As I Write
I feel you creep -
twining sinews.
Sly tendrils spreadto clasp fresh meat.
Good days
I pass dreamingof your leaving.
Bad days beg
unanswerable questions,
all beginning why!
Relentless fiend,
may I request a break.
Progression halted for a spell.
Good days stall
inevitability with laughter.Bad days suck
hope; it's a bad day
till forever ends.

Hi Bee
Hi Bee
I was wondering how you are getting on - and this poem says it all. Good days, bad days, some hope, lots of fear. I'm still keeping on with the praying.

Bee, my daughter always kept
Bee, my daughter always kept these few lines scrawled on a piece of paper, pinned above her bed.
Give me a draught of laughter before the day begins
Whatever follows after, it's the happy heart that wins.
Your poem reminded me of this. Thank you

Hello Bee,
Hello Bee,
The format of this poem adds to its strength. For me, a true poet says a lot in a few well chosen words. You are a true poet.
