I haven't seen your stuff in my box for a while. I hope you are okay. This is good solid writing. I enjoyed it.
I found several good sites for free pictures Unsplash, Vecteezy, and the motherload, Pinterest. Just nod to them in the author's notes. Karen

You are welcome. Do you know Sandra Stone Mitchell? Her brother Ian died and we are making her a book of poetry and kind thoughts. Pam(respa) began it. Karen
Comment from rama devi
Hi dear Debra,
I love this! Especially the closing aha:
I've figured out what gives me wings,
I'll learn to fly again.
Nice slant rhyming, especially brood and stewed and when and again.
Nice alliteration here:
The best of me has gone astray,
absconded over time.
*optional suggestion: consider a dash instead of comma here:
I didn't feel it happening,
the slow but sure decline.
Very fine medley of T-sounds in this stanza in harmony with alliterated B and N and C:
I was so busy nurturing
and tending to my brood,
I turned a blind-eye to my needs
and calm complacence stewed.
Warm Smiles,
rd

Comment from harmony13
The author's words are thought provoking, descriptive and creative. Thank you for the author's notes - it sound like it will be a great book! I found myself many times getting lost on our journey and how this author defines it so well. The artwork is perfect and compliments the theme and words of this poem. Hi Debra, have a great weekend!...Maria

I wish you the very best with your book. I do hope that when it is published that you will enjoy what you have put together. I have done two books myself. I have many more poems and stories that I could put another Books as well but because of my vision problems, I will not be publishing another book. Patricia.

Comment from Ginda Simpson
This is a wonderful prologue to your book. I am sure as you take this journey of rediscovery, you will find a rich source within to draw from. I am also sure that your writing will resonate with so many of us women who have put our needs aside while we nurtured others. Wishing you every success and blessing along the way.

It sounds as though you are beginning a journey to find yourself again - I think that's wonderful. And I'm so glad you've chosen to share that with us.
This poem is well written and rhymed - I'll plan to follow you so that I might take this journey along with you.
Good luck:-)

I think this is a wonderful start to your book. I also like the idea of prose, diary entries and poetry written in whatever inspires you to record your thoughts and observations.
Wishing you all the best with the project. I know it will be a good one. :)
