Pat. Anyone who has experienced depression will connect with your words. The "twisted" speaks to me...we can be our own worst enemy. "The smallest of outside input" says to me you understand the attack that comes almost without warning. Yet the ending is one of strength and hope, which this disease tries so hard to destroy. Thanks for posting. Beachgirl.
I had no idea where the poem was going and was surprised. I like poems that make me think, which this does. I don't think I understand the first verse ("two words"), however. Perhaps my lack of knowledge about theology is the reason; I'm not sure it's any failure on your part! The ending question places some responsibility upon the reader, which I imagine is intended. You have a different kind of talent compared to what I've read so far on this site. Thanks for posting.
Great fun! I'm having a good time picturing who you are. Your poem made me smile, so thanks for that. I forget that poetry doesn't have to be heavy, which much of mine is. I hope you are sharing this with your kids, your grandkids...whoever. I imagine it would be a family treasure.
Really like the unique feel of this. Look forward to seeing other pieces by you. I am new to this forum and looking for the fresh and creative. I doubt I have any real grasp on what you mean, but that isn't what poetry is about for me. It's what it means to me. And I enjoyed it.
