Blaming oneself doesn't make it easier. Acceptance is what we all should reach in life's storms. Ps spelling needs attention wear and tear. It doe matter.
You're right about the spelling. I wish there was a way to save the poem till I have the energy to proof read and edit it. I find the tweaking process very constricting on my eyes and mind. Something about the way the text box is set up. I like to go in later when in the mood.
A touching poem that forces us to think but not to speak. I became speechless after reading this poem.
I think that's an interesting telling on a poem's power; it is actually sincere. I was very upset about something that was happening with my teeth today and I could have prevented the problem if I had given them proper care all these years. Totally avoidable and I wish I had avoided it.
Honeztly, Julia. I can relate to you. This day was really hard for me. But..I can't do a redo of my life. Nor can you. Poets suffer. And yet..tomorrow is a whole new day to be glorious. Appreciate and wholly love you as you are now.
Sweet, thank you. Just a hard day on some teeth problems and then I saw an old old boyfriend with a sleazy looking' woman and got upset.
Julia, dear Poetess, i love this poem for its honesty.! When you say' it was my fault', the soul rejoices with the truth so warmly accepted. There is absolutely nothing to regret. There is always a remedy for teeth, weight and blood pressure. Go ahead and get it cured, Julia! You can and you will surely! Loved your sincere and truthful poem....10
So empathetically stated, Geeta. But that is what it boils down to- teeth, weight and blood pressure: no poetic mystery there. It can all be cured!
