2) cont'd Special Poetess Friend Susan, Thank You so very much for this truly meaningful poem that gives us permission to feel 'blue' without feeling 'bad' about it!
In my reread of this soulful poem, I've come to appreciate it even more. Since that time, some friends have moved on to The Great Beyond. In having experienced that bluesy mood, I was able to more fully appreciate the precious value of those great friendships.
A waterfall of true and beautiful thoughts, bittersweetness blessed!
Your last wo lines: and trace its lonely tears/ down our windowpane.....I find the great depth here! A magnificent poem....top score.
Thank you so much, Richard, may we inspire each other to write ourselves into joy and a state of grace! ! !
This poem is perfection, Susan. Yes, one of our social problems is that so many people, mostly professionals, seem to think feeling down is a problem. These are the same people who tend to say that 'you're not what you feel." Irony? This goes to myfavourites!
Thank you, Mj, , , , it seems odd to me to be told we should ignore our feelings and try to erase them from our set of behaviors/emotions... we feel them for a reason and we should explore them, embrace them or at least understand them before banishing them to the corner! Thank you for faving it! ! ! !
very amazing poetic metaphor can be found in this stanza: well done susan tomorrow we can dance in the rain but today we can watch it rain and trace its lonely tears down our windowpane 10++++++++++++++
Thank you so much- -this poem meant a lot to me and thank you for the ten, my friend

Yes it is better to let blue take over you for a short while and work to shake it off when one is ready for it- mentally, physically and emotionally. Nothing lasts for ever. Congratulations for a lovely poem that touches on our feelings with so much honesty and reality.
Thank you, Savita, It is good to hear other people take a walk with their times of melancholy and work them out without fearing them
Congratulations! We can dance at greater joy. Wonderful poem is brilliantly penned and shared. This is nice to revisit this.
Thank you for the congratulations! It pleases me to hear such nice comments about it from you!
An insightful philosophical reflection. A beautiful work of art. Thanks for sharing, Susan. Remain enriched.
Hey, Susan! Good to see your name in this category. I know the feeling— Why let some forced happiness stain the melancholy brought on by rain? -GK
Indeed! ! ! A good melancholy is hard to find and keep cuz people are always trying to talk you out of keeping it around :)
