Chère C.,
In the Netherlands, we believe that everyone has ‘een rugzakje’. A backpack, but the addition of ‘je’ can’t be translated as far as I know. It’s there to indicate that sometimes it’s heavy and sometimes less. If I make any sense.In this rugzakje we all carry things from present and past (mostly).
The thing for others, is to accept other rugzakjes too. I hear what you say, and at the same time I know that there will be more people who will support and embrace you.The days will be getting longer. I hope that more hours of light will strengthen you.
Warm regards, Gus

Well now, this is quite loaded with some serious wording! Not easy I am sure, to carry the rhymes along as you did.
And, it’s a rewarding read, that I enjoyed very much.-

Thank you very much Styxian. I’ve been trying to have more control over that meter and syllable count the pieces flow, so it’s a little more work but I’m liking it so far.

Thanks Damian.
I find myself more immersed in trying to stay with that meter and syllable count with my latest work but I’m enjoying it.

Professionally done, Wally. Each followed the same syllable count and I like the alternating rhyme scheme. And for the meaning, I think the chosen words are just right to convey the yearnings of the heart. 🙂

Thank you Tim. I’ve been working more on that lately. I usually go off script or rhythm, or make the lines longer with internal rhyme added with wordplay. I have several goals for 2026 and hope to up my game.

Wolves are back! Big bad and naughty wolves. The Wolves you are writing about seem to be more seductive and haunting than threatening.
I’m curious to read your take on this topic. -

I am slogging at the library right now reading through the first draft making revisions. About to transcribe it from my notebook to the computer so I can send it to you finally. Ughhhhhh writing is such a process, Elke! Haha 😂

This is almost a cautionary tale. One never knows how life will go when someone you once imagined as a safe haven and one so desired disappears. Well done, Wally.

Very true Tim. Sometimes unrequited or absent love makes for poetry with depth and longing.
Thank you for reading and commenting.
