I agree about the rawness of this poem, Christine, but I was more taken by the image of someone ‘Climbing over discarded baggage / scattered without thought /and blocking advancement’, which we all do to different degrees, and some more than others. The final lines are just so sad.
This is so very tight and strong… the image of failure in the end so particularly strong.
Thank you Bjorn. I appreciate that very much ☺️
“The emotional scaffolding holding up your life”–brilliant.

Thanks Kim. Like many, I write to heal, so sometimes my poetry can be on the dark side. 😦 Next one will be sunnier I’m sure ☺️💕👍
Beautifully written Christine
Thank you my friend ☺️💕

Oh my heart this is painstakingly deep and honest, Christine! The rules can be a bit hazy sometimes. Thank you so much for writing to the prompt 💖💖
I should have practiced a little more. Some of the other poems were outstanding. Thanks for your kind words Sanaa ☺️❤️
