Fantastic write, with powerful uplifting message!
Thanks for sharing and b-blessed!

[Willard Wells]

My demon relationship is far more controlled than so many trouble souls. I only wish them to find the power to manage the arena of the mind. Thank you for your kind words and for reviewing my work.

[GreenEyedPoet]

Love the positivity in this!
Keep fighting Willard, never let those demons win. :]

[Willard Wells]

Thank you for reading my work and the demons never win. They are my playthings rather than me being theirs. I play dodge ball with them in the dark hallways of my mind. I only let them come out to play when I have a need. I sometimes sit at the edge of the darkness, but I always keep one foot grounded in the light. Thanks again for taking time to read my work.

[GreenEyedPoet]

Sounds like you have a great hold on them, which is a good thing.

[Willard Wells]

After this review from you and my response I took my words of the demons in the hallways and finally made it a poem. You got me off the dime. Thanks,

[GreenEyedPoet]

That's awesome! :]

I like this, positive and the other side of life. Wonderful job!
If I may add...looks like your doing well with creating the senryu form. They are an enjoyable style.

[Willard Wells]

They are fun. I spent some time reading up on both of the forms I am doing, but even then there is apparently a new acceptance of format variations, so I am getting as close as I can with different views. Thank you so much for taking time to read my work. Very appreciated.

Excellent write. So much writing on this site is dedicated to giving in to these demons. There's nothing wrong with that, there's certainly a place for it in the arts--but is sure as hell refreshing to read such defiance!

[Willard Wells]

I think my objectivity to demons is not if we have them, but whether we give them any real time. I am fortunate that my demons, I kind of play keep away, like the childes game. They are lurking, but I know the passage around and how to move stealthily down the halls and only use the demons as needed. There are many in the world and on here that are so depressed that the light of day is never really seen and the demons are too real.

[Tom McRoberts]

That's probably the healthiest attitude you can take. I find the biggest issue is that people can wind up feeling so alone, as though their struggle cannot be empathised with. It can be very alienating.

[JayceeC]

Maybe we're on the same wavelength today. At least yours end with a bit of light and hope!

[Willard Wells]

Maybe that's the surprise at the end, the shock, but not really a shock. Also they are not all that way today. I stood on both sides of the light today. Thank you as always for words and reviews.

[Benita-Staebell M - KindredPoet]

You're welcome. It's a pleasure.

[Kelly Scheppers]

A strong man with firm convictions...I compliment you, once again!

[Willard Wells]

Thank you for viewing my work. Convictions come easy, the difficult part is hanging on to them.

[mattavelli]

Good one. Your third line has six Syllables.

[Willard Wells]

I thank you. I have gotten in these and little changes and rewrites. This should be fun to repari. LOL

[Lydia Shutter]

Such a positive message here. I liked it. Lydi**

[Willard Wells]

We all have demons in one form or another and many do not realize that is their problem and the only solution is share space but not answers. The Demons will be held down with a smile on my face. Thank you so much for reading my work. New form practice in progress.

[Jimmy Yetts]

Indeed, they will, Willard!--especially, if you have a Friend in high places.
Excellent senryu!

[Willard Wells]

Thank you. I have been working on this form as a fun exercise. I am glad you liked it.
