Another poem
Hi. I wrote another poem and wanted to share. I would love feedback or criticism. If you would like to read my last poem about steplife I have a first and second draft in my recent blogs. Thanks for reading. I'm enjoying being an author. time to get to work on that novel that I know many of you would love!!
Lies
Untruth. Dishonesty. Omission. Denial. Minimizing.
Distorted facts drift out of you so smoothly, sharply disturbing my soul.
Straight through me like a dagger.
Deception strikes me like a boulder.
Knocked out for days.
I try to forget the deceitful words you spoke.
The bruises and cuts linger.
Some that have never quite healed.
Others healed to be replaced by fresh wounds.
Could I ever forgive your unrepentant betrayals?
Your words unclear, evasive, concealing the truth.

Great, hard hitting, well
Great, hard hitting, well done, keep writing! When my first marriage was coming to an end, after a catastrophic mental breakdown that put me in the psych ward, I attended a poetry writing class and continued writing it for about 4 yrs until after I met DH. It was incredibly therapeutic and some of it was quite good, even! I hope you plan to write that novel! ;-)
I was invited to a writer's
I was invited to a writer's group in March and 2 days before the first meeting Covid shut down!! It's about an hour away from me so I'm actually looking in to something closer to home. Also my sis in law used to be part of this group and the friend of a friend who invited me. I don't know if I could share in front of him knowing he knows my sis in law and other friends. It takes away from the privacy. I really like writing but writing a novel is difficult.
