Pen of Loneliness

My heart beats for love But the pen’s my loneliness Writing down the words Painful words put on the walls Of my aching heart of love Russell Sivey

I really like this one from you, Russell. Your pen as your loneliness. Keep putting up ones like these. Just loving the tanka form!!

Hi Russell. Thank you for your comment on my most recent poem. Your words are always very kind and inspirational. This is a very sad write, though perfectly written; I hope this isn't influenced by your personal life.. If so, let time heal your wounds, dear poet.

Good example of a tanka, Russell. When you typed in the title, you missed hitting the "e" key after the "n" key. I see however, you spelled the word correctly in the tanka.
