How Do I Get To The High Road?

The rotten smell of anger

Hid the scent of reason

Pushed within my boundries

Trapped...At the limit, and overwhelmed

Lashed by my sickened outrage

And spurred by stallion instinct

Threatening to decide the battle for

Supremacy

Intervention of incense

By the day's sense of forgiveness

Saved me

Why can't I....

Dearest Gee

A rant well done. I hope your simmering has cooled. Typo with sickened, missing an e. Fix it later. I dont like to hear that you have been upset, but I wish you well dear one. Your words are powerful and strong and I hope this upset can be eradicated quickly. Be as strong as your words Gee. Love to you all, Lyz. XX

I'm Better Now...

Not all better, but better. This upset will not be settled quickly, but I can deal with it now in a sane manner. Thank you for the kind and gentle words. You are a part of the newie I will post later. You, Seren, My Queen Ann, Morgana, and Dark and Lovely. I was inspired by you all today as I read your works and comments. Can't wait to post! Love ya, ~ Gee

Dear Gee

Sorry it has been a while. I have missed reading lots of late but I will make up for my absence and haunt you all. Lol. I hope this reply finds you more than a bit better and all probs solved. Looking forward to catching up on your newies, the ones I have not got to as yet, and I am sending you best wishes for this year and many more. Love to you and the family, and especially your dear Grandson. He is as proud of you as you are of him. Love from me and mine. Lyz, XX

I thank Neo...

and the people here for my improving poetry, and maybe for the ability to regain the control I needed. It wasn't easy. My step-son Jody was a big factor too, he stepped up to help. I hope you enjoy the poem I am going post a little later. Hugs and love, Gee
