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.

Cabin Fever Because of Snow, Sleet, and Freezing Rain That Turned to Icy Roads
What Is Cabin Fever? The short answer is that cabin fever is restlessness from being in a confined area. Cabin fever is the distressing irritability or restlessness experienced when a person or group is stuck at an isolated location or in confined quarters for an extended time. Research shows that prolonged cold, gray skies, and being stuck indoors can trigger mood shifts similar to “winter blues.”

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.
