Feeding the ducks

A beautiful, snapshot, Coral, and so very poignant.

It's so good to have you posting again. We've missed you;-)

Tina

A terribly sad tale Coral but nice to see you again.
Pia

Yes we have missed you a lot - I really like the three line set up of this and the understatement at the end makes this so much more sad, but a beautiful poem also. Well deserved cherries. :-)

Thank you so much Tina, Pia and Fatboy for your welcome comments and also for missing me - that means a great deal to me.

There have been a few times recently when I wondered if I ever would be back but at last inspiration struck and it feels good to be here again with you all.

So much reading to catch up on - bit by bit.

Thanks also to the cherrypickers for making my day, if not my week.

This is a beautiful poem, Coral. As Tina said - a great little snapshot. So heartfelt and one that really plays with the emotions of the reader. Well done on the cherry!

Hello seashore.

"...the satiated ducks turn tail in disgust..."

No pleasing some, penguins are more appreciative.

ps
I have recently enrolled in a water colour/drawing course.
I may need your advice?

Many thanks ScoZen - good luck with the watercolours (the hardest medium)!

Thank you too blighters, I really appreciate your feedback.

Seashore, that is a moving, simply expressive poem. Thank goodness you have come back here to write again.

Lovely to have your feedback Judy-elaine....and welcome.

This is a perfect poem. As Tina so rightly said, beautiful and poignant. Please keep on writing. You do it so well (even though you think you don't!)

Thanks so much for the vote of confidence OTT!

Just beautiful, Coral. Really got to me this one did, very much enjoyed :)

Thanks so much Rachel xx

This is a wonderful piece of writing coral. Like
everyone else has said, it's good to have you back
writing. You always manage to keep your writing so
real and I thought there was some tenderness in this
poem, I loved the part about the baby ducklings
at the end. You certainly painted a picture with
words.

Congratulations on the cherries, well deserved.

Jenny.

Bless you for your kind words as usual Jenny. x

Very well done, you are brilliant at sidways writing hitting hardest. Very brave to write it, too

Really appreciate your words, phase2 and thanks for `getting' this one. Sometimes it's quite cathartic writing about these life events. It's with me always and every so often I have to acknowledge it.

Great analogies and poignancy, seashore. You make it look easy, but I’m sure that’s not the case. Excellent!

Thanks for reading and leaving such flattering feedback sue - no, not easy at all, I only wish it was!
