Backwards

Feet weary walking in reverse retracing finding wisdom by treading through dried muddy footprints blood stained memories lessons relearned forlorn tears cleanse painful yet needed now moving forward feet 7/23/16

Hi Dineen, i am with Connie in the fact i found it too difficult for me. I did try but it was a disaster. This reads excellent Dinnen. I wish you well in the contest. Like Connie, i think your write will do well. I give this one a seven and i fave it also also Dineen. A well thought out piece....Mike.

Thanks a million for such kind comments. I was over thinking this write, and did much better once I heeded Laura's directions. Finally decided to stop trying to perfect it and just write.

This is impressive Dineen! This form was too difficult for me. Your entry should do well in the contest. 7 ; )

Quite kind of you to say Connie, thank very much. I had more than a few starts and stops, over thinking it. Laura's instructions and examples were great, once I focused on those and just started writing the form flowed much better. .
