Loneliness Poem by Robert R. Railey
Loneliness
Loneliness
For the majority of us mere mortals, some of the most heart wrenching times that we'll ever have to experience will occur when we are alone: thankfully, though, many of those feelings of loneliness will last for only a short period of time; and yet, we know that those feelings will most likely stay buried somewhere deep in our souls
Though as a rule, we have found that the best way to correct a situation of that nature is for us to focus our attention on helping others; at times, however, that particular remedy can seem to be woefully inadequate
Fortunately, however, some of us have discovered that the answer to our problems seems to lie outside of ourselves; and therefore, we need only to focus our attention on prayer and meditation
Please excuse my ignorance, Robert. To me this reads like a paragraph of prose. What makes this a poem? Some day I hope to understand what poetry is and what it can be. All help is gratefully appreciated.
You are correct. But my way of thinking is that if the great American poet, Walt Whitman can inject prose into his collection of poems, leaves and Grass, then why can't I?

A poem with a high ethical sense, the prosaic form makes it less palatable. Thanks for the nice theme.
