You are ALWAYS so, so kind!!! And, now, when I finally have my meds updated, I RUSH to go read your poems I’ve had on the back-burner until I can appreciate them and comment the best, and HP is DOWN for everyone, and with a very ominous message, one that is usually reserved for when a website’s core files have all been deleted, soooo, did Eliot really pull the plug with no notice, as he said he would if the experiment of two months to see if it could make enough money to pay the bills or not was completely? Well, the two months ended to the very day and now the website is gone… I don’t think he was joking around!! Lol. But we have here, but I don’t have your poems you recommended, that short list, to read, and I REALLY want to read them, and comment really fully on them, the size of a critique but much nicer, saying only the good things!! So if you have the here, or can share them here as well, that would be AWESOME!!! But in the meantime, I have two that came to me in my dreams last night to post, so that’s a good thing for me at least. I hope you have all your HP poems backed up, just in case… or to do so if the site comes back up, because I’ve a feeling the day the site NEVER comes back up is a comin’!!!
And thank you again, I love your comments, they always feel so sincere, and “with a tender touch”, I could not have asked for anything more than that in writing of my late mom, thank you m8. Her granddaughter, Angelika-Darlene, wore L’air du temps as well, only on really special occasions as being a nun she didn’t want to be extravagant or an Égoïste, as if she ever could have been with her humble heart, so this was for her as well (PLUS her mama, Monika, wore L’air du temps as well because she smelled it on my mama, loved it, and my mom gave her a BIG Nina Ricci biggest-bottle you could get of L’air du temps that Christmas of 1988 as Kiki’s first Christmas present from anyone in Canada, even opening it before my gift to her. Oh, what memories poetry can bring back to us, huh/?!?

As I appreciate you, so much! And this one was one of those written because I just HAD to find a place to put the emotion. My sister and I were lifelong best friends, but we had a falling out over money owed about a year and a half ago. I was shot in the leg, and pretty messed up, bed-ridden for all of September with a lot of time to think.
I resolved it in myself to make things right with her no matter what, but then Oct. 6th she suddenly passed away. I had such grief, regret, guilt, if only I’d have called her from the ICU even. But I had this wonderful dream (though the parts with my father were more disturbing), and this just flowed so quickly out of me, one of those ultra-rare occasions where is landed on the page as fast as I could jot it down (I suppose ones like this maybe are pre-written in our subconscious?)
I doubted myself in sharing it, that the religious/spiritual aspects might be off-putting, so almost didn’t post it, plus there are some “inside details” that make parts of it opaque, but I suppose it still works regardless. SO glad you engaged with it, and it read as story to you, it really is just a description of this vivid dream that undid any guilt and made me feel like it was all okay, my sister is still out there, and has forgiven anything of me… a real cathartic write for me, but I guess not so overly personal that others can’t still get something out of it.
Thank you, thank you, you have me writing again without it being such a wrestling with the pen.
