    Curse

     Salvia Plath went inside of her gas oven
    Virginia Woolf sank into river bottom
    pregnant girl swallowed sleeping pills of thirty-seven
    young bride jumped off Mohauk Mountain
    betrayed wife set fire on her own body
    lost lover headed on to incoming train......

    Why emotions curse humans to death?
    Is really easier to die than to live?

    I was saved
    by poet's mission
    curse broken
    I am living!
    still living,
    continue living to tell stories of legends

    Never go back
    never go back

    Poetry is emotions in words that don't cause the same pains as actions... and leave scars but they are less vissible than those gotton by actions.. as a result of ones no thinking just doing the wrong thing.... good to see you survived actions and release by words not repeat the actions that hurt you or do more harm by your actions.....

    Thanks, wagus, yes, poetry saves life everyday. I must stay alive to keep writing. You are an angel. Sincerely, Susan

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
