Depression Is

My tears are falling like April showers
dark dull days cloud my vision

Kelly Deschler Date: 12/6/2016 7:45:00 PM 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!

Darren White Date: 12/5/2016 4:25:00 AM I love your little poem Jan. It's as colourless as it is in reality. HUGS Login to Reply 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

Probir Gupta Date: 12/5/2016 4:06:00 AM A nicely worded photo to look at and understand depression ... Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 12/5/2016 4:08:00 AM I think its probably too simple Probir I don't suffer so I have tried my best:-) hugs jan xx

Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 12/5/2016 3:45:00 AM Your poetic ability made it so bright! Excellent dear, Jan! A seven! Login to Reply 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

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
