Sorry Tater it's under the poetry section. I didn't feel comfortable just putting it up but wanted to tell you all about it.

In response to: For those of you who have read and commented on what I have wrote in the past and if you have time please read my new poem it is sad but as most of my writing has hope in it too. Am not trying to be a downer but it's my voice to all of you and if anyone connects with anything in it cool.
Thanks for your time.

Okay here it is.
All around you witness
people's lives
stripped to their souls
their anguish showing through
as they have courage to carry on
most that is
except for those souls
who take their own release from this existence
and end it on their own
Stuck in the middle am I of old and young
my share of sorrows and yes of course
great joy
on Earth this place I call home
looking at the young so full of energy
full of struggle to understand
when life sometimes
hits them square in the eyes
A mother of three
a friend of my sister Angie
going about making her life
and loving her family
went for a checkup
found out she had cancer
and died that night
I am not trying to get you down
dear people
for there is many wonders in life
and we all have hope for our
tomorrows
waiting to see what's around the bend
what's up ahead it keeps us moving
forward with expectation
hoping we can figure it out
and loving our lives
what incredible strength we have to endure this life
Time will take its toll on me
maiden, mother and crone
as the papery skin and hunch of my shoulders
the slowness of my gait
and lack of hearing
rends the physical curtain
in two
That is if I am that lucky to become
old and frail lol
As the body nears it's end
It's as if something new will take hold
the core essence will shine
I will be stripped bare to my
soul

This is for Garret he died this last week at age 21 of an accidental gunshot wound. This is the only way I can deal with this stuff is to write it and put it out there.

It shows both sadness and hope within the poem. You brought us from the despair of the lost to your hope of the future. I like it!

Here's to Garret, May he swing through the clouds and dance on the sunlight rays !
That is tragic Dawn, very sorry to hear that .
It seems alot of heart wrenching things are happening lately.
Makes one wonder if we're going though a planet-alignment mess.
Goos wishes for his family.

Thanks all yes I have noticed the sadness all around but then again we or I start wondering if I am just focusing on the negative. The fact that we can feel for people so deeply that we haven't met that the loss ripples out and touches our humanity and reminds us all of our mortality. In that we remember the preciousness of our lives therein lies the hope.

A poem is anything that is written. The difference between prose and poetry is a fine line based on rhythm, tonality, and imagery. Just because it has stanza's doesn't make it poetry, and if its a very powerful, evocative paragraph, its not prose, its poetry in a prose costume.
Some poems do tell stories. Some of them very sad. I'm sorry to hear about your loss, Dawn.

Thanks.

I'm sorry for your loss, Dawn. But yes, writing poetry is a good way to deal with your feelings. I liked this poem, it had despair, but also hope. It was a beautiful tribute.
