Balone-Liness Poem by Barry A. Lanier

Balone-Liness

Rating: 5.0


I miss her so much

I still cook meals for two

Always two plate settings

A red rose on her plate

Unless we are talking

Just me and the silence

That surrounds me

I place the dishes in the sink

Lying to myself

'I'll wash them later'

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

I know what you mean cooking meals for someone who was always there, but not still. After my children left I seemed to prepare too much food too. Ah! you have a red rose in this poem too. You painted a sad picture with skill and sensitivity. 10 Karin Anderson
