Hoping you had a better couple of days then when you wrote this pretty poem BF. I know it's a good way to vent emotions, that is what makes me write too. Although I haven't touched poetry in a few years, I still think poetically at times and it helps.
I like the idea of a local writer's group, though I wouldn't have time to give to one, you could probably get a lot out of participating in one, I wish I could but alas I have to devote my time to my son and then my own writing comes next. I am lucky to have found a writing partner online, who understands my work and has offered some awesome ideas I am working on in my novel right now.
