Fandango’s response to Jim Adams’s Thursday Inspiration prompt used the above picture, and it punched me in the gut. That inspired me to immediately post the following poem, which I did not write today but did write yesterday. I am much more than moderately sad but am actually doing better than the last few days. Sharing with DVerse OLN this week.
Did you truly love me, Or did you just love How I made you feel? I found out through tears That I truly love you, Irrespective of your answer. I am a broken shell Missing the sounds Of the ocean

In so sorry. I didn’t mean for my post to trigger such bad, sad feeling in you.

Your poetry flows out so smoothly, unless I misread what you wrote about being “moderately sad” as a way to match Fandango’s prompt.

Evocative and relatable. The last three lines are excellent expressions of the wounded and grieving soul. 🙏
