Time Falls Cold.
I woke up with this in my head. It’s personal, think emotion rather than nature.
The day blinks dark…
Winter sets in long before

to travel cold about the past.
I wonder if spring will
hold the key, but I fear
it will be too late.
Quite a sense of foreboding in this, Sue.

Then Don’s ex girlfriend messaged me, saying she had been talking to the therapist generally and I was mentioned so she contacted me too. And it went from there. Plus I’ve spoken online… Read more »
Such personal words are beyond critique, just to say I’m so pleased with the way you have taken to poetry. You express your feelings so well now Sue. We all need critique from time to time, it’s pleasing that you, like me, can be so receptive.
