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.

Damian was the one that stood out right away. Interesting, I don’t think I’ve seen a puzzle as a poem before.
Nice work.-

Thank you. I just wanted to have some fun with finding the writers in a puzzle.

Read MoreIntimacy left the bedroom, drifted quietly down the street. Wanting only human closeness, with no intent to cheat. It wandered past the neighbours, took a shortcut through the park. Noticed couples leaning inwards, who had not lost their spark. It walked backed twenty paces, sat beside a nameless...

Thanks Damian…..watch out for those Gnomes.

I love the idea of this, the imagery. The whole gnome part almost, but not quite, adds a whimsy to it. Yet the despair overcomes that brief slide towards “not so bad”. The ending is perfect. The whole write is great stuff.
