Hide yourself and sit and cry
you had no time to say goodbye
priorities were always there
now there's no one left to care
it seemed like a perfect morning
then disaster without warning
try to think of all that's been
looking through an endless stream
of photographs you thought were trash
dust to dust and ash to ash.
The speaker says all this so ruthlessly and unmitigatingly as well...which is all part of the poem's force. Strong poem. Warm regards and a score of 10 from Gina.
Too bad we don't know what we have until we lose it. Then if we could just go back and do it a better way..........Always let people know how you feel so you never regret the things you didn't say. Regards, Linda
Touching little ditty. And thanks for your kind comment on my poem. Best wishes, Gina.
the other comments u recieved just took the words out of my mouth.. i read sum of your other poems.. and i like your writing style.. it shows that you are an educated writer.. with deep thoguhts and emotions.. withthis poem in particular.. i commend you for it as a whole.. it shares almost a story.. at the same time it is not very long.. as others have said it shows how a person missed their chance.. and now weeps.. and mourns for another.. to undo the nothing done you could say.. just keep writing.. keep self expressing.. keep doing and being you: -) *debbie*
Powerful. Subject-wise, mood, rhymes - all perfect. Could identify with this theme too easily, I'm afraid. 10. -chuck
