Family arguments

 



She said but didn’t say
then she said and didn’t say,
then they all joined in the fray.

 



When the smoke had cleared
and everyone was hurting
No-one said or didn’t say,
not speaking,
all hurting.

hmm just thought of the discriptive for that

Placating ! All parties need to be willing to work at fixing that. I believe it starts with sitting down face to face, suspending judgement and saying what you truly feel. Usually one party feels like they are not liked. OK enough of therapy - good luck !

Why we are poets

or at least one of the major reasons I am. I'm often told that if you give me a pen I can tell you my world, but expect me to speak and hear silence. Communication ... it's a long word for a way to screw everything up if you're not careful. Best, Ronda
