I in turn only just found and read your comment, and I think it's perfect timing. <br /><br />The bullying is long ago for me, as is being a somewhat odd, misfit young woman. You end up finding friends for whom you're not so 'different' after all, and you find the understanding. There are other visionaries, poets and artists out there. <br /><br />In his song Chelsea Hotel, Leonard Cohen writes of Janis Joplin saying to him: 'Well, never mind. We are ugly, but we have the music.' In the same way, we little fat kids who got bullied grew up to be poets. And we didn't stay fat, and we keep finding friends. I wouldn't swap for anyone else's life! <br /><br />I'm glad you appreciate the poem. :)<br /><br />Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313195297275159246.post-24438509599607308132013-07-10T19:24:03.028+10:002013-07-10T19:24:03.028+10:00Thanks, Suzy. :)Thanks, Suzy. :)Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313195297275159246.post-82116623717623563252013-07-08T22:57:03.395+10:002013-07-08T22:57:03.395+10:00..ah, I applaud your courage to write on such subj.....ah, I applaud your courage to write on such subject Rosemary... no wonder it got the attention it deserved... if i hadn't read the title i would thought also that you were writing about a venus fly trap... brilliantlly dirty truth! i am afraid to tackle a subject / theme like that as i don't think i am of legal standing yet to do such... ha... smiles... this is def beyond the kind of appetite i would have thought to read thru poets united... you win us def a real element of surprise... smiles...<br /><br />..i've read your response re: my comment recently to Mary's post... thanks a lot... it is always good to know there is someone on the other side of the globe who shared almost what you've exactly been through... def figure is no big deal for me today but for a 7 year old lad it does really matter big back then... eversince i always knew i am way different from the rest in the way i think... i can imagine things beyond the normal understanding of many... at some point i took it as an advantage... sometimes, i wondered if it's a curse to be like me because i always get misunderstood as people around me just didn't get what i am saying / writing most of the time the way i get it clearly... & i always adjust because at the end of the day i am still human who still needs a friend... smiles...<br /><br />...my apology for coming here only now... ye know sometimes i tend to forget that i still have business yet undone... or maybe, today is just the right time to read this with a right mood... smiles...kelvin s.m.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02591849636814413110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313195297275159246.post-19768244744157813742013-07-06T18:43:21.308+10:002013-07-06T18:43:21.308+10:00Oh, and I wasn't a crone in those days - I was...Oh, and I wasn't a crone in those days - I was 35!!!Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313195297275159246.post-7570240623429707642013-07-06T18:42:30.301+10:002013-07-06T18:42:30.301+10:00Apart from being very desirous, and frustrated, at...Apart from being very desirous, and frustrated, at the time, I was also fed up with the inaccurate way men wrote about women's sexuality.Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313195297275159246.post-66439446534051945302013-07-06T18:40:06.530+10:002013-07-06T18:40:06.530+10:00No, you're spot on!
