cartoons for the kids
and a culdesac of purpose
a blue March sky melting winter's cover
but it wouldn't matter if it stormed
the street emptied into a pile of dirty snow
like a brownish gray burned-out Dresden
and a guardrail that said "dead end"
blank and pale like my calendar
no dinner dates or rendezvous to stir a batch of passion
only the stale bread staff
chaffed by the wind of losing you
it will come, I suppose,
and you will be gone
leaving me eating my sandwich on break
at the end of time
when on a Saturday without you
nothing mattered anymore
someone would eventually find what's left
of a brown paper bag lunch
close the case to open anew
something that mattered. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 288 [topic] => 36 [informant] => chuckx [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Suicide )

The Anniversary (if it matters)

Thanks Christina. I was hoping someone caught on to the poem. I was thinking it was a little too vague or misunderstood. No one was commenting and I was getting a little worried that those who did read it were either perplexed or demoralized.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
