Swords and Mirrors

Hullo, dear lady. reads like some one has had a rough time of it. welcome home

Very image-ful poem, Grace. really does relay  the emotions attached to it. Hood stuff, Lady

*hat tip*

Hi Lepp, thank you so much for reading me and for being here. It's wonderful to return and see everyone again. Aye, rough it was, Lepp, rough it was. Thanks for the RL too. Honoured.

Love the range from 'screaming fits inside' all the way to 'quiet as hushed baby breaths '. It evokes an image of tossing and turning that insomnia induces, plus a hint of 'bargaining with God' for a restful solution/ending. Nice to read you again after your 'summer break'. (and thank you I've just seen, for following). Take care. Best regards, Josh.

Thank you, Josh, for reading me. It was a summer break...😀just glad to be back.

Descriptive, n truly outstanding inking my friend! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Thank you so much Poetic! So happy to see you here.

Visceral and suspenseful Grace.

Thanks dear Daniel for reading me.👍

The first two stanzas are so intense, then the last so gentle.  Remarkable work that shows your versatility.  Delighted to see you Grace!

You are always so kind and sometimes you see beyond the words🌹

Outstanding poetry with lots of emotion and great symbolism. You did a terrific job writing this one, Grace! You're a talented poet!

If only I was as talented as you are, my dear friend. Thank you so much.

Fortunately this is no competition... Poetry is subjective, so one man's trash could be another man's treasure. For me, any poet that expresses an emotion in a creative way is a poet :)

There's no need to compete... Or to feel lesser than any other. We are each unique in our own way. I happen to really like your poetry 😊

Honoured.

This is both disturbing and soothing. Thank you.
