I agree with Judy. I find that the shape of the poem makes me feel that the
writer is getting more and more tired, that each word is a hardship and that
makes the feeling of depression itself come out even stronger. And autumn
fog was lovely...

PS For some reason this poem reminded me of the prairies - the flat, the
blue - maybe I'm just homesick?

This is a jewel, Sharon, even its shape. I'd not thought it possible to
create an elegant beauty in describing what is known as depression. Thank
God that cognitive therapy has put the lie to depression's powerful illogic.
Best,
Judy
