  Shock and unreliability of the news is highly felt on this

    It was almost two months ago and I’m still in shock. Hugely.

  I can’t even comprehend a loss this magnitude. All I can offer is the humble hope that you will find at least a modicum of peace in the writing.

    Thank you. I hope writing and music will help, eventually. We also managed to fulfil her wishes and donate her organs, which is a real positive. Nobody should have to go through this, though. She was only 17, was much loved, and it’s just horrific.

  Powerfully penned, Ellie. I can’t even imagine my friend, so sorry for your loss. Writing is therapy, may it bring you some sort of relief. Appreciate you.

Rewriting Memories If I had turned around that night and went home I believe I would have ended up dead The guilt I held never left me alone Filling my head with never ending dread If I had turned around that night and gone...

  The would have opens one mind of the possibility of things never coming to pass. This is good at making me think about all the would have’s

Never-Ending Dandelions

A dandelion
is a weed
looking harmless
even beautiful.
Still a weed
overtaking the grass
choking out
all other life.

Memories of you
are dandelions
spreading rapidly
overpowering my mind.
Taking root in all
facets of my brain
weeding my garden always
with every breath I take
you still live in…Read More

  Hi Curly Grace. It’s amazing how someone occupies our minds. There they are, whether we want them there or not. Hopefully, your “Dandelion” is a welcomed “weed”.

    Thank you, Redzone. I wrote this in 2011. So, the “weed” has been pulled out, lol, quite some time ago. Made way for better flowers though…

      Better flowers, that’s the best thing about “weeding”. More colorful too, I’ll bet.

  Brilliantly expressed – I must weed my garden after that, before your poem infests my mind! HJx

      Between writing and marketing my books, I grow-my-own fruit & veg on a plot next to the forest, the village cricket pitch and tennis club. Weeding my plot is just like painting The Forth Bridge (in Scotland , I live in England). As soon as I finish weeding it’s time to start all over again!
