**A Poem for Today, Sunday, October 28, 2007**

Leaving Leaving isn’t just physical It’s also mental, emotional you can leave someone emotionally long before your feet go Separations are so hard First a little strand here Then a little one there They seem so small They hardly matter But they do Suddenly you are faced with this huge cable and it’s dragging you out the door even if you have no place to go.

4. My dear Southpawkicker...

This just showed up in me this morning, before breakfast... I think it's been percolating for a while in my head... I'm sorry that it made you a little sad, sweetie... :hug:

5. Cool poem!

Applicable to every ones' life in one way or another. Even down to leaving home for the first day ever of school. Every human has felt this seperation and the way it is not complete all at once. Bits and pieces stretch and remain connected after the initial break, seemingly pulling you back at times.

14. Yeah, I get those too...

I've been doing "morning pages" every day, writing a brain dump into a journal, at least 3 pages every morning. Seems to open up my brain to writing... :hi: RL

15. Yup....use it or loose it...

You have more discipline than I do... But I know when I feel like writing, I sit down and do it! And that does pay off, big time... My brain enjoys the exercise... :hug:

21. Sure thing. I admire writers who can use figurative language so effortlessly...

I'm far too literal for my own liking.
