Dark Wondering

Will it all go? Decades of sociability, dancing to Glenn Miller's music, the funhouse laugh, You have your mother's smile? Temporary lapses Robbing all normal habits of appropriate conversation, of money matters, answering machines, televisions, and stoves. Depression: Recollection of voids, but hair in place, clothes coordinated, disposition- sweet, charm intact. Will it all go? The charisma, the humor, the love? Middle-aged hands still grasping you to stay?

I like the style of your poem, Margo,Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Hi Linda, How kind of you to reach out to me and for your lovely words. Actually I am a retired teacher and a professional actress. I write to express my feelings, thus no great poetic style. I've been writing for years for complete pleasure. I'm currently in rehearsals for a play, but I'd love to read your work. Yes, I would like to compete in one of the contests. I'll have to investigate. I will read yours and respond. Thank you for the warm welcome. I'm lucky to be here. Stay well, Margo
