Inspire Me - I need some sunshine and cheering up

It has been a long year of illness and other things going on in my life. Just when I think it is over another wave of water follows to drown me.

I am tired, and grumpy and feeling quite blue....

I want poetry to inspire, to let me see the silver lining of the clouds, I could go on but you know what I mean. You don't need to know the ins and outs to write for me.... just let inspiration fill you.

Make me laugh if you want to, but it will take some work. I love imagery but am not so keen on rhyme or dirty pretty

So lift me to the heavens and remind me what life without drama feels like

The usual rules apply I'm not going to list them all, use your common sense.

Get to it folks

    Go rent Prascilla Queen of the Desert. It always cures me of the "I need some sunshine blues" because there are a lot of sunny outdoor scenes in it. Soak it up through osmosis.

    Hope you feel better

    However, you brightened my day with the Silver

    Thank you so much my dear

    More importantly than any trophy, you made my day when you added that I made you smile. That was my real inspiration for creating this write.
    Love you,
