Timmy's Journal - 47. Emi's Challenge Response and Something Funnier and Sunnier

It bears repetition: Emi's Response is a master work. Only a reader utterly and completely numb or pathologically unable to connect could be unmoved by this poem. Funnier and Sunnier is both playful and cute; a perfect scherzo foil for the earlier poem. Kudos and hugs for both of these!

The first one... well, it's a tim poem... and it resonates, though it clobbers too. It should. The words are honest and stark... the pain... the loss... beautifully expressed... kudos
Second one? Muse on vacay... he'll be back, and he'll goose you when you least expect it, so be prepared... you're right... it's sunshiny... cheers, my friend... Gary xo

Poor tim, museless and stuck staring at a blank page. From what I hear you are not the only one to suffer from this fate. Your muse will return from holiday don't fret... I will ignore the irony of complaining about the lack of muse when you have submitted two poems

Of course it goes without saying that the first poem was as open and honest as always. From a purely selfish perspective I like that I get reminded that my youth was pretty darn good. Then when I look at you, I see a strength of character I can only admire.

I am glad and happy that you took the challenge and given this beautiful and heart melting poem. I loved it then and I loved it reading again and again. It gives some vibes every time I read it.

And the second one, as everyone said funny and I can see all of you in it. So as I said before you just didn't see the muse. Or now you have seen it.

They both are lovely poems tim...

Hey tim

Tough choice that first one knowing who you would be missing out on if you'd had the choice of an easier path. I wish you could have had both.

As for the other one, I did read it in the Poet's forum and liked it then too. Subsequently, I've watched an old episode of Bones in which Cindy Lauper guest starred as a psychic. She was pretty normal looking - not like her younger days when I used to listen to her music - but reading #2 has me thinking of her again - fun, flighty, but full of heart and determination.

...yeah, I know, my mind goes weird places..

As always, nicely done

True Reader. Someone asked me if I think about Jeff and that time a lot still. Truth is I don't really. Just the first line made me think of where my youth went. If I had the choice but knew I'd lose Michael, I wouldn't do it. Thanks for reading both of these xoxo

Thank Gary. I don't believe in muses. I know who's a fault if I'm not writing ... and I try not to worry too much. But sometimes I ticks me off! Thanks for reading these... I appreciate it.

I find that complaining i cant write, and writing about it usually works for me. Glad your youth was pretty good..just like it should be. hugz B xo

I don't know at first that is has been written for Jeff. The circumstances may have made him betray you, but from your words I can see that he became an alley to you, when there is no road to continue your journey. A trustworthy guy from darkness. At least the guy who cared about you, even it was so little.

But the pain, the hurt can't be forgotten that easily. And you said you carry the imprints of that life, which made you to not forget it. I know my words are going to hurt you and remind you the pain, I am sorry for that. But what do you have right now is so important to you too. It's time to let them go, I hope you had done it way before in past. We all care about you. 

Thank You for taking the chance as Isabella said. Thank you for giving the chance to Mike. Thank you for believing and sharing everything with us. We love you. That's what matter.

~Emi.
