This work has reached the exceptional level

Ellijay it is so good to see you again and with a splendid, signature you, totally authentic and unique free verse.

Beginning with the powerful statement of self-deception that can be linked with our internal inability to "see" with clarity the truth of that which surrounds us. Sometimes soothing stark reality with love or alcohol. I did get a kick out of the cute nurse. lol

Now you can see with visual clarity.

A wonderful verse indeed.

    Then the new left eye tried to take over as the dominant eye. Double vision is scary when driving! Wow, six stars. I appreciate that. Sorry I took so long to reply. Not my best spring ever for writing...

It's so good to see you back, Red. That you wrote such a lovely in six minutes is amazing. I could relate to so much of it, especially the last stanza. Thank you so much for participating. Well done!

This meets the Club Challenge splendidly as you deliver a well constructed Free Verse in the 10 Minutes allotted. I really like your use of imagery throughout - simple, but poignant. Well done and thank you very much for sharing it.

Some writes don't require much time, even less editing.
It can be a shock. To see a clearer is to see a little more.
'Overwhelming' is my foe, too.
Each day I try to make a dent. If I don't, I'll try tomorrow.

I hope you're feeling better.

Peace, Lee

    Pills, years, and plastic lenses have me trying to orient myself in the real world. Thanks for reading my attack on free verse, Lee.

Grips you so that you have to finish it. Dramatic, yet the enjoyable humor within the second stanza. The details for the descriptions you used kept the motor revving. Loved it.
