Crossed, Broken & Dismayed

That is one scary looking image

Well written Wally

BIG LIKE

Thank you very much Poet. Sometimes reflective poems need a visual representation.

Dark poems actually quite brightens my day...

There is always a light at the end of the tunnel, sometimes very far but  it's there.

The image is really startling, but makes a serious statement all on its own. I like the strength of the poem. A sort of "never say die" type of attitude. Good luck in the comp!

A bit of hope and optimism helps, after all, many of us have come back from serious or grave situations. As we grow older, our skin gets thicker.

Damn! Your getting to be a pro at these visual poems! * slowly backs out of room *

LOL. Thanks JB. Sometimes the image sparks a memory, or the memory goes searching for an image.

Dear W,

That’s exactly what it feels like, times a billion. You have described this to its minutiae brilliantly.  I wish you the best in the comp. H🌷

Thanks Honoria, and thanks for adding to your RL.
Yes, the weight and burden that comes along with it can be unexplainable, but I found this visual representation was perfect for it.

Another really dynamic marriage of brevity, depth, subtle lilt of rhyme. Stars and scars really hit home for me.

Thank you very much Daniel.
My love for rhyme is addicting you can say, but this time it felt like it could describe it closer. But we all bounce back from it.
