If I write one more poem about
a love that was not mutual,
I may retire my pen,
hang up my papers,
find a way to
be a poet
without
you.

12 Life Lessons The Golden Girls Taught Us
Picture it: Miami, 1985. Four middle-aged actresses agree to play the characters of Blanche, Rose, Dorothy, and Sophia who share a home in a TV sitcom called The Golden Girls, unaware at the time of the kind of impact the show would leave on its adoring fans. The show aired until 1992, ending with a one-season spinoff called Golden Palace. The seven years we were graced with The Golden Girls on our television screens made its mark. More than three decades after Susan Harris’ imagination sparked the creation of these iconic characters, fans from around the world still watch reruns of The Golden Girls, spend time discussing the show on social media in Facebook groups like The Golden Girls Fanatics, carry Sophia-inspired handbags and relate to the episodes in their daily lives.

Beautiful .
That last bit- find a way to be a poet without you- is so layered! Excellent entry!
Gosh, it was beautiful.
The wonderful thing about the journey of loving oneself is there will be plenty to write about 😉. Love the vulnerability in this work. Great job. 👏
Your words carry a profound sense of reflection and introspection, grappling with the idea of creativity and its ebb and flow. The imagery you use to describe the journey of your pen, from its vibrant beginnings to the contemplative desire for rest, resonates with a universal experience among creators.
What a beautiful poem.
GREAT poem. I found my way around "him" and while some of my poems maybe silly, he isn't included. Great thought.
