    Default A Thread To Remind Me--Never, Never Again!

    Below is a partial list of my poems at my home poetry site.

    As one can se there is a gap of three months shown..
    Between these two listings-- between 10-22-2017 and 1-23-2018...
    No I did not take break during that span of time.
    What happened was a major depression hit me and that coupled with
    some criticism at my home poetry site--added to by a group forming to
    denounce my work and organize to get others to join them finally bore
    fruit. What they wanted, I went into a rage that night of 1-22-2018
    and started deleting my poems from the site -intending to delete them all.
    I stopped after a time, when down to the date 7-27-2017
    I deleted about 60/70 poems before that rage left me and I thought- hell
    this is what they want! Now to today, I found another poets collaboration
    poem-- her collaborator was me. It had back then received Poem of the Day honors.
    And yes, it was one of those dozens of poems I had deleted. Now below the list
    shown I am pasting that poem. As a reminder to never let others ever get to me like
    that again. And in that time was the period we were dealing with our mother dying..-Tyr

    The poem....and the comments made about it....
    I have no recollection of the other poems I deleted but I suspect that many are posted somewhere here at this site
    -- although sadly not all. Back then I was averaging composing about 18 to 25 poems a month.
    A reminder of the level of rage that I once could not control.
    And my deep regret at my having once destroyed what means so damn much to me.......
    A reminder of just how massively destructive rage can become. -Tyr

    **********************************
    You Foolishly Once Thought You Had It Bad: A Collaboration

    When tons of doom filled nights fall on your head,
    hot embers glow and fires burn unabated,
    you recall her last breath and wish you were dead.
    In a poem's sad lines you've been castrated.
    From the heavens a voice thunders dire threats
    about losses and breakfasts consumed without eggs.
    Fumbling about, looking to hedge your bets,
    you drink your cold coffee, down to burnt dregs.

    On waking you find dawn's hard hammer fell
    last night's burns are reminders of strife.
    You stumble and look up from the pits of Hell,
    recounting the reasons why you lost your wife.
    Your clock chimes out vulgar curses at you
    and your house bids you leave by peals at noon.
    You think of the ancient, wicked dreams, too,
    as night falls with its wretched lucent moon.

    You dream of hungry tigers eating your boots.
    Your house is perched atop two adjoining trees.
    A hunter fires; but it's not a tiger he shoots.
    Your second wife cuts off your legs at the knees.
    With life's blood flowing from your severed veins
    your heart bemoans that you married once more.
    By morning you were free from nightmare's pains
    but horrid memories linger behind closed doors.

    What vast burdens you bear in fear of sleep
    and hollows in your mind fill quickly with dread.
    When your clock strikes twelve, I hear you weep,
    " Odious anguish! I wish I were dead."
    Shadows dance on your walls in candle light.
    Dark images of her body pressed close to you,
    waltzing in your arms on a moonlit night
    but she vanishes when dawn's rays break through.

    Which sort of dream scars your mind with more grief?
    The ones in which you're butchered; burned by fire,
    or when daylight steals her away like a furtive thief?
    Will your penance release you from the leeching mire...
    the terror you encounter each night as you lie abed?
    Foolishly, you once thought love claimed your heart.
    Therein lies the angst of what you most dread...
    the vexing memories in dreams that tear you apart.

    Co-Written with Robert Lindley based on the original
    verses he offered in the open challenge on his blog.

    Yes. I too reached that level but due to my memory loss issues, I forgot it.. I had to relearn it.
    And that relearning cost me dearly, imho..
    So I post a reminder-- NEVER AGAIN!--Tyr
