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?
what a lovely Ballad. you rightly ask if you were the top, sun, moon, rose petal, would there be loneliness

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