this poem is inspired by the 2007 “veins”:

ai image of desperate and lonely woman

scared and desperate, I cling onto you
I learned early, solitude is a curse
and being alone is the worst thing
that can happen to a woman

  1. I love it when your poems feel so timely, specifically speaking the flack my son’s wife is getting about the way she is raising their son, my grandson……I think and I know she is doing an excellent job. She tries to understand what’s causing her son to cry and that’s beautiful to me, that effort to find out as opposed to just putting the kid in his bedroom and letting him cry it out.
