you is more than one should have to bear.

Eileen,
Not only do you know how to say it but how to reach your readers. Love this!

John

the true poetic spirit filters through all pain ... be well ...

Doesn't get much better than this: even in the midst of pain, you still write and inspire. Thank you, Eileen, this is beautiful.

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

You know poetry well.
Blessings,

John

Lovely, Eileen, just lovely. I think of you often. Be well. Be happy.

Excellent poem, with an excellent rhyme. It is indeed my pleasure to read you again.
GOD BLESS YOU
