I poured my silly putty
heart out
and got it 'Smashed'
today
standing now
empty handed
with egg on my face
feeling snubbed
dismissed even
pushed away
I laugh at myself
I'll never learn
to temper
my foolish admiration
and for this
faux pas of mine
every time
I think I'm lifted up
I only then find
I've actually been
knocked back down
defeated out of when
and left to scramble for
something deeper in myself
that's sustainable..................

I read your poetry quite often...I enjoy your reads...
Smashed struck me...
first time---shame on them
second time--shame on us
third time--will not happen-no way
enough is enough
You are a great writer...heather...
come to my cite sometime when time
permits...
Oh Heather this is even better...........( no poetry pun here!)
you actually read my poetry or have once upon a time regularly. That is beyond awesome. I'm smiling now till my cheeks hurt. This is surreal. Thanks I read others' work when I find the chance. I'll have to take up reading yours again. I love your less is more approach. I always have. You probably know they closed Afzal's page but I have unverified comments from him apparently those were not affected. I smile whenever I come across them. Anyway, I had to reply to this stunning revalation you made. I was just too pleased and shocked not to! best of everything to you, thanks again! a most happy M.
