What an amazing and eye-catching presentation and very clever use of the Gogohka freestyle form of Japanese poetry.
I am in awe of your talent and feel privileged to read your poetry.
Thank you for sharing with such finesse and flair.
Blessings

Feelings caught on the fringe of faith, never actually moving forward. Just waiting. So sad. This is a touching and poignant piece that tugs at the heart. Beautiful presentation. I enjoyed it.

Hola Marival,
Me alegra mucho volverte a leer después de tanto tiempo.
This poem is as beautiful as everything you write.
And I wish your quote was true, maybe it is to a certain extent.
Sorry, I'm not feeling very happy at the moment, but it will pass.
Feliz Navidad.

    Que paso? Let me know if I can help, I'm a good listener and I know everything about depression or just sadness in general. Many people feel blue during the holidays.

    Thank you very much for your exceptional six stars review.

    Feliz aņo nuevo!

    Thanks, Marival. I became a grandma for the first time on 21st. My daughter-in-law is being lovely as usual, but I don't know what's got into my son. He doesn't want us near the baby. I want to think it's because the delivery was quite traumatic and ... well, it seems today he was more relaxed.
    Anyway, Annie is perfect and things will get better, I'm sure. I'll keep you posted.
    Muchos besos.

    My daughter and her husband were very protective and sensitive. She got mad at me all the time, but only in those first few weeks. Now I take care of my grandson full time. I love him. Abracitos

    The first days were the worst (2 days really).
    They're still very protective of Annie, but now we see her often and my son doesn't get nervous when I hold her any more.
    Nice to read you again.

Well, that guy is a jerk and there's no way this young lady should wait for have anything to do with him. She's much better than that. Thank you for sharing this wonderful presentation with us.

That's so sad. I really liked the description of "on the fringe of faith
n a sea of love" as the love seems boundless at the time but the faith is tenuous because the narrator knows that one side of the couple could betray at anytime. She knows that from experience.

    Thank you, big sister. How was your Christmas day? I had a good one. Atticus has a lot of toys that he will get tired of after a few days. I got him art supplies, I know he will use them
reply by lyenochka on 27-Dec-2023
    How fun! I know you'll teach Atticus all about how to enjoy expressing himself with art!
    Our Christmas Eve was super busy and so comparatively, Christmas was quiet.

It's not you. That has such a double edge. It's not you that is the problem. It's not you that I love. Sad words to hear. Especially if you can't imagine a life without that person. Sad but common . Gretchen
