Don't you mean "is there no start to your talents?"
Wow a Schnauzer hating harpy to contend with as well? Well we all have our shit to deal with but my guess is your shit is more real than hers, but her world is obviously a worse place than many of us.
Don't let it get you down, maybe yelling back equally crazy will do the trick and of course talk to yourself in a very loud voice, works for me. Seriously though just hang on in there, I think I'm lucky in the resilience stakes and I feel for the guys here who find it so hard to get along after their loved one has gone. Yet I still feel I am very fragile so far.
Your "MOR" tastes are good and I confess to liking all the acts you mentioned. (Don't tell my anarchist friends though)
Keep strong and look after those little dogs...
Interestingly I had a morning out with 'the lady' again, she came along to a fireplace shop to help me with the more technical aspects. The guy was totally bonkers and she kept bursting out laughing as he frantically waved his arms about trying to explain the intricacies of why he really needed to rebuild my flat and charge me loads of money. (I used to work as a builder and his talk was 95% bullshit) so we decided to go for coffee upon which the ladies neighbour rang and her mum had locked herself out of her house and we had to return to the Village they live in. So a good morning all round, I'll do the blasted stove myself that way it will be done right..err maybe. So a late coffee and very odd morning yet typically Italian!
Good to hear from Darkhorse, after a while, but sorry to hear that times are still tough. Love your poem and hope that it helped you in some way. Not sure if you have seen my "Acknowledging Grief" which I posted separately under my post around the first anniversary in December 2019. I have copied and pasted it below just in case you have not. Apologies for the repetition if you have....
I have not written lately,; I think they call it writers block lol but watch this space!!
I also have not been on this site lately. I recently joined WAY but not really into it at the moment hence back here, to familiarity and noticed updates on your poems thread.
A quick hello to Limbo . Hope you are keeping well x
And to the new, sorry you find yourself here. You made me laugh mcc!
With lots of love,
Dutsie Xx
Acknowledging Grief
I feel numb and disbelief, this moment shall pass I feel broken and isolated from the world, this moment shall pass I feel exhausted and lost in this world, this moment shall pass I feel a depth of sadness and despair I have never known before, this moment shall pass I feel empty and do not know how to fill this void, this moment will pass
It is hard to let go of some moments that have passed They don't exist anymore but are painfully etched in our memories My love for what once was makes my heart beat unpredictably now This moment too shall pass
For I have faith in the moments to come They will breathe life anew Looking through my moist eyes right now, I smile with a thought That time will bring "a season of faith's perfection" When a fragrant breeze will blow again A bud will blossom again The feeling of love will dominate once more and the fear will subside I await the day my heart sings once again, grateful for what once was and the moment right now
Good to hear from you. What a poem. I'm waiting for all those things to pass too. In the meanwhile, I'm as busy as a bee packing up and getting ready to leave my little bubble of an island. Will be spending a few weeks in France then going to one of the overseas territories where I got a teaching job.
And you, how have you been doing? You should continue writing.
