Far in the fields of nowhere
Every day he left, black-clad
My dear, his name was Riley Nash

Riley Nash didn't give one care
Each day he sat next to the old ash
Knowing but ignoring those stares
As he sat and talked to his love

Though to you it may seem quite rash,
He wouldn't dare to leave his dove
Nothing could deter him from that ash
The tree which marked where he met her

Long ago Nash first met his love
Whichever story you prefer,
No matter which you are fond of -
His love died many years ago

A story with an ending so sad
"She's not dead!" you could hear him swear -
He who lost her I say is mad,
And dear, his name was Riley Nash. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 150 [topic] => 13 [informant] => midnight_writer [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Interesting, class assignment done well.

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

Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

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. ©
