Kicking Up Dust

This stopped me in my tracks. Such a powerful write. This is excellent.

Aww thanks. I'm so glad you like it.

Lockets are minature portmanteaus that can carry a lot of mistakes,

I carried this locket for way too long.

oh what a great poem!very clever penning

Thank you

this is so sad but liberating for you

I'm tired of being sad. It's time to focus on the liberation.

Oh, that's really good. You go girl! :)

Thanks so much. :)

Dear M,

I found this poem very liberating. For me the sense of relief in taking hold and believing in oneself was wonderful. Well said and well penned.

Thank you so much. I'm pleased you liked it.

Could almost see the wind in your hair, great write.

Thank you

Had a “Thelma and Louise” (1991 movie) feel to it without the crime spree!

I like the theme. Get out of Dodge and look forward to the new adventure / romance the road takes you.  The trust thing is a tough one, when betrayed by someone close we become cautious which can also lead to missed opportunities.

I really enjoyed the poem – the escape to freedom is appealing.

Welcome to DUP. I look forward to reading more of your work.

I'm working on my trust issues. I'm just not ready for anything yet, so I'm focusing on me.

I love the tone of freedom and independence!

Thank you. I've decided to stop being sad and enjoy my freedom.

Without freedom, the mind is a prison.

Very true

Beautiful and intense way of describing you've had enough and you are determined to go on with your life and close that entire book and move on to the next.

Thank you :)
