Scarred

you convey a picture with turbulent emotions, also of an immense sadness....more and more things are braking down around us. Do you realize, Jennifer, we all have to start changing the world, find deeper meanings in life, be kinder to our fellow human beings...Your poem has a message!

I very much liked:-
now the sunlight flickers
reflects her back again...
broken babies lie around,
then she hits the floor...
so scarred and broken
one shot but no sound.

Wow, Jenny - whatever happened to that writing block you mentioned?? This is great. It appeals to my dark side (especially prevalent in November).

I totally agree with you in what you said Yutka.
There is a message, but each reader will probably
read a different meaning, so I will leave it as a
mystery as to however you wish to percieve it.

Thankyou for reading and leaving a comment.

Jenny.

Thankyou for reading this poem lavadis, it was much
appreciated and I was intrigued by those lines too.

Thankyou again.

Jenny.

Hi there coral,

it's amazing how beginning to write again, inspired
me to write this poem, it seems like the more we
write, the more inspiration seems to come.

I'm glad that you could get something from this
poem and thankyou so much for reading.

Jenny, this has some really fantastic lines in it, well done!

Thanks for your positive feedback insert, it's
always appreciated.

Jenny.

Agree with Insert Jenny. Have a great weekend. :-)

I can't write sruff like this. Good stuff like this. I thought it was going to be not good when I started reading but I was wrong.

Wow! FB thankyou so much for reading and leaving a
comment and you have a great weekend too.

Jenny.

Hi there scratch, I don't agree you can't write good
stuff, I think your writing is brilliant and I'm
very pleased you liked this poem and for letting me
know.

Thankyou again and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Jenny.

Hi Richard,

I really like that.

I'm pleased you enjoyed reading this and hope you
are well.

Take care.

Jenny.

Hi there cherry pickers,

what a great surprise to turn on to ABC Tales and
find the cherries, thankyou so much, made my day.

Jenny.

Yes very sad Jenn- so well written and you certainly gave me a message as well- there seems to be violence and drama and that we must avoid if we can by being good people and kind to each other if that should work- we only have hope to hang on to.

;)Pia

Thankyou for your comment Pia. People should be kind
to each other this I definitely agree on.

Thankyou again.

Jenny.

Thoughtful little tale you weave here JS

I liked this line

"...the light drifts in through a
window of remembered love..."

Thanks ScoZen,

it's really kind of you to read and thankyou so much
for letting me know your thoughts, always appreciated.

Jenny.

"so scarred and broken, one shot but no sound." I have a strong sense of that Jennifer - like a thrust or pulse. Well done.

Hello Blessing,

it was so kind of you to read this piece. I wanted
the reader to catch their own thoughts as to the
meaning behind this poem. Thankyou for sharing your
feelings and letting me know.

Jenny.

Hi Jenny :) Hope your well :) and as far has I was concerned you never had 'writers block' all your well is brilliant.

I must admitt I love this pieace too,( however I did not get it till after 3 reads,but thats me not you, as I am just getting over a bad flare up.(health)

I first thought it was a girl remembering her late mother at christmas,but if I understand it correctly, at the end, its not quite that?) but as you say its nice if readers interp it their way, still great.

keep smiling
keep writing :))

Hi Trish,

I'm so sorry to hear your health isn't good, I think
that it's horrible when you feel unwell, kind of
brings you down, but I really do hope your health
improves soon.

As you said about the poem at the end, it's not really about any one thing, I just wanted the reader to get what they could out of it.

Thankyou so much for leaving that kind message and
for reading.

Wishes of Good Health to you.

Jenny, I thought this was amazing. I loved the story you told here, and boy was I woken up by the sinister turn it took. You lulled me then hit me between the eyes. Nice one, jenskins. There are two or three really good stanzas in your piece, but I particularly liked your parting shot, if you’ll excuse the pun...

now the sunlight flickers
reflects her back again...
broken babies lie around,
then she hits the floor...
so scarred and broken
one shot but no sound

FAB-U-LOUS, as Craig Revel Horwood might say and many congrats on the cherries too!

Trev

Hi Trev,

thanks for reading this poem and glad you enjoyed it.
Thankyou also for letting me know.

Jenny.

"blood coursing her veins
remembering black leather,
slick...neat and sleek and
sold on that darn crazy beat,"

- I love these lines, Jenny, they role off the tongue and just sound brilliant. Quite a twist at the end there! Much enjoyed and well-deserving of cherries :)

Magic xxx

Thankyou Magic,

your comment really cheered me up and I do
appreciate you letting me know.

Jenny.xxx

Beautiful, Jenny - the stanza Magic picked out was my favourite too, but the whole poem is amazing. Final stanza really blew me away and that final line hit harder than a bullet - many congrats on the cherries this was a pleasure to read. Oh I do love Jenny-poetry :)

Rachel xx
