Hi Susan, thanks for your comment. I am glad that it draw you into my emotional moccasins. When I wrote this poem it just sort of happened.. I wrote the word ‘unemployment’ looked at it and the emotions just boiled over onto the paper. It also helped me to understand my feelings when this happened a year ago. Somehow, I just ignored it and kept my head above water. Now I felt lighter. The photo I took last week when walking through the vineyards here in Germany and it seems to just gel with my emotions the time.
