I think writing poetry is a great conduit for expression, dark or otherwise. To be able to articulate how you are feeling helps to diffuse the anxiety. Maybe you could slip in at least one line within the darker poems, that is uplifting? Hope just needs to be released. [I speak from personal experience.] 😀

Congratulations, Stephen. My son, who lives in Morpeth, and is a Chelsea fan, watched the semi-final at the Stadium of Light with some mates, and the final in a pub in Morpeth. He said the pub was half Newcastle and half Sunderland. The Premier Lge ref Michael Oliver was in the pub, too!

You are too kind, John! But thankyou. Not my best work, a bit rushed if I'm honest with you. I admit to struggling with the mud theme - life is getting in the way! I very much appreciate you taking the time to comment and I am humbled by your kindness.😌

Thanks Julie. I don't know why my writing is always dark. I try writing something uplifting but the words don't come. Maybe 'dark' is just my writing style but really want to try and change my style a little, maybe it might lift the clouds.....I keep trying... That's all I can do I suppose ❤️

Well done. I have my own fond memories of receiving a reply to
a poem sent to The Queen Mother following an operation she
had to endure at an advanced age. I have it - along with the poem about the importance of blood donors - suitably framed here in my flat..I am encouraged to post it now with a nod to
your own commendable supportive effort.

Sublime, Ray. It could even convert me to Starbucks (well, perhaps not). Birmingham Bauhaus - I'll have to read up on that.

I've never been to Walsall but a few years ago I posted an anti-Brexit poem on line and was heavily criticised by someone called '52% and proud of Walsall.' The red wall was rising.
