This kinda reminds me of how you feel when you’re having a panic attack. Great poem!

Is it okay to use your poem for my English poetry comparison?

Why did you decide to write this poem? Basically, what was the message or theme?

  I wrote this poem to describe the horror you feel when something terrible happens and all you want to do is wake up from the nightmare that your life has suddenly became.
  Lots of love,
  Patty

It would be good if great writing didn’t have to come from such awful experiences.

    It will look extremely delicate and will smell sweet, mind you! 😀 “No plucking the ‘Just Patty’ flower!”

Ha! You know how I feel about those nightmares – awake and/or asleep! 🙂 You captured the fear that is a living, breathing entity very well!

This reminds me of a dream I once had of my first husband. I was afraid to sleep with him for three days. Good job of bringing out the fear.

Reminds me of a dream I once had of my first husband. Scared hell out of me and I couldn’t sleep in the room with him for three days afterwards. Good poem. {shiver}

Really great poem Patty, there is no fear greater than that which we create in our own minds. I loved it. 🙂

    It’s the way you made them in the picture. Normally, they’re not scary.
  - petitemagique on May 28, 2013 at 1:29 am said:
    
    Well, thank you Charles! 🙂
    I am glad. Can’t have people running away in panic when I look at them! (they can do that AFTER I turned into a werewolf) 😉
  - Charles Yallowitz on May 28, 2013 at 1:40 am said:
    
    Real werewolf or Twilight werewolf? One is scary and one can be handled with a squeaky chew toy or old shoe.
  - petitemagique on May 28, 2013 at 9:29 am said:
    
    Omg! You got a squeaky chew toy for me? 🙂 🙂 🙂
    O… so now you know… 😉
  - Charles Yallowitz on May 28, 2013 at 2:00 pm said:
    
    That I do. Here’s the chew toy. It’s shaped like a vampire bat.

    Yes!!!! 🙂
    Lol

Those eyes are scary!! The poem sounds like a severe panic attack on steroids! I hope that this is just you writing…not something you are experiencing. Please let me know you are alright, Patty! ♥

  Lol! Those are my eyes Kira! 🙂
  Yes, this is one of my panic attacks actually. I had one yesterday. Just love it when I wake up from a nightmare to slip into a panic attack afterwards. 😦
  But don’t worry! I am fine now! Just something I have to go through every now and then. I am used to it.

    I always like how you combine your pics with your poems.
    
    Ugh…I hate hate panic attacks! They can be scary as all get out! And you did a great job of describing one btw!
    
    I’m glad you are doing better now. And I’m glad that you write the after effects out of you with your pen as your sword!
  - petitemagique on May 28, 2013 at 1:28 am said:
    
    Thank you Kira! 🙂
    Yes, they are pretty scary. I think I prefer the nightmares actually, if that makes any sense?
    And of course, we will go to battle armed with our pen and our thoughts! (and a few of those unicorns!) 🙂

  - Kira on May 28, 2013 at 1:40 am said:
    
    That does actually make perfect sense. It probably helps that I’ve had both. Loving the unicorns!
  - petitemagique on May 28, 2013 at 9:30 am said:
    
    I’m sorry you’ve got them also 😦
    But we will beat them! ♥
  - Kira on May 28, 2013 at 9:32 am said:
    
    I don’t sleep much because my brain won’t shut up!! Lol and yes we will beat them!! I’ve already come a very long way with both…so that’s good 🙂
  - petitemagique on May 28, 2013 at 9:36 am said:
    
    Yey! 🙂
    I’m working on it too!
    But I don’t sleep much either, I have a really talkative brain also. 😉
  - Kira on May 28, 2013 at 9:37 am said:
    
    Lol…no wonder I liked you right away!!! It’s why I write so much. It’s better to get it out on paper then stuck in brain! 🙂
