Hello Mustangpatty1029
What you wrote at the end is to me the very best way to come form Down Under ( great title by the way) is to as you said
which is so true
I will start to feel like my old self,
Able to write stories and rhyme,
No more sitting on the shelf,
Just killing time.

Gert

    Hi;
    this depression has been especially awful. I completely lost my need and want to write. I felt bereft and lonely. But, I'm back. Hopefully, I can write something good this afternoon,

Mustangpatty1029,

Very nicely written. This is a beautiful poem. I liked it very much. It made for an enjoyable read. The descriptive words created wonderful impressions. Very reflective, all thoughts are very well described, understandable and comprehensible.

There was no SPAG. No room for improvement.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Love you,

Oatmeal

Depression is something I'd never had until two years ago, and it hit me so bad I had the urge to end it. I will never underestimate what depression can feel like again. I really feel for you and hope you come through this soon. Big hugs, my friend. xx Sandra xx

This was a very nice poem. Again have no idea about what kind and all that. I like how it rolled. You always write such sweet stories about your dogs. Ii know you deal with other things, do you actually suffer from depression? You know, none of my business. Thanks for sharing
hugs Heidi

Great poem. I think most of us can relate to this, especially being in a similar situation. I also apologise for my lack of reviewing, it has been a very busy week haha.

A most powerful insight into an illness that so many people are victim to. The darkness is well expressed, but the sweet part is it being followed with a hopeful outlook, either through medication or seasonal gifting of sunlight.

Depression is a horrible disorder and it's something I suffer from so I know. My writing helps me from stepping into the black hole (or at the least staying just above water). I do have bright days though, so I guess says something. I liked. Thank you for sharing

It's a great poem of writer's block, something we all face at one time or another. The construction is very traditional, the meter and rhyme scheme measured and upbeat, really, with a hopeful kind of tone. I liked the image of rolling in the clover, that refresh button we all have to push once in a while, to get our creative energies going again. The voice is honest and we feel you working these issues out. estory

    Writer's block comes and goes. Dealt with it many times. Sometimes its great to read something inspirational, something wonderful, to get going again. Many times I go to an art show or listen to a good concert to get some inspiration, get the creative juices flowing again. estory

Well, I do hope this is not true. Depression is terrible to live with.
Funnily enough, the poem I read before this one was also about mental illness.
Thanks for writing about such an important topic.

Hi patty, I did not enjoy the subject because I feel sympathy for your ordeal. I always feel helpless, but I can give support by saying the poem must ring true for so many people. Thanks for sharing,
Hugs, Trisha

    That's scary! How about you just use fee style and describe what you are going through? People need to understand the whole. Spectrum.
