Poems.

[darkshadow]

I have already contributed 2 or 3 of my own poems here on HealthUnlocked. I don't now know how to find them now but I did receive some good feedback on them. I have written many poems in my time. I would love to post them here .Have you found a way to do this? This is a beach near where I live.

To find your old poems you already posted, click on your profile picture. That should take you to your profile. Then click on your "Posts." Your past poems & others' comments should be there. 💟

As far as posting new poems - maybe just type them into a post? If you have poems in a word document on your computer, you could copy them from there and paste them into a post here.

Did you take the photo? It's beautiful.

[darkshadow in reply to LovelySnow]

Yes, I took the photo one chilly day a few years ago when out walking with my little dog, Chica.

[LovelySnow in reply to darkshadow]

It's lovely.

Would love to read some of your poems.

[darkshadow in reply to bonkers65]

I'll try to post them --not yet sure where.

[darkshadow in reply to darkshadow]

I've made a mess of posting the poem,"Against the Tide". How can I remove the faulty lines?

[LovelySnow in reply to darkshadow]

I don't see any faulty lines, but maybe I'm not seeing what you see. I'm not sure what you want to fix about it...

[darkshadow in reply to LovelySnow]

Half of the poem was posted and then the whole poem. I needto remove the first half as it doesn't make sense on its own and is repeated in the correct place later.

[LovelySnow in reply to darkshadow]

Sorry for the delayed relpy.

You could delete the post and try again... I don't know the poem so can't be much help.

I am so so sorry I sent a reply to this picture last night but I cannot see it on here. Not to good with technology!

I said I would love to walk our dogs together on this beautiful beach free from pain and mental issues to laugh and talk be young and dance and chase the darkshadows away.

I also love your poem Only Silence and I know it means something personal to you. For me it is like waiting for answers that never come, hope you dont mind me interpreting it this way and it made me cry that someone else is so tortured.

Thank you again for your reply last night.

I have just read your newest listed poems I hope the blank page will be filled again soon as these poems are so soulful. What a gift you have I hope you find a little comfort from posting them as they have helped me and others on here.

Hope Chica is well take care.

I'm struggling with computer technology too.It was started after our time.I've mucked up the poem, "Against the Tide" and I can't see the way to put it right. The whole poem is rewritten below--I think--but the first post of it makes no sense because the beginning is missing.

Yes, the poem,"Only Silence" was written in some anguish as no matter how I try I cannot get the connection many say they get to Spirit. This has made me into a sceptic with no hope of a reunion after physical death. I reject all religion as there are too many unanswered questions in my mind regarding its claims and too many reasons why it is just a comfort to those who believe because they want themselves to be "saved"". Deep sadness invades my mind every single day. How I wish it were otherwise but my rational brain always wins. I am what one would call a spiritual person--if there is such a thing--but not a religious one.

I truly value you responses as I feel we may be kindred spirits.I have longed for one for a very long time. Not all friends are that as I have found. All good things to you.Myra.

Darkshadow, you are an amazing poet. I actually mean a "great" poet. It is a shame your work has not been formally recognised and published as it is of such depth and beauty I can barely even describe how I feel when I read it.

I have copied and kept them all to cherish.

I have edited and posted up four of your poems on here. You actually asked me to do this on the other forum but I can see that you've posted up on here too so I've taken the liberty of putting them on here and on the other mental health forum on health unlocked that you post on, as you will get a wider audience on here as well.

I hope you like them though I know your mental state is not good at the moment. I couldn't copy your exact picture that you posted but I hope you are happy with the way I have presented them. Still trying xxx
