Just sayin'...

having a little fun scribble after all the heavy stuff

My marriage is over, kids are grown

seen death, addiction, abuse & affliction

no doubt, if not for poetry & Leonard Cohen,

                 I'd be effing bat shyte crazy

There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.

Leonard Cohen

No 'bad review' here Mrs.R, I'd be giggling like a schoolgirl if I were not sitting in my mother's living room...you know I absolutely adore this...I wish I had a quote to counter with but I'm still languishing in what you've offered here...the kind of cool, what more can one say? ;)

[Frieda P]

Oh geez, I would have bet my life on a LC quote from you! ;)

[kublakhan27]

[Frieda P]

This sounds like a "mini mutter" . . . just the weird stuff we say to ourselves, in writing. Yes, I so agree with your summation. Now I feel like writing my own version of this "Ode to Survival"! *smile*

Greatness cannot come through any other name, than Frieda Pickle! We love her! She's cool, sexy, and fabulous. She waxes poetic, and she graces us with her gifts here at WC. I am so tickled to spend an evening, just sitting here all by myself with no one but my computer and her beautiful simple thoughts and cool, bluesy jazz. Thank you, Frieda P!

I like how there's more back story to this poem. Questions can arise from reading this; How old are your kids? What kind of poetry do you like? What has happened in your life to make you write such stories?

You leave it simple and short, and you put voice into it. Not spectacular for publishing, but you're only writing it as prose. Very nice poem to show your personality.

effing crazy, is an effigy to all things this life will deal us. And finishing with the right bower to win the hand in the only way we can conceive

Nice little moment you have created here Frieda P. Aren't we all a little effin bat shyte crazy? I know I am. this was fun to read today.

[stars are far]

after those many years your success will be seen in those kids that are now grown ups and the way they treat life..
that was a great thing to mention, well done

After many years of this tumult called Life, we all have our mind candy that makes it go just a bit sweeter... This is a strangely uplifting piece, Frieda. :)

I feel that way about nachos and So You Think You Can Dance. This made me smile

[Avinash]

Seems like there is brave world is left to explore...looking forward to it because of this piece.
