Broken Wing

I had a broken wing, or so it seemed. My husband treated me so bad. I was so sad. I often thought that I should die. Perhaps if I said goodbye, all would be well. He could live here once again. Perhaps find a new friend, to mother my children. Somehow I pulled through. Then I found you, Poetrysoup. I have opened up my heart. Right from the very start I began to heal. My friends here have listened well. All have been compelled to comfort me. My anger has evaporated. All has dissipated. I am restored. Now my broken wing has healed. I want to tell you how I feel, my Poetrysoup friends. From the bottom of my heart, let me try to make a start to thank you. Such generous people open armed . I am completely disarmed. Thank you all.

Although half a world apart, I have always felt a connection with you Connie. Not least because we both enjoy swimming au naturale. Although I have managed four this summer, I now pity anyone who would chance upon me. I am not the sight for sore eyes I once was.

I'm glad that you have felt fellowship here, Jean. And I hope I am counted among your friends. Congrats. This was a sweet tribute to Soup friends.

Hi Andrea. I was and still am flattered that the number one on any list (until Greg came along) would take the time to read my poems, then always boost my confidence with lovely comments. A true inspiration.

It was just too much too soon Eve. You know the grief of losing a loved one and my mother died in the midst of my personal struggles. My anchor.

Dearest Darren, I hope your literary career reaches the stratosphere. Yet another sorely missed...

Ms, Murray all we have to do is read, your writing is the catharsis, you are among friends that are probably very good sounding boards and listeners and have their own reasons to be contributors to this global psyche, feelings are free to be shared and heard. Love is in every pen at the soup, you only need ask...

Good morning Charlie. I don't know how I missed these responses first time around. So many changes this past year, losing ones we have loved dear. I have come so far since I wrote this, I am treating myself for my big birthday to a divorce.
