Chris,

*smile* This piece made me smile... I read along and kept expecting a rhyme to pop in or some fine meter -- but no. It seems your plan was to just shake us awake and let us know you (and your wit) were still alive and doing well. I enjoyed!

    Hi Robyn Thanks for your review and I never know what I will come up with but thought I would do an 8.6.10 meter with every 3rd line rhyming must not have worked ,Ha Ha ,never mind it woke up my brain anyway. next time hey
    Hope you are all doing OK where you are. Like everyone we are all trying to stay indoors and keep well . worrying times at the moment and I have taken time off to help with my grands and my Mum who needs some care with houswork and shopping etc. So may have more time to write also

Chris,

I can understand how your feel, my friend. I am praying your muse will return soon. For me the writing takes my mind off of so much, it gives me peace within my mind and spirit. I'm confined to my house because of my immune system, and health issues.

I'm so use to having the grand kids over every weekend, they are missed. Three weeks now in the house, I just continue to pray and write. Stay safe and well my friend.

Lots of love...Portia

Hello, Christine,

How are you? I hope you and your family are doing well. I am okay but also feeling the stress of the virus and quarantine (stay safe at home). I suffered from deep depression for two years and I could not write at all. I am doing much better. Good job with your poem. I can't tell a writer's block. Stay safe.

    Hi Gypsy, Thank you and we are doing OK here in Ballarat trying to go out only when needed. I have taken time off work to help look after my grandkids as my daughter has to work. Depression is awful to cope with and perhaps writing is a relief to express outpr feelings. You stay safe and well my friend Cheers Chrisxx

Thanks to you and your muse for writing and letting us know that you're okay. You're one of the heroes during these difficult times. Please be sure to protect yourself well when you help your patients.

This is where I can understand your apprehension, our kids, well meaning, have told us that we have to go into hibernation, heh heh, bless their hearts. But the gift is always there, just taking a holiday. I do a lot of my reviewing before the sun rises, but it's also when the best ideas come, if I don't rise, with the flash of inspiration, as quick as it comes, it's gone, should have seen me the other, I kept rushing to write something, but so far, nothing today. Heh heh, I tell people if you haven't got something to write about, write about that, and you've done that. Well done Chris, blessings Roy

    Hi Roy How are you all doing in SA Keeping in doors like us here .Only going out for supplies. Have had a lull in writing just havent felt motivated lately. However I should have more time as ai have taken time off work to help look after my grandies for my daughter who has to work. Maybe this is a start but also finding it very expensive to post and promote work here on FS it cost me $39 Aussie dollars to buy $25 FS dollars and they went quick so wont be spending much money and I cant review enough to make enough money to keep my work on pages one or two.
    Stay safe and well Roy and family Cheers Chrisxx

I think you did rather well with this poem. I am so glad your muse won out on this one. I agree it is a trying time for all but your words were both inspirational and reminded us that we are all in this together. Great job.

Hello Chrissy, You are not alone - I, and probably a lot more are feeling just like you. The stress of this awful period in time is starting to get us. I like what you write - opening up your heart reassures others who are feeling just like you. Keep that smile on your face - take care and good wishes to you and yours. Love Dorothy x
