Array ( [sid] => 55586 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Boy [time] => 2004-07-10 10:01:45 [hometext] => this poem pretty much explains it's self once read...it's kinda like a story and it's not a love poem [bodytext] => alone in a corner
the child sits
tears roll down his face
waiting for his mother to return
and feel her loving kiss
awoken to an empty house
to watch to shadows grow
kids are playing in the street
without the boy they’ll never know.
A sound outside the window
Jumps his heart with joy
He runs as fast as his legs will go
To find a cat knocked over a toy
“I know she’s coming back” he says
“she would never leave”
but the longer he waits
the more hungry he gets
and he finally begins to believe
so he sits back in his corner
and stares back at the door
lay his hungry body down and says
“I will see her never more”

alone in a corner

tears roll down his face
waiting for his mother to return
and feel her loving kiss
awoken to an empty house

A sound outside the window
Jumps his heart with joy
He runs as fast as his legs will go
To find a cat knocked over a toy
“I know she’s coming back” he says
“she would never leave”
but the longer he waits
the more hungry he gets
and he finally begins to believe
so he sits back in his corner
and stares back at the door
lay his hungry body down and says
“I will see her never more”

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. Â©
