The first one's not bad for a first draft.SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796785757974247915.post-28522808499591042042010-07-24T18:27:15.832-05:002010-07-24T18:27:15.832-05:00I agree with RBR: This is worrisome.

Better to get it out.<br /><br />You've managed to make yours the raw material for a powerfully emotional poem. Are you at least getting something positive from that? You ought to. It is an excellent piece of writing. And like RBR, I've know these feeling but could never express them as well as you do.<br /><br />This place - where we all are - is sad. But, for all we know, it's all we've got. So are you doing something to address your sadness? To come to grips with it?<br /><br />I sure hope so, my friend.

It is pretty fucking boring in blogland when all the crazies are indulging. <br /><br />Your writing on this topic resonates with me and that makes me sad. I would not wish that on anyone, especially not a friend.RBRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14193497073393160994noreply@blogger.com
