GRAPPLING WITH

Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Wonderful! You made it seem effortless!

Thank you! Believe me, it was not. I had no idea how to begin, and somehow I finally found a flow this morning and stuck with it for a while. It's funny, I hardly ever write suicide poems, and yet, having allowed myself to look up the original source poem once I had finished, I feel pretty happy that they seem to share a universe.

That's the beautiful thing about poetry sans ego - it connects deeply between the source of the writer and the source of you.

Once again, well done, SatinUGal.

Do not be afraid to tinker with it. There are still 28 days or so left in the competition. We certainly weren't expecting anyone to submit an entry this quickly ( especially after we attempted it ourselves LOL ).

Thanks. I didn't expect it so quickly either. Just got in that groove, you know. I guess my object of ponderance is, I went SUPER minimal here. I could definitely make it a better poem by adding words. Will have to think about risk vs. reward.

Wow good read
