I am a licensed therapist, and poetry and painting are my go-to therapies also, Ann.

Yes, I think it is the sheer escapism that does it for me - it just takes me to a other place. Thanks for your visit Caren. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

Such a fine write Ann, showing lovely rhyme and flow too. I can empathise with you as writing poetry has been wonderful therapy too for me giving the opportunity to speak out what emotions lie down deep inside especially help me cope with my stammer when I tell it out in that regard. Have a blessed Easter, Blessinga always, Gordon

Bless you dear Gordon for your lovely comments. Yes poetry can take us to a much happier place when life becomes challenging, although sometimes I want to stay - must be the Piscean in me! Happy Easter to you and yours Gordon, with kindest thoughts Ann xx

I can relate on so many levels Ann, I am sure I would never have got through the toughest 5 years of my life if I hadn't picked up my pen and started writing, keep on spilling the ink! :-) hugs Jan xx
