1st…congrats on the publishing.
Wow these are some powerful words, Susan. I feel these are connected. Separate they are amazing pieces of power. Combined and read one after the other transports me through a different and difficult journey. That may just be my odd-little-mind on overdrive, but it really did.

Thank you Wulf!!! I adore your mind and love that you read them the way you did. The poems all come from an intensely difficult time; thankfully it was a very long time ago.

Wow. Incredible writing! You inspire me to write more!! I sent my poem to a poetry contest! Of course then I read past winners and felt totally stupid. Still it’s a decent poem. I guess I should be selective where I send stuff.

Sarah, it is awesome that you submitted it!!!!! Try not to second guess yourself. You are putting your work out there and that is fantastic. It took me a while to get into a groove with submissions and I still struggle with it sometimes. I am thrilled that you are inspired to write more! I can’t wait to read your poem!!!!!

I love your deceits, your rage of fire and forgetfulness, your unfurling secrets and lies, your heavy cloak of resentment, your bitterness and ravaged lives.
Sombre and thick with emotion. Masterful.

Very expressive Susan. Breaking trust, what could be more tragic than that ?

I was a long time ago and a very hard time, but one that taught me so much.
