Down the Drain (poem) by Sue Hess on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on October 25, 2005

And then, I can't help but think... of that long, long watery ride, sloshing us clean again, filtering back the grime, and the gush back into the mainstream... once again. Life and its cycles...

You express very well a feeling that all of us experience at one
time or another. Scary place to be! Helps to get it out, especially when you know that by doing so, you help others climb to a better place. Good for you! 'Pea' <3

Sue, your ability to capture an emotional reality so succinctly with just the right words and images always amazes me. Here's hoping you and we all may be buoyed up by hope. Dawn

Sue, I know where you are and its a matter of will.
Tinka was right. You're strong. If anyone has their feet firmly rooted in the ground, its
you. You just got your equilibrium shaken, thats
all. You'll be dizzy and disoriented for awhile
but then you'll emerge even stronger...now if
this write isn't personal, well its a very
effective expression of meloncholia!

Sometimes, reality sucks, fortune hides from us, and the view is dim. However, at other times.... Your words are few, yet powerfully expressive! Very well done!
