All Comments on 'Sad News'

...that this is not true...

This poem was written when I was awaiting test results. I am fine, I posted this because it felt as if it needed to be written and shared. Perhaps it will touch someone, perhaps not. But rest assured, I'm okay. RH&F

DC:

I'm sure glad for your disclaimer in the comments. It's amazing the emotions that are roused by the written word. I wrote "Ode to Jean" almost 10 years ago and it still gets to me. I read your "Sad News" and it also got to me. Perhaps not to the depth of my poem, but I had 35 years invested in its creation. That having been said, your poem did affect me. Once I read your disclaimer I was able to breath again. The power of words, and DC you are the mistress of the ability to use them forcefully. Thank You. Ronnie W.

Playing catch-up here - read this before there were comments and was suddenly stunned; thanks for your comment, such a relief but still a powerful and forceful read.
