That was incredible!
such is the yo yo of life...this was good stuff....
Cathy..this was amazing, covers all we go thru in life. Cool
I love this for the content, but I also love the sense of flow and the abrupt stops. excellent! r
Whoa! Poetry slam!! xox
OK, maybe a little dazed.
Someone needs a hug.
I enjoyed reading this, but I hope everything is OK with you.
Wow! The cadence of that was amazing! I hope some steam was released and all is well with you.
To leave with grace...what we all should aspire to. Wonderfully done.
This very clever and flows well, Cathy. I like your tags and the future, present, past order.

Add the word, "Amazing" to that list while you're at it.
That was some kind of writing. You can Abide and Decide!
thanks for the ride .r
I want to hear this to music although it already has its special sound. Read it three times. It has a cool rhythm. Creative as anything I have seen with words. Loved every second of it.
Well I'm fazed. This was some good poetry.
puts me in mind of S&G's A SIMPLE DESULTORY PHILIPPIC Thanks! r.
Exceptional Cathy. Just incredible. R.
You and Roget's Thesaurus are my new bestie. :)
I loved this, how it moved and was so succinct. WOW. R
Cathy, I thought this was quite smart but I am reading into it a lot and hope you are okay.
Rated with hugs
Crazed but never hazed.
Snoreville - Can never have too many hugs!

Emma - You are so kind. I am A OK!

Sparking - Yes, all is very well.

Dr. Spudman - Your words made my eyes go buggy big with amazement!

Linda - So sweet. I am good!

ALL of your comments are so thoughtful and spontaneous! Love that about you guys!

Just wrote it, straight from one thought. The result of recent words I heard and the images and feelings evoked.

Just a stream of thought that anyone might be thinking from one time or another.

My deepest thanks to you all for putting a big smile on my face.
Cathy that was excellent! But I'm glad to know you're OK - one could wonder reading through and between these lines!
Well crafted. I'm glad you're okay.
Cathy-Deep down, turned around, lost then found,
not persuaded, unabated, and definitely rated.
We are ok because we choose to be. All bits and pieces of junk collected in our conscious thoughts, experiences and sub-conscious memories. Junk collected by words and deeds throughout one's life and spilled out on the keys. It's all good.

Junk1 - Nice poetic comment!

Thanks all for such caring responses and taking the time to stop by.
Loved the format and meter you chose. As long as your not "dazed and confused". I like how you are "unfazed". This is what life is all about. It's all in how we handle it. You seem to be doing a great job!
Hey, you just give me the name, number and location of whoever does any of these things to YOU and I'll bring out the voodo dolls! We all just want to be seen and loved really. And the best place for me to start with this because it's so not productive to expect others in my life to be doing this 24/7 for me, is for me to just keep loving myself. And for anyone who consistently disregards, see ya later!
Trilogy - Many thanks!

Mare! Call off the dogs - It's all relative to bits and pieces of all our lives and experiences. Just came to me in one big whooosh!
going all Dylan here Cathy!
Tim4change - Thanks, man! I love Dylan! That's one supreme compliment.

Lesh - Did you really just say that?
I have to agree with Mary, you just name the names.
There is no way you or anyone else should feel the feelings you have expressed here in you poem.
This was AWESOME!! I loved..
Fireeyes24 - Sometimes we get "Bit 'o Honey." Other times we get a "bit 'o life." It's all good! Thanks for coming by!
Wonderful. I would love to see it put to music. The flow is fantastic. R-
