I have lost three loves and my life is grief, denial fills my thoughts- shock overwhelms; my life floats in meaningless dark, dark realms, there is no grace in awful disbelief. Anger has no limits to painful pain, I feel so abandoned and deserted; my anchor gone and fear is alerted, I bargain with what if's 'till I feel strain. Empty, empty and my grief is so deep, I just want to withdraw in my sorrow; will there ever be another 'morrow, I must- all these bits and pieces just sweep. Must accept what is for I cannot shift; the three cancelled dance classes sent adrift. ___________________________ February 13, 2019 Poetry/Canzone/The Five Stages of My Grief Copyright Protected, ID 19- All Rights Reserved.

Math class, I would be thrilled if it were cancelled but, dance...well, your fun has been snipped for the day. Beautifully penned.

Jack, thanks for visiting, yeah it really is upsetting about the dance classes, and my cutie is snoring right now, just too early for the little princess to wake up !

I am sorry my friend, I know this one word does not help much, loss comes to all of us but gain is just around the corner, keep your chin held high and keep dancing!

Bobby, thanks for visiting, I know what you mean and I believe everything happens for a reason, I have been thinking of putting that time into my photography !

Hi Friends, I have had three regular and long time dance classes cancelled this month permanently from my dance schedule and I am in grief, there is no other way to explain the pain I am feeling for these have been some of my emotional anchors. I am in the process of seeking out replacements but it is so depressing! Why do things have to change? (Well, I still have four others, so life is not completely over!) ~
