Hiya H
I absolutely love the last line, got a good laugh out of that.

Your poem is delicious, I devoured the non-drivel with gusto and looked for more.

Please Sir, may I have some more?
Lovely read
💜💜💜💜

Dear W,

Why thank you, kind sir. I’m pleased you enjoyed. I greatly appreciate your read and lovely comment. Stay tuned…if it’s more apathy you want…I can deliver. 😉
Thank you again. H🌷

Hey H... so relatable... great job with this... really like the layout... great use of line breaks... draws the poem out... so the feeling resonate...

Dear L,

Thank you very much, I’m very grateful for this observation regarding layout. I know how it sounds in my head but it’s a crapshoot on how someone else will read it. Thank you again! H🌷

It's okay to write about things one is knowledeable in, but at some point it does start to feel like one had exhausted all metaphors on the subject.

What helps is a push come to shove. Remember, NaPoWriMo is soon upon us. A chance to get out of your head and into another's. New perspectives and adventures can come from pretending you are someone else.

Dear JB,

Good point, pretending I’m someone else…my next write will be from the perspective of Marie Antoinette. Mmmm maybe not…
As always, thank you for your kind support and terrific observations.

Well, most of us are mired in something. It's hard to shake that shit loose, but we keep trying.
So it sounds like the same old song because it is.
Still, once in a while one catches a breath of fresh air, and it's worth the effort.
Enjoyed this.
J.

Dear J,

Mired in something…so very true!! And mire is a choke hold when you feel like it won’t end. Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. It’s made my day. H🌷

I hear ya H

I've got writer's block a go go
Even I am sick of my own writing

BIG LIKE

Dear PS,

Well, no wonder! You’re in the wrong place! You need to be at Whiskey a go go! You might be sick of your writes but we aren’t, so get cracking’!
Thank you so much for this fab comment. H🌷

Dearest, Honoria
Wow! Wow! Wow! you and me both. I think this is precisely why I haven't written much lately for waning passion regarding just about everything. I believe that passion still exists in this space so this year I will be present more often and concentrate on passionate things.
Thank you for putting a voice to my malaise.
Bravisima my dear companion in the struggle.🌹💖
XXOO,
Bobby

Dear GW,

The best news ever! You’ll be on site more! Finally! This will surely provide the necessary passion to ignite more awesome poems from you! 😊
Thank you for this lovely comment. It’s brightened my day considerably.
Xx H🌷

Oh YES, me too, sister! SO bored with myself and my same stupid petty (or even serious) problems and themes. I can't write anything any more because it all just disgusts me. You seem to have managed to tap into my own malaise and make it into something lovely and relatable though. Bravo!!
❤k

Dear K,

Phew! I’m so glad you weren’t annoyed with me for busting into your head like this 😊
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment to validate my frustration. I was thinking my next poem might be about baking. Yeah right! I’m laughing out loud on that too! Xx

Dear H,  
Your wise and sage words have echoed around in my head ever since I've first read them a few days ago— as I feel so lackluster and totally dulled, myself. I took a few days to reply because I wanted to see if I was able to get motivated or inspired by something that didn't feel so completely derivative of my 'typical usual'.... Well, I can say I've started to learned just how freaking difficult it is to lose the 'self blahs', while still trying to stay pumped and motivated to find a new 'freshness'....
The search continues.... ha!!

I deeply thank for sharing with us. Your open and truthful sentiments are super examples of a rejuvenation to a writing impetus!!
Ironic but so, so true!! 👍🏻

It's always a true pleasure to read your work, my friend 🙏🏻

Dear BV,

The “self blahs” are the pits. Everything just feels so grimy in this state. And I can totally relate to trying to be “up” for all else when it’s the last thing you really feel. But! I think there’s a tide turning and we’re going to catch that wave with gusto!
New enthusiastic poems are on the way. We’re just letting them get organized. Thank you so much for your lovely comment and support. This is what helps my world go round😊x
Thank you! H🌷

Hey H……around and around it goes……continues to always go back to where we left our broken souls……just to break us again…….emotional to have read…….purple luv & hugs xo :)

Dear FG,

Right?! It’s zany zoo out here! Some days I think there’s success and others it’s just a wasteland of heartbreak. Alas.. Thank you so much for sending some of that purple love, it helps ease the pain. X H🌷

Good points raised. I can relate to this, Honoria. I think, change the angle slightly (or the structure) but continue regardless.

