End of Songs

Another dead statistic dawns today, Contempt dissolved foundations love astray. Malicious memories of miscarried mirth, Repetitious resolving rends rebirth. Too far, too strange, oh we have now become. Decisions bleeding passions cold and numb. My frozen frigid feelings fade to black Behold the barracuda's bitter back. Oblique sidewalks a house no longer home. Neglect’s hand opened doors for needs to roam. Bent and broken, beautiful bygone heart Past promises play the party-line part. Divided assets fighting custodies New boxes cardboard tombs of memories. Separations and somber songs subside Choice-less children and contemptible chides. Petitioned courts and mediation pleas Sustaining into absolute decrees. Formerly favored family so forlorn. Forever festers feeble foolishness. ---------------------------------------------------- A collaboration with Catie Lindsey. Iambic Pentameter & Alliteration.

Rob, I was checking out the feature here called "who's online" and saw your name showed with about 35 others. I think many of the rest of us have that function turned off since my name did not appear at all! ARe you really here right now?

A serious poem lightened by use of poetic-centred language. Best wishes, Julia
