Sinkhole Poem by Bill Cantrell

Sinkhole

Rating: 5.0


Sinkhole

All my poems turn against me
Joining hands, they leave me in shame
Taken to a cliff where they all have agreed
to jump in a bottomless hole with no name

My pen is exhausted and empty
It's the tombstone that no one shall ever again see
I toss it into the watery deep,
along with the poems for abandoning me

Why would they choose to get lost in the deep?

This hole that is leading to who's knowing where?
Starting from scratch is such a long task,
perhaps they are wishing I follow them there

A leap of faith?
A leap of fate?
Inspiration gives,
Inspiration takes

Yes, you are a brilliant poet. You may not write but al least leave here a few poems to be read forever. Please don't expect anything...You should write as and when you feel like writing. I have a lot of respect for your poetry. Stay blessed dear friend!

I get paid more than £145 to £395 per HOUR for working online. I heard about this job 3 months ago and after joining this I have earned easily £23k from this without having online working skills. Simply give it a shot on the accompanying site… Here's what I do__________CASH46.COM
