I finally got back to writing again, and this is the result. A free-verse story told in three acts--a count-down, if you will--about the abusive side of my relationship with my father. Very different in tone than the last one, as I decided to rip the bandaids off some pretty old wounds here ( Read more... )

I am damned near delirious at this point from yet another night of all-too-brief, constantly-interrupted sleep, but I did write a quick poem/story this morning (it seems like a lot of my personal poems even are turning into stories. I still call them poems though because they're written in free-verse, but yeah. Interesting), so I guess my being ( Read more... )

Despite the lack of comments (thus far) on my last piece, and the resulting insecurity & ridiculous angst I'm trying in vain to ignore (three steps forward, two steps back), I continued my writing fest today with another session of poetic venting (this time about the dark side of my relationship with my mentally ill mother).

So far all my poetry has been about my mom, but with today being Father's Day, I decided to finally write one about my dad.

( Let go, let God )

Continuing on with the poetry theme from yesterday, I have another to share with y'all. Some of you may already recognize this at least in part, because I technically started it as a private entry in May of 2012 (two months after my mom died), and I later included excerpts of it in my Year in Review. All this time it's remained a work-in-progress ( Read more... )

I mentioned in my last entry that Jen had suggested I try writing more personal poetry to help me get through this depressive slump, and I did that today (my sister and I had to skip the movie after all, since the kids wanted to come home from their dad's house early. Can't say I blame them). I didn't sit & edit it a thousand times the way I ( Read more... )
