Wintertime rhyme

Post by Doreen Peri » January 28th, 2024, 2:15 pm

Wintertime rhyme.
.
Wind gust. Alka-Seltzer Plus.
Brokenhearted. Dearly departed.
Home alone. Chilled to the bone.
Coffee with cream. Hot steam.
Getting by. Best try.
Freezing, sneezing,
Intermittent cry.

Nice...captures a moment...or two.....to say this is where I'm at....has a lyrical feel
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

It’s a terrible poem. Bad writing. Just rhyming bc I don’t know what else to do with myself. I miss being able to write. I wrote incessantly for years. Now I can’t write anything. Stupid rhyming . Terrible writing.

I miss my sister, Denise.

I miss Judih.

Death is so stupid. It’s horrible, ugly, painful. It makes no sense.

One after the other we lose people. Over and over and over.

maybe it was stupid to you but for me it was good to read. not just saying that. I am glad you wrote it. Since judih was murdered I have been at a loss for words. My dearest friends are my siblings. I used to pray I would die before them because I could not bear the thought of losing them. Sorry for this hodge podge stream of thought. Please write more poetry. I need to read it.

Loving our exchanges
It’s why I’m(we’re?)here
The poems don’t say it all
It’s us
Missing something taken
Her words
Connect us
Judah made me(us) better
There is no empty space
