Here's Your 'Uproar'

Big Sis, we wrote a piece titled "357" and this really makes us think of that piece, except ours was dark. This piece is of strength, of failing but not quitting. We really envy all of the writers on site that can do the short powerful pieces, completed in limited lines. You are truly incredible with this gift of yours Lady, tight work

I know there is strength, and I never quit. For some reason I am able to display the darkness and then sometimes smother it with the light. I think you could do the short pieces. It just takes practice and a desire to do it.

Thank you, Me.

Nothing simple about this, Eerie. The emotional complexity and depth is evident.
Super well written.

Thank you so much kitty.  
And thank you for the RL add as well.

Thank you kindly, Jay.

This one's a thinker. And after thinking about it, I'm of the opinion that success lies in not reacting same as the narrator, but rather biding one's time and using a silencer when the opportunity to get a point across.arises. Sure, it takes more time and planning and effort, but so does cleaning up the mess of a shoot-first-,-ask-questions-later type.

Mine is more of a brain scramble to get my thoughts into some sort of order. Verbal articulation under pressure or extreme emotional distress always makes for a big mess. Sometimes the silence, or well thought out response brings a certain closure to things without a messy clean-up afterward.

Dear E,

I agree with all the above! You are truly incredible with your writing gift. This piece is in the super well written category. And using a silencer plus some plastic on the floors does make cleanup ever so much easier. All the best for this comp and fantastic poem. H🌷

I wish my initial responses were always graced with the plastic. It would make life infinitely easier for me. Thank you, H, for the kind compliment and the RL add.

Powerful (vivid) words with brevity. Nicely done Eerie!
Best of luck in the comp.

Thank you so much, Wally!

(Where is the rest of your material?)

I absolutely love the line about cleaning the walls!   It's deep, progressive thinking at its finest.  It shows us that you "there", living the moment.  Excellent descriptive line.

Keep doing this writing thingie, Eerie.  You belong to it, with us.

Thanks, Styxian. I like that you used the word “progressive” to describe the writing of the piece. I wouldn’t have thought about it that way. I guess I rarely think much about what I write. It’s sort of my therapy, so to know how it’s perceived by others is nice.

I’ve deleted all of my work because I’m leaving DU after NaPo is over. My time here has come to an end, but I have bigger things in the works that demand my attention. Thanks for the support you have given in the short time you’ve been here. It has been very much appreciated.

I'm glad I caught this before you left. Best wishes on your new venture [s] in life

Aw thanks, Naajir. I’m a little sad about leaving, but I know I’m my heart it’s for the best. I’ll miss the interaction with other writers, and I suppose that’s what I’m most sad about.
I hope you have a blessed and fulfilled life! Thank you for your interactions over the years. Much love.

Wow ! ... Great ! ...
That's all I can say, Eerie.

... 😍👍

Thank you, Marks ☺️

You're welcome, Eerie.

Damn hun, this felt like a bullet. I wish you'd stay but understood.

This is a most powerful piece that imperative to current situation. I wish I could read your poetry. May be I can request you personally to read your work. Wish you best. I hope we may cross our path one day.

Sharp read
