The silent house it's mouth firm and shut the crying eyes the trails of tears can't beat the mourning sky The silent man locked up inside he tracks the tears counts empty bottles cuts words from yellow newspapers In random order it now says: "evening chaos car prime-minister" He thinks this might become a masterpiece A lamenting poem about absolutely nothing. *** August 18, 2017 Copyright © Darren White

Sad, lonely and . . . whimsical? I like your idea Darren. Random words about absolutely nothing. Here's a challenge, get them to rhyme. Have a great day friend, Dean
