I\'m running on empty.

Friendship, this really hit me hard. There is such exhaustion in these lines…not just creative exhaustion, but the weariness that comes from feeling constantly measured and judged. I, too, know this weariness. The emotion feels raw and honest throughout. Powerful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Home of the Great South Bay will always be in my heart.

Friendship, this really touched me. There is such a deep sense of love for place woven through every stanza. Even with the sadness of change and distance, what shines through most is the enduring connection to home. Beautifully done, and beautiful photo. I could get lost in it, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Aww, maybe just writers block for a while? But could be something deeper. I dry up at times with writing poems. Write away, as and when you feel a poem coming on. :)

This poem calls raw from the inner soul. It sets forth its message in good rhyme and meter flowing forth as an emptying of the vessel. It is a cry of exhaustion seeing past efforts as useless failures. Yet it so poetically expresses what it says is no longer there. Artists often do not see the value of their works and this is a good one. Very nicely written a fave

Nostalgia for our past and all it held is in this poem. It talks of memories now only that and the desire to return to what no longer exists. A lovely write with a wistful and sad feel. Very nicely written in rhyme and good flow. Well done my friend.

Paul Bell said:
That what good friends do, they\'re there when needed.
I think after loss we tend to compartmentalise things, and it looks like this is what you\'ve done.
Maybe a quick phone call and a catch up is needed.

A wonderful poetic statement, in which almost every line is perceived as aphoristic, best wishes, my fave!

Friendship, what struck me most is the sense of invitation running through this piece. Even when it speaks hard truths, it never feels condemning. The movement from darkness toward light and color gives the poem a hopeful heartbeat. Well written, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Am I a bad friend?
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Friendship, hell no. ❤️ Grief does strange things to memory. Sometimes our minds focus so hard on surviving a moment that entire pieces of it get tucked away for years before resurfacing. Reading this, what struck me wasn\'t a bad friend...it was someone remembering an act of love that mattered enough to come back all these years later. And for what it\'s worth, you rock...No bad friend to be found in you...and so does that picture you paired with this. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

orchidee said:
I suppose we can\'t, or don\'t always think of everything or everyone, when we have our own emotional times and a lot on our own minds.
I can do similar in sometimes only contacting folk in emergencies or needing something of them, though genuine needs.
