Jean Murray Poet Haibun

Rhymes and Reasons

The reason I started writing rhymes ten years ago
was to express myself in words there were no sentences for.
Poetrysoup and those that make up it's ingredients,
have helped to heal all that was broken, more than any therapist.

because you listened
           with an open minded heart
                       my sorry soul healed

Funom Makama June 29, 2020 at 2:09 PM A huge huge congratulations on your high placement. You deserve it. Jean Murray June 29, 2020 at 4:31 PM FUNOM.....so nice to see you. I remember your enthusiastic praise all those tears ago, when I was still finding my feet. I was very angry then and the words flowed. Now, I'm a placid old lady.... so don't write much.

Andrea Dietrich June 28, 2020 at 3:19 PM Lovely thoughts of what poetry has done for you, and the friendships here too. congrats. Jean Murray June 28, 2020 at 3:27 PM Hello again Andrea, and congratulations on yet another top spot. My muse is like that little gas flame in water heaters these days....waiting for something or someone to turn me on. I'm not even sure if I want that flame to explode again. I hope all is well with you and yours.

Gershon Wolf June 25, 2020 at 1:30 PM So touching,... and just think of all the greenbacks you can now spend elsewhere, Jean! ~ Little Bill Jean Murray June 25, 2020 at 3:14 PM True! As we speak I contemplate a convertible BMW....
