An Insidious Illness
sorenbarrett said:
Raw, exposed, an open wound that when it heals bursts open again to drain. A sad illness that is dark and gives its own prognosis as terminal. To cleanse this to the bone may be too painful and beyond the scope of the patient or even the surgeon. A very descriptive write that takes the reader on this dark journey to a nightmare world with them wishing to awaken from the dream. Well done my friend

Dawn is the best time of day.
I hit the roads at dawn, me the birds and trees in harmony.
Then I join the humans at rush hour and bitch.

Depression is a Family Illness
Paul Bell said:
Depression sure is the silent killer in more ways than one.
A lot of people carry that weight, and although there is help, sometimes it\'s getting it.

Sad, dark, with a sense of hopelessness is the disease and so the poem as well. Nicely put together in a very personal manner spoken in the first person. Nicely done Katie

I love the metaphor of outgrowing her gown. Death but a change and we out grow life moving on to a larger size and so too our memories outgrow the past and move on to new growth. A lovely write

Beauty turned ruin and the thoughts that accompany it from splendor to slime. They say we are only as good as the last thing we do and so it is with the river too. A lovely write Katie that carries with it a darkness and depressive air that settles heavy on the heart.
