Letting Go

Author's Notes/Comments: 

An early poem which I rarely read anymore as it feels awkward and juvenile in some ways.

It's accurate of my emotions and writing early on, so I've left it as a mile marker to return to and rejoice in the knowledge I've moved on from here.

Homeward Bound

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A double entendre in the title showing the bounds we acquire within an abusive family situation.

This is based on an experience of returning to old family homes and the deep painful emotions that were brought up by those reminiscences.

Wounded Butterfly

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A vivid memory from my childhood.  As is common with children who grow up with alcholic parents, I came to learn later in life that in many ways I had frozen my development as a defense against a difficult situation.

This poem tries to communicate what that is like.

I placed second in a contest for which there were about 200 poems entered.  

One of my better poems I believe.
