New is good if it’s not a new terror - new house feel pretty great compared to a hobbit hole

The depths of my soul

\"An explosion of emotions flowing like a waterfall plummeting to the depths of my soul\"

Love this line!

Sick to death
Garrett said:

Can really feel the emotions in this piece very inspiring. The ending on the line of title sick to death is an amazing way to tie things up. Raw, honest and heartfelt. I\'m also sick to death! Here\'s too a brighter future Olivia xx

Change, a haiku
L. B. Mek said:

\'Que sera, sera\': indeed..
I like your modern twist on the haiku tradition,
especially the steps of progress in line placement, matching
the realised acceptance of your wording, progressive:
in every way

Sick to death
Brimelow said:

Love the passion Olivia.

\"Sick of Children thinking this is normal
Sick of seeing confusion in their eyes
Sick of them missing out\"

I\'m a teacher of 11-18 year olds, and every day I manage 1200 children wearing masks as they try and live a normal life, including 180+ eyes (but not mouths or noses) staring back at me in my own classroom. They are confused. They are hurting. However, in my experience, they are strong. They are brave. Their mouths may be masked, but their souls are not. They are missing out on some things, but gaining with respect to other things - I don\'t know how their lives will pan out, but I suspect the time spent in darkness will be outweighed by the time spent illuminated.

Sick to death
L. B. Mek said:

but luckily: alive and well
to write such a fine lament of covid\'s collateral debris of consequence..
thanks for sharing,
sometimes simply reading the very words we aren\'t brave enough to state, is enough of a release
gifting us room enough, to endure a little longer..
that\'s what your words represent to me dear poet

Unconditional Love
dusk arising said:

Lovely to have a centre to focus unconditional love isn\'t it. I have a few myself, especially my granddaughters.
The devils can still break your heart though

Brick by brick
dusk arising said:

The building blocks of our character are within the bricks of your words today.
How we build ourselves as we build a future for security and family.
A well built piece of poetry too.

Brick by brick
L. B. Mek said:

\'brick by brick within each laboured breath of hopeful dreams,
we all - strive to achieve our \'goals\', praying - \'they\' too deliver
that salvation of self-worth and belonging,
we ultimately spend our lives: aspiring to realise..\'
a wonderfully insightful depiction of those painstakingly gradual years, spent accumulating our meagre success\' arduous journey of which only we are previewed to,
while other\'s drive-by our sweat-forged \'legacy bricks\', commenting on our \'lucky break\'..
an intriguing take and an engaging topic, accessibly worded
thanks for sharing dear poet and for inspiring my little scribbled reply

March 5th, 2021 05:09

You are there in my thoughts
L. B. Mek said:

what a wonderful write, so accessibly worded, I simply smiled following your poignant musings from line to line and let out a small sigh at the end, thank you for penning such comforting words and choosing to share them,
