    This is a well written, emotionally intense poem, Svenja! The echo form worked so well for it. Congrats on becoming PoW!

    1. wlknlr.wolkenleer

      Thank you for your kind words! To be choosen as PoW means really a lot. It lets me blushing. ☺️

  9. paeansunplugged

    So intense and raw, Svenja. Sometimes we desperately want to cry but are unable to do so.

    Congratulations on being chosen the POW. So well deserved. ❤️

    1. wlknlr.wolkenleer

      Thank you so much! 🥰
      It is quiet diturbing if you want to let go of emotions and are unable or afraid to do so.
      You taking time to read and comment means a lot!

      1. paeansunplugged

        You are very welcome. 🥰
        You are so right. I’ve been in such a situation and know it too well.
        My pleasure actually though I am usually late in catching up.

    I feel this deep, raw burning… I have been there, felt this… congratulations on well deserved POW

      Thank you so much! I was quiet surprised.

    Most touching piece of writing. And like that precious vase I see posted on IG I hope the mending of your inner vase is on the mend in like fashion.
    This is tremendously lovely my friend. Congratulations. 🎉 my soul sees your soul. My soul embraces it too. Be well

    1. wlknlr.wolkenleer

      Selma, thank you for your kind words. It’s certainly helpful to find words to express what’s going on inside the soul, head and heart. And the knowledge, that there are others out there who can relate helps in an other way.
      And thanks for taking the time to read and comment. This means a lot!

    This feels so raw and intense, Svenja. The repetition amplifies the overwhelming emotions beautifully.

    Much love,
    David

    1. wlknlr.wolkenleer

      Thank you David! And it is certainly a hard subject at the moment. Mourning is a individual process that has no right or wrong but it has all the hard emotions packed together.

        could you please send me an email? I don’t have yours.

        Certainly!

    The echo form works well at showing the depth of the sadness in your poem.

    1. wlknlr.wolkenleer

      🙏 Thank you for taking the time to read and respond.

        My pleasure.

    Bravo! Nicely done!!

    1. wlknlr.wolkenleer

      Thank you!

  16. Violet Lentz

    I feel a sense of despair in these words. Almost as if you did allow yourself to cry, pressure would be relieved. This is a hard form to work with. Bravo!

    1. wlknlr.wolkenleer

      Despair is quiet right. To be able to acknowledge loss and sadness is something I struggle with.

      Thank you for your kind words!