Dear L,

You’re entirely into something here. Move a muscle change a thought and inevitably there’s a different POV. But carry on is the absolute must do. Got to keep going. I really appreciate being in solidarity here. Thank you for your wonderful comments and support. H🌷

Damn gerbils.  
I once caught an injured (wild) dove on the way to school.  My teacher put it in the huge cage that only had a gerbil in it.  There were branches and such for the dove to perch upon ,etc.  
In the morning, upon getting to class, we discovered that the dove had not only killed the gerbil, but literally shredded it.  The teacher promptly took the killer bird outside and let it go, injured wing or not.  Lol.  

At least it wasn't boring huh!  

Good to see you posting some of your stuff!  

Dead S,

So the moral of the story is don’t bring an injured bird to that teacher. 😊
Nope, no boring story there my friend. Very interesting intel on wild doves. Gruesome but interesting. 😉
Always a pleasure to have you visit my humble pages. Thank you. H🌷

That’s the power of language, the idea can be conveyed in so many ways. I often worry I’m repeating myself and then it’s a challenge to find new approaches.

Excellent spill

Dear W,

Honestly, I don’t think anything I’ve ever read of yours is repetition. You’ve always managed preen get new and different material. But I sure appreciate your comment and the challenge of finding different ways to approach a topic. Thank you so much for your lovely response. It is always such a pleasure to see you.
H🌷

Hi H., thanks for the poem.  Writing can be an antidote to apathy.  Just putting it out there takes courage.  It’s worth it to see what’s new in an old routine.  That’s the challenge.  

Dear PC,

I really like the idea of seeing what’s new in an old routine. What a cool way to rethink something. Thank you very much for your read and insightful comment. I really appreciate that. H🌷

Very existential
Almost Ecclesiastic
I dig it
I really dig it

Dear M,

Thank you! I’m extremely touched by your thoughtful and kind reply. I’m so pleased you dig it. 😊
Thank you. H🌷

Deaf H,
I love the genuineness of this well penned poem of yours. It is also very relatable and universally felt I'm sure. You have such a gift for writing such wonderfully honest and meaningful spills. I have really missed reading you!

Dear FM,

There you are! It’s been too long. Thank you for this boost of kindness. I’m so happy to see you and so humbled by this lovely response. Thank you. H🌷

You're very welcome! It's a praiseworthy poem and we'll deserving of the wonderful remarks of your fellow poets. You're so good!

Dear R,

😂 “ Stank it UP”

Hey, man! A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do! And the gerbil’s were asking for it.

Mom…yeah, I know…I’m so screwed…and not in the good way!

(Thanks for the kick. I will get my hippie on 😊. I think that’s exactly what I need to do. H🌷)

Dear R,

I totally get it. These topics sometimes just feel so worn out and impossible to create from, then we strike poetic hold and for a few magic moments we write. Wish it was more consistent. Alas. I really appreciate your read and thoughtful comment. I’m very honored by the RL add. Thank you very much. H🌷

Totally agree H 🌷its been said and done many times ovah, ha writers block is deep, eeek! 😳
Hang in there sweetie
Jackie xoxox ♥️

Dear J,

Thank you always for your lovely support. I guess I can keep reinventing all my woes using different words. Or better yet, different languages. I think I’ll try one in pig Latin 😄xx
H🌷

Lmao!
Sometimes you just have to listen as poetry cannot be forced 😑 i find collecting words and reading helps to generate imagery thus creating poetry. Although I will confess some but not all of my best poetry comes forth when i have a few sips of brandy lol
You are one of the best writers i know, however you don’t allow yourself the credit.
Hugs you good woman
