A Ballad To Loneliness Poem by Krupa ...

A Ballad To Loneliness



Loneliness is
A child spinning a top
On an abandoned sidewalk.

Loneliness is
A rose petal that fell on
A rock.

Loneliness is
The sun...
Don’t you think it's lonely?

Or the moon maybe?
Don't you think?
It’s lonely too?

But spare me the epitomes
Of loneliness,
For if I were the sun
Or the child, the moon or the rose petal

Loneliness would be
A top spinning by the hand,
The sun shining for the world,
The moon glowing for the night,
And a rose petal
Falling for
The
Ground...

Now, is this loneliness?

Very imaginative....simply great and the metaphor even greater. The images were woven very gently. A 10. Best wishes
