Image result for the space hubbell

She__wearing a shroud of depression Left each visitor with gloomy feelings Which they then carried away in succession In all their life, never having such dealings She was withdrawn, grim, and gloomy Born with a melancholy personality Then her mother died leaving her life roomy For the pit of depression to swallow her in totality Wistful thinking could not draw her into a good mood Nor any action the staff had performed so far Each word she said was totally rude Then someone came up with the bazaar A trip to the space station could do the trick Out where her life would come into perspective Where she could see earth and life click Just what was needed to be a mood corrective All in all I must say, life has trouble If on earth you cannot win, space has a Hubbell Just for fun/ silly/ nonsensical Date written: 05/08/23 Contest: Eight Word Challenge Sponsor: Emile Pinet Words used in order used: shroud, depression, gloomy, feelings, withdrawn, grim, gloomy, melancholy, depression,wistful

Anne-Lise, I agree. I would not want to visit the moon or mars or any other place out in space except for Heaven in the third heaven where I plan on living someday. Thanks for the visit. Sara

I've met a few people in my life who I wished would go to the space station and stay there. As I've always said... if you intend to make a hell on Earth... please leave. Now they have somewhere to go. Wonderful poem my friend. Have a great day.

Why, thank you, David. Yes, we all have had this problem of wanting for someone to go somewhere and just leave us alone for a while. Sara

You have used the words in the most appropriate way. Depression is a tough and sad mental state which needs corrective measures. These days more and more people fall into depression. The ending is humorous !

Valsa, Yes, true depression is horrible state in which to find oneself..I can understand why there is so much depression but there is always an answer to help bring the person out and the right med or meds in combination to help the person to reach the right level of sanity. Thanks for dropping by . Sara

Sara, I thoroughly enjoyed your take on the theme of this contest! I thought it a great use of the words and the "perspective" you created with the trip to space was spot on! Good Luck and Happy Wednesday!!

Quite fancy sending a few people up to the space station. In saying that, how far in space can you actually send people to. If only, if only.

Well, Paul. Isn't it that very rich guy, Elon Musk, trying to get space trips perfected and then someone has already taken two trips out there but they are just up there and right back. If the rich and famous keep on working on it, I guess it will get perfected so anyone who has enough money can take a trip and come back, maybe? Thanks for your visit. Your comments made my day.
