to starve the unfathomable
despair.

    It reads like a spell and I love it. Also, what Debra and Cressida said. May the bites be yummy and effective.

    The strength in your poem overwhelms, I love poetry that speaks volumes with few words. Wishing you an epic 50th on the 27th! Also, improving health for your loved ones.

      Aw, thanks Helen. Both my husband and Darling Youngest are doing much better now that they've been on the anti-viral meds. I think the cough might linger a bit, but at least most of the other symptoms have faded away.

    Oh girl, I hope you or anyone you know does not have despair that deep, for most poetic thoughts come from within, I think. Even with a prompt. Be well. Blessings on this Earth Day.

      I can't say that there haven't been some very low points in the last year, but I'm still standing, so that counts for something. :)

    We had a small delight that our daughter dropped off, then texted us about it. It was a lemon cupcake which we promptly ate.

      That sounds yummy! One of my nieces has a killer lemon square recipe.

    Your poem reads like an affirmation; an act of saying YES to writing, every day. Simply beautiful.
