No Hugs Today

missing people, exams and friends acting weird...

No hugs today.
-- I am the kitten left 'til last. --
People acting strange.
-- Others stop normality. Fast. --
Missing my girl.
-- My rock. --
Missing my boy.
-- Not my, as I thought. --
Testing me tomorrow.
-- The flames of failure loom high. --
No way to drown these sorrows.
-- For to drown them, I would die. --

You wouldn't die! This is dark and dreary, but well-written. "The flames of failure loom high"...Great line *star* go to the top of the class!!! It's the "Testing me tomorrow" thing that leaves your reader a little confused and wondering. If a relationship needs 'testing' then it's not a relationship! Friends always act strange when a couple separate... here's your *hug* from me for today.Good piece of writing xxx

Hang in there, Girlie! Testing will be over soon... emotions will subside! It created nice poetry, though!

It wont be that bad. Just remeber, one and one only equals 8 when its one set of six buttons and one set of two!!!

Hope the exams went well.
Good capture of frustration, tension and just being generally frazzled.
Nice one.

Best of luck on the test Gillian. My thoughts and hopes are with you. BIG HUG from me. Nice poem, I could feel the anxiety.

This is a deep poem...I am not sure I have unraveled all the nuances yet, and I have read it twice. It is poignant and sad. I long to give the hug not given...

Wonderful piece, Gillian.
