ms deborah digges

ms. deborah digges ms. deborah digges died today plunged to the earth and they found her that way she took her complex thoughts of simplicity and buried them in the soil of the university i suppose like most who take their own lives we will never know the real cause of her death but when one leaps from a building so high it will certainly take your very last breath ms. digges was a teacher, a poet and an artist she worked at her craft and gave it her all at least up until that very moment when she leapt to her death and died in the fall of course her students were quite perplexed and not one of them had a single clue just that their professor did what she did now they had to do what surviving students do so ms.deborah digges was buried as she died with her body embedded in the ground and all of her students stood and silently cried knowing that’s just how ms. deborah digges was found most thought ms. Digges led a very charmed life when she strolled on the campus it appeared that way and she always smiled and said ‘hello’ but at last it was ‘good-bye’ that ended her day © tolbert february 6, 1950 – april 10, 2009 ms. deborah digges was an american poet and artist

How very sad. When someone jumps from a great height, they seal the deal. You may never know what someone is thinking. Great write, Wayne.

Yes Kim. Unfortunately I have known too many who have taken their lives whether it be by pills or other more violent measures. I wrote about Francesca and will attempt to tastefully write about Richard and Richard (yes, two very different men) Michael and Diane. Diane happened to be my sister. Sorry, I did not intend to go there. Be well, Kim and enjoy your evening. Thanks so much for reading.
