Today is in the dustpan
except for what we planned.
The visitors brought some sweet delights
and I stopped Godfrey’s angry bites
The taxi driver picked Ants up.
but saw my tears and asked ‘what’s up?’
I told him of our history
and he extended his hand towards me.
The days are getting bittersweet
and breathing sometimes seems a feat.
The happy cancels out the sad,
the sadness cancels out the glad.
If I were to go way back in time
I’d find a more specific rhyme.
My heart is torn away from me
and I just want to be left to be….
a bee
on a flower
in the sunshine
or else a perfect syllable.

Good plain accesible poetry – I like this very much.
Thank you, you lovely person!
Nothing pathetic about that. I rather liked it. I did not know you could write poetry, how did i miss this?
You are doing some really great work here Jules, I’m only sorry that it’s coming from such a painful place.
Gentle hugs to you,
It was an unbearable day – argh. Thanks BB!
I’m so sorry Jules, It’s just so damn not fair.
Anything I as your blogging friend and universal sister can do please just send out an argh. I mean that. Sounds so hollow and cheeky but it’s sincere.
Take care sweetie ~ BB
You live up to your BB CC status +++++++++
Awesome! I think…
Love the poem (despite the sadness it brings).
I think big cyber hugs are in order…..

Thanks V – I think your week hasn’t been so great either but you always rise to the occasion!
not pathetic by any stretch of the imagination
I love “The happy cancels out the sad, the sadness cancels out the glad” — this is a perfect statement of life.
I just wish it could mostly be the first and not the second – argh!
ME TOO!
Damn am I the only one of all the bloggers that can’t write poetry..???? I love it… feel your pain but love the words… damn I am the only one…!!! Hugs girl Hugs…
Your comment is pure poetry!

Nicely expressed.
Thanks!
I thought that was a wonderfully touching poem!
Oh!
Nothing pathetic about this poem – it’s from your heart and soul – we have the right to be upset and we are allowed to cry – but we all want smiles and joy, but life turn on us sometimes and – it can be a bitch, it’s only to bitchy back. Love this poem – can feel how heavy your heart and how tired your soul is.
You have made me realize that I have a tired soul – thanks for that because now I know what my main problem is!
Anyone would have a tired soul in your situation … comes with all the heartache and I’m sure you knew that before I told you so. *smile Your soul need some comfort.
Okay!
i love u 🙂
u2!
Julie,
You may want to check with your doctor and ask for something to take the edge off. I don’t normally condone sedatives, but I know it helped my mom deal better with the day-to-day stuff and with the emotional toll. Just a suggestion. Lots of BIG Texas love! XO
Good idea!
all true poetry is from the heart jules…and none is pathetic. your heart is on this page every day, your words are poetry every day. poetry does not have to rhyme to be appreciated, it has to smile and laugh and cry and get mad. you are a poetess extraordinaire.
xoxo always
U
Beautifully written, but sad…
That was a sad day – not so bad today!
Nothing pathetic about something that is heartfelt.
ok
