Who is this person?
What a mess
I am so proud of her
She did whatever it took
To leave her perfect shell
And make art
She was mostly kind along the way
Imperfect but
Kind and
Prolific.
Now it is time
To clean up
Nadine inhales & exhales words & images from current vantage point in Zone of Emptiness, France. Thank you for reading. ❤︎
Who is this person?
She spoke
And wrote
Her heart and mind.
She laughed
And cried
With others and herself.
And now
Returning to the muddle
Realisation dawns…
The best is yet to come!

Were I a poet
I would write beautiful verse
in praise of your humility

One of the reasons that the haiku form appeals to me is that I am much too verbose and in love with my own prose, to ever be much of a poet. Still, you are writing from your gut, and that is “real” poetry. Dr. Bob

Well I disagree on the part about your over-verbosity and not being much of a poet… your prose or what I know of it seems just the right length, and if I remember right I saw some mad and gorgeous poetry in some paintings you made on another site you once shared, in a link somewhere (can’t find it now for the life of me)… as for your words on my poetry, this really means a lot to me, thank you dr. b

Thank you, I might re-name my tulpa, Nadine….! I like to be appreciated, but then who doesn’t. I once participated with friends in so political writing on Facebook, and Wow, people who don’t appreciate, do so, so rudely. Blogging is definitely more rewarding. Thanks for being you. Dr. Bob

‘Leave her perfect shell

What a line! And so true as well. Feels like turning our soft underbellies to the world every time we publish something!

Thanks for the vote of solidarity, Matthew, for me it certainly almost always does feel like that! I thought it would get easier by now but the only thing that got easier was actually hitting the “Publish” button! I still have a lot of learning to do — mostly involving not hitting the publish button quite so much. ;))
