Loneliness

Traveling for days and days, Road! Long and open, Miles and miles of dry lifeless land, Scorching sun beating down, Intense flaming blistering heat, Nothingness parched and shrivelled, Dehydrated and thirsty, Water was all to think of, Tired and sleepy, Looking for somewhere to camp, Sun going down, Next town ahead, Great! People! Life, Sign posted! This way, This looks like a good place to rest, Hello! Anybody there! Ring bell! Seems very strange! Very dusty! Oh! No! Ghost Town, Loneliness! Fear! 23/07/2016 Missed competition

A very beautiful written poem, I really like it though, it s true that their are many peoples who felt like that they are lonely and who needed friend, but we shouldn t be afraid becuase God knows best and He must have choosen someone for us, we just have to wait and it will come however I m new on this site and would really appreciate if you could find time to read my poems and give your honest reviews about them

Hello Wendy Enjoyed your poem 'Loneliness'. Lots of images that I can relate to. Reminded me of being lost in Spain and driving round and round. Then came across a village but no one around, like it had been abandoned. Take care. Tony xx

That would really put some fear into anyone Wendy. When we used to travel by car we always carried extra water, for the car and for us. The high desert shares little shelter. A great write! Too bad you missed the contest. They seem to close so quickly, that often happens to me too. ; )

Hi Wendy, You definitely took the reader for a ride with this write. And the final destination was a subtle surprise. I enjoyed your take on the theme. Best of luck in the contest.-7:-) Alexis
