Self-Awareness Question: Disappointed

Folks have mentioned an interest in questions and conversations that make them think. So I've decided to offer more of those. This is the current list on self-awareness.

16. When did you last feel disappointed?

Looking at my calendar this morning and realizing that I have non-poetry things scheduled all the rest of this week, a bunch of prompts I want to write, and I'm probably not going to finish them all.  :(

Here ends "Coming in from the Cold: Saturday: Revisiting the Past." I hop you've enjoyed the story.

A note on feedback: While it's not necessary to comment on every post I make, remember that I don't know who reads/likes things if nobody says anything. Particularly on long stories, I've discovered that I get antsy if there's nothing but crickets chirping for several posts. So it helps to give me feedback at least once, even if it's just "I like this" or "This one doesn't grab me." First and last episodes are ideal if you rarely feel inspired to comment in the middle.

I also have a list of favorite photogenic scenes from the whole series for fanartists to consider, partly compiled from audience requests.

Poem: "The Angel of Informed Consent"

This poem came out of the February 4, 2020 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by a prompt from SlytherClaw Teen. It also fills the "Bittersweet - Truth" square in my 2-1-20 card for the Valentines Bingo fest. This poem has been sponsored by librarygeek and SlytherClaw Teen for all LGBTQQIAA folx.

Warning: This poem contains an interpretation of Lucifer which, while plausible in context, diverges from conventional interpretations and may displease readers who are strongly attached to such conventions.
