"...and Quiet"

Post by 68degrees » August 28th, 2016, 7:38 pm

My own quietness mimics
the dead

who had nothing more
to say, had no more living to do
and decided to lie down

with the rest of their loves
for eternity

Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.

Made me think. the dead I know are not so quiet ,but I get the feeling of you poemand what you are saying about how you feel at this time, I get that way from time to time when I have been hasseld all I can take.

Nice poem

A little bit of P&Q is good for you

True. Sometimes it seems like the dead shout to me.

Thank you. Been working on "fewer words" on some of my older poems. This is one of those.

Thanks.

A poem like this would be denigrated at AT. The main puckheads are not poets. They are shouters.
