"Bearing Witness" is a creative and well written poem that filled my mind with hope and despair. Hope to be alive, despair from the fear. Well done.

You got it right, NightWriter. But, denial is a good thing in the right doses. We can't walk around with all the shit at the forefront of our minds ALL the time! So, we look at it, then hide it again. A good thing. Thanks so much for your excellent review. Sue

Excellent point Sue! You are so right. I've been there, I think I'm still there, LOL.

Ha! Hey, it's our minds...we get to pick and choose when to and how long to bury something! Or how long to face it and feel it. Then, close the bloody drapes! LOL!!

This seemed really sad to me, Sue.
It is well written and paints a clear picture.
I found nothing that needs correction.

Hi Cheryl, we all have our times of taking a look at certain things that we tuck away. Then feel it for a bit and tuck it away again. Denial is small doses is a good thing. :-)) Thanks so much for your very generous review. Sue

I agree with you. I have things I tuck in like that but it isn't denial. It is hurt in my case. :)

Sue, again, you have written a meaningful and thought provoking work. The imagery is beautiful as is the artwork that you chose. Nice job on this.

You state well those inner feelings that make us human, love the line about denial, our common foe, great little poem that says much.

opening drapes of denial just long enough to get a glimpse of reality and then declaring that is enough and closing them again - great image, my friend. And your artwork just continues to astound me. Brooke

You nailed it, Brooke. "just long enough", then we know we're ok. So glad you love the artwork I select. It's the best part of posting for me! HA! Best to you, Sue

Reality ought to have a toggle switch so you can turn it off occasionally. Very well written with good imagery and descriptive scheme.

Sue, where do you get all the great artwork? Is this one yours? Your poem is a daring bit of self-revelation, and I would consider it part of your exercise in "Pulling back the drapes."

So glad you perceived it as my own exercise in 'pulling back the drapes', pertaining to my work. Coming from you, it's an awesome compliment! Thanks so much. Sue :-))

Keeping it real is key sometimes. Although we don't wish to see, sometimes it is best to know. I thought this message was cleverly thought out and put into words. Something you do continuously well.
