Thank You Jenna May Have Been Simple But Meant a Lot To Me

Sometimes a day just like any other That began or started carrying forward all of yesterday's woes into yet another Can sometimes just end up availing that sinking feeling in the pit of one's stomach Into something that you haven't felt in so long it comes across as totally foreign And simply all that is one left feeling half ok which at this current point in time may be as good as it possibly gets And it doesn't cost and I am sure giving it leaves neither party with anything lost or at all worse off And what today Jenna gave me may well be the most precious and important gift of all if you indeed like me find yourself flailing and lost And that my friend is someone else's time else's time they are willing to give up and spend with you and engage So thank you Jenna for the pleasure of your company this evening kind support and words of encouragement Because honestly even I didn't realize just how down in fact I actually was Until after speaking with you and I am not to proud to admit i have very little faith and love for life at the moment And as this is my only form and outlet of cathartic expression and release Tonight I find myself in a much better place and feel somewhat at peace So once again thank you Jenna I am much obliged and appreciative indeed For both your kind words of support and your most precious valuable time

I have to let everyone know that I don't know what's going on. I just read a poem, supposedly by Chris Flaherty who says his name is Dick Head. You read and decide for yourselves. Here's the link. https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/bad_news_poem_1531351#gt Let me know what you guys think. I'm so fed up with crap like this happening in the soup. If someone is impersonating him, it's time for admin to step up and this time...DEAL WITH THE REAL CULPRIT!

I‘m clueless, Tania, but I’m at the airport so it’s out of my hands. I don’t want to assume someone would be that desperate for attention.

WTH? I am at a loss for words. What is happening? Chris didn't write this?

He's asleep. I'll let things go. It's not worth the headache.

I think you could use David K's assistance and opinion. I saw that you both had a good relationship with C.F. as I surfed through Chris's poetry. I hope you can clear this up, it's strange to think that we are misinformed. We are here for you~Anaya

You're welcome. It looks like his bad news poem is gone. I don't understand his poem "Funny what a difference 24 hours can make JL."I agree, I think he does need some help.

If that's true, he really needs help. I'm done with all the drama in soup. Thank you for bothering to respond.

Dear Jenna, after reading this poem of the day and then the link you placed, I believe it is the same person. Seems he has some mental health issues. ~ Brandy

One never knows when their words or presence will turn the tide in someone's life. This is reflective of that cliché. Well done JL; well written CF. Subject matter POTD worthy. =;o)

Congratulations on POTD Christopher Flaherty! I am glad you found comfort in our Jenna, she is both spirited and dauntless and will stand by you indeed! I also like your “L M H God Speed R I P” & “Devilishly Stupid Offensive things to say” I think your poetry is just the right temperature of sweet and sassy, please write more of your thoughts down they are deliciously clever!

Hey Jenna! I thought I'd use "Anaya's poetry 2023" and a 10 year old photo! LOL

Congratulations Christopher on a masterclass POTD, one from the heart as indeed all your posts are, not all people realise Jenna is a kind supportive person, but also steadfast and strong, I’m delighted you two have finally met and exchanged comments, I’m also delighted you’re feeling better in yourself after chatting to her, a brilliant tribute poem, you really don’t understand how influential your writing is, but I’ve been telling you that a long time as you know, cheers David

Dear sweet Christopher, your gratitude is so welcomed by me. It was a small thing I did in reading you, and the pleasure of doing so was mine. If my support cheered you today, then I've been the one gifted with this poem of friendship. Big hugs!
