Notes About The Poem

Too many people use medication to shield their emotions, this is fine. It's only those who abuse them that find themselves with more emotional problems than they started with..lol

Senryu-An Emotional Rescue

emotions run wild 
no need for medication... 
a glass of wine works

Perhaps writing all emotions down. I know this helps, sometimes better than anything else. Congratulations Charlie, on this win. ~ Brandy

I agree with you, Charles. The mind needs distraction, otherwise mountains take the place of molehills! Very well projected ideas. Congrats on your fine win. Regards // paul

A hot toddy will usually do the trick. Hope you feel better, Tom ~Charlie
