It is difficult to see the sun shine again when gray clouds keep hanging overhead... Depression affects not just the person, but everyone around them. We've experienced that in my family over the years and it's not an easy thing to overcome... You've expressed that well here in these words and images. Good luck in the contest, Jan!

Thanks Kelly I found it hard to write about this subject and had to stop reading the contest poems I found them quite heartbreaking.:-( hugs Jan xx

Jan Allison
Date: 12/5/2016 11:34:00 AM

I wonder if it is too simple Chris I have seen some very descriptive deep poems ... :-( hugs jan xx

Darren White

I love your little poem Jan. It's as colourless as it is in reality. HUGS

Jan Allison
Date: 12/5/2016 4:29:00 AM

It's tough to write abut it especially when you don't suffer - i don't want to trivialise the condition:-(I am finding it really tough to read the contest entries so have stopped reading them for today:-) hugs jan xx

Jan Allison
Date: 12/5/2016 4:08:00 AM

Jan Allison
Date: 12/5/2016 4:01:00 AM

Thanks Demetrios - I think my poem is probably too simple... but as I don't suffer from depression it's hard to be able to put it into words what it is really like :-) hugs Jan xx

I would have said what you did Doug, I often see that mentioned and had no idea you don't see it when being sponsor...

Doug Vinson
Date: 12/5/2016 4:02:00 AM

Oh, well heck, I'm just a dumb newbie, Jan. Don't mind me. ; ) I didn't know the sponsor doesn't see it.

Jan Allison
Date: 12/5/2016 3:59:00 AM

Thanks Doug!!! All the sponsor sees is the actual poem... but I have removed it:-) hugs Jan xx
