I am going to take a break from posting poems on PoetrySoup. I will be around, commenting here and there, and welcoming new members.

Little houses deep asleep In beds with down pillows people are in wooden miniature houses dogs are on couches cats are (not in their dedicated sleeping places no they don't) I sleep in far away places in cold beds no duvet fingers clamped in soil Return to me what was taken for granted, this home all that was stolen, return Return to me flowers with butterflies and bees and honey sunlight poems From little houses fast asleep birds fly spread their wings and lift on wind fill the sky a dark cloud for blind eyes sombre screams to deaf ears So many words misunderstood *** July 27, 2017 Copyright © Darren White

Darren, first you and then Jan and I heard rumors of others leaving.WHAT is going ON? I really hope it's a short break you are taking and that you will visit me at least a little. I really enjoy you and your writing, Darren. Please never say goodbye. By the way, I think this poem is wonderful and also so sad. Deep and metaphorical.

I am saddened that you are going to be less active on soup but unfortunately I feel exactly the same Darren, the sunshine has gone from it in so many ways and also the lack of reads and comments does not help. Your final stanza is oh so true:-(Keep in touch:-) hugs Jan xx
