NaPoWriMo 2017 - 2. Days 8 to 14

Oh tim, such wonderful poems!!! I love each of them. My favorite is the on for the 9. of April. But it is a head to head race with the 14.of April.

xoxoxo Lyssa

From beginning to end, I was riveted. That's Why I Cry is an instant classic to me, and April 14 had my eyes watering. But then, you made me want to stand up with you in April 11. Your poem about rewinding time hit me hard, too. The portrait poem was as good as any painting, surely. April 12 made me chuckle, but April 9 made me want to take a retreat to think. This is wonderful writing.

Stunning, all of them... impossible to single one out but I will, not because it's better than any other, but that it deals with the awful and the good at the same time, and that's life in a nutshell. Okay, I'll mention the last two as well... the sentiment... the testament to the one you love, with simple honesty... well, they're beautiful... cheers... Gary....

 Beautiful sentiment throughout! 
 However I'm partial to "That's why I cry " and "Portrait ". Such heartfelt and genuine words!

Thank you Parker. It's been a hard week emotionally.  But things are looking brighter.  My fav are the first and last. I like them both very much. Thanks for reading and your support. xoxo

A very emotional and heart-wrenching selection.  The first poem and the portrait really stood out to me.  I can relate to a lot of the questioning in the poems, since I have been struggling with similar questions myself lately.  Major hugs to you.  I hope next week is better  

Thanks Val. I appreciate your comments and support. I hope it's better next week too .. xoxxoxo hugs

Thanks for your support Lyssa ...  the last is my favourite ... it just says what i feel for Mike and how he makes me feel.

Thanks again xoxxoxo

I can see you struggling, can relate to some, and the last lifted me up. Thanks for sharing, tim.

Thanks hoho! Yeah, shame there is no handbook!  Each of us have to make it through on our own, but if we're lucky we have friends or family to hold us up from time to time.  Thanks for reading and your support, hoho! xoxox

Emotional tim, and expressive..   I was especially moved by That's Why I Cry and the last, When I am alone, that was just so momentous.. 

14 is breathtakingly beautiful...simply, wow... 

and 10 brought me to tears. She was your lioness, and I like to think still is. 

Amazing work

Yeah, you're right AC, she still is ... so much has been going on emotionally...sometimes i wish i had her back.  Michael's mum is amazing, but she's not mine.  But i still can see and hear mine. 

I'm very pleased with 14.  I like it, it works well i think. There are a couple of people who are bright lights in my darkness and that's what they do for me.. 

thanks again AC, for everything.. tim

I agree with AC - 10 and 14 are my favs. 14 was wow a nugget of genius

I liked the repetition poem - that was also a prompt I liked writing for. Your reasons for crying? They should be everyone's. My favourite was the last one. Short but it conveys so much - the feelings of dislocation, depression are painfully clear. As is the cure.
