This reminds me of the phoenix, stark with emotion yet when all is lost, it reinvents itself and rises from the fire. Very nicely written.

As I was reading this I was formulating comments which you answered as I read further. I completely agree. It's the best way to be if you can. You have to feel these things to know what it feels like. Oh waiter! Another large slice of life please! Ez
The poetry you write makes me feel like I know something about you....that is always a good thing when we discover there is more to someone than just a name. I admire your honest approach.
This is one of the most open and human poems I have read in a long time. You are allowing yourself to feel all these emotions (therapeutic) instead of suppressing them, and setting yourself a time limit (being strong and mature) . Dee, this has got to be one of your most inspirational poems and I will add it to my favourites to read when I am feeling angry / self pitying. A truly great piece, in my opinion. Love, Fran xxx
