Anything

It's good to see you back, Mel! This is indicative of your classic rhyme scheme and ability to convey those circumstances you so often deal with personally in such a relatable way.  

Ahavati.
I thank you as always. I have not been writing much but always feel welcome when I do.

hugs you beautiful Mel I know this reality all too intimately
the fear and paralyzing anxiety
I do anything and everything to escape it
I wish you peace lovely lady ❤

I hope writing helps you a little
you've been missed
I like to try and trap my fears and pain in poems...

great write...

love Brenda ❤

Thank lovely Brenda. Writing always helps. I know you get it and I always appreciate what you have to say. Bless you my dear friend.

Thank you Mirelle. You are not alone. While sad that you relate also glad. I am not cryptic in my writing. I say what I feel because that is what works for me. I find it cathartic. Bless you dear😘

I loved how you kept this "in general". I too like to write poems like that.

Hi Mel. The sensitivity and palpable emotion of this write translates well through your gentle disbursement of line, stanza and subtle syllabic harmony. Beautifully rendered and very relatable.

I would be thrilled if you would send an audio reading of this to the site's podcast, The Poetcast Project. I think people would benefit from hearing this and the feature may draw interest to your writing on site. If you would be interested, please send an mp3 or mp4, including your screen name and the poem's title, to:

Member participation is the life's blood of the podcast, so I hope you will consider it.

In kindness,
Daniel
