What If I Had Nothing To Say
Whereas wherefore what if, how do I start this letter But I don't write anymore so what's the use of thinking Life goes on outside my door and the years are blinking Maybe I should simple enjoy the day And throw this letter away Like I've done
CALLING ALL POETS!
Please add a line. Let it take the poem forwards. Allow it to be as open as possible for the next line that follows. You can add more than one line, but no consecutive additions.

Qld Floods
Our capacity as humans to rise to the challenge of what happens to us ,good or bad never fails to astound me. Of course the sadness here and the depth of scarring of such a tragedy can never be underestimated.For some it will be new beginnings.For others too overwhelming to contemplate. .

Look No More
I'm sitting alone in a store full of books; Why have people turned into crooks? There's lots of people but not with me, Guess I'll have to climb a tree! It's been years since my union failed; Guess I'm too much to be entailed. Too odd I am -ecc
I Think I'll Be There Tonight
I must be on a one way street there's no people to meet I look behind me no one in sight Guess I'm headed to lonelyville I think I'll be there tonight The speed zone is slow and alone Not a stop sign do I see no off road to the left or right
No Love
No love No love For a long long time Nothing to hear To touch my ear A voice of someone kind Like a lost lonely bird starring at the snow With no will to fly As the snowflakes swirl they cling to my eyes No love No love No love for

Loneliness
when relationship folded and left to ones own devices your mind becomes distorted and the edge of despair floats in and memories you had hidden surface and make their way into your mind.

Those Three Little Words
The aging woman sits in her chair It is placed by the window and next to the clock Her image has changed. The color of gray lives on every hair After 3, she watches the children as she sits in her chair and rocks The night was exactly 25 years

Unworthy
My poem is based on the fear of sadness and loneliness. I wrote this poem to state the feelings that every lonely person is feeling. My mood and feeling that day was (how can you say) sad and lonely. This poem is written in true feelings and i hope it inspires those who read it.
The Maze
As the day passes and turns into night I ask myself, do I continue or continue not? What path is best for you, best for me? Or, is it just for you….. Maybe your path is “alone” for now, or maybe it’s “joined” Either way, it must lead somewhere….

Horses and chains
haha it's dark! I usually write what I'm feeling. Hmmm when I read it now...I think that this is what a person would feel like if they kept there emotions bottled up and never stood up to someone. And I'm not sure what else to say about it.
The One for Me
I met him online We connected He believes I hurt him I don’t know how When we spoke, our thoughts coalesced And I knew what he would say before he hit the keys And not ten minutes ago, why did I feel the need to revisit a previous poem
