ADIEU

On the east window
A large reflected ball,
Nature's alarm call
In a patch of sky
That meets the horizon
Where swallows circle-
Then say farewell.

Love

Love is a fiend when it flirts or cheats
O how often we faze when fettered by its charm
Verily I`m flattered by its false-speaking tongue
Even now as I bid love farewell.

MY FAREWELL TO CHILDHOOD

Sunrise was rising
among the green mountains
facing the stunning bay
of Naples.


Ah! No thought was more 
painful than my farewell
to childhood that had started
and soon gone!


Short farewell poem by Robert Uy | Go to this short poem

Pleading

Is it right to doubt the veracity
Of how much she cares for me
When bidding me farewell
Comes to her so easily? 
Is it some sort of preview
Of our parting's inevitability? 

Tell me.

Autumn Days

Autumn days fading into
the sunset.

Autumn days your stay
was too short.

Autumn days you have
left the trees so bare.

Autumn days farewell
until next year.

Farewell my Castilian bells
Ring through
These hills and valleys
Ring through the
Depths of my soul
Ring through
These cathedral clouds
Ring out loud
Farewell, my Castilian bells

For it was broken and there seems no mend

TIME TO GO

Candles
snuffed out,players
departing one by one-
the symphony becomes a
solo

Inspired by Haydn's Farewell Symphony(he wrote it as he felt the orchestra had been too 
long on the road!)


Short farewell poem by karen croft | Go to this short poem

Farewell

Picking up the pieces

the anger still fierce

losing a loved one

to a disease you can't control

scrambling for answers 

looking through tears

as we gather for

a last farewell


Short farewell poem by Greg Easley | Go to this short poem

Subsequence, Part III

III

He waited in the downpour,
swept along the muddy river
with dead leaves and old receipts;
tugged into the undercurrent
without as much as farewell
from coupled brake lights glowing cold.

Bidding Farewell

With tragedy found New misfortune and grief. Thoughts shadowed by lonely nights. All his laughs gone, carried cries through the blackest of nights. Bidding eternal love, Farewell.

tabb-PRODIGAL

Out of error,a fear,
             Then a lie;
Out of regret,a farewell,
             Then a sigh;
Out of parting,a change,
              Then a trial;
Out of reunion,a relief
             Graceful smile.


Short farewell poem by Victoria Anderson-Throop | Go to this short poem

Twilight Tryst

    Twilight Tryst
   Twilight-- time that gods find love
   Earth seduces skies
Blue defies the drab of day
Wine lights up your eyes
Azure linger light
   Bid, farewell to brazen day
Passion thrives in night.


Short farewell poem by Jill Martin | Go to this short poem

Immortality

Pierce lightly this pulsing wrist,
chaser of needing night replenish

allow me . . .
a farewell to eternal rest
in peace

allow me . . .
a last kiss to he
who is unmindful of this heart.

Now take me.


Short farewell poem by Glenn McCrary | Go to this short poem

Sherouq

She blazoned in profusion
sour braids stained
by years of catastrophe
macabre salutations evolve
become libidinous farewells
upon the handsome black boughs
lie wicked forewarnings
sheathed within
pseudo-identification

Short farewell poem by Tara Andre | Go to this short poem

Silly Epitaph 8

We are gathered here today,
To wish a sad farewell
To this sorry gentleman
Who died after he fell.

His constant tardiness to work
Was once cause for debate,
But as far as deaths can go;
For once he wasn't late.

SUMMER TIDES



 
warmth of evening lake

bathes our eyes in summer tides

as August awaits

  the closing of moon's flowers...

  we release our farewell kiss

Short farewell poem by Jayne Eggins | Go to this short poem

Spilling Dimensions

A sad farewell of beauty
 eaten away through lime
  scattered rains from yesterday 
   eroded the skin of time

   A split to part dimension
  sucking through this space 
 beauty isn’t an illusion
but essence of lasting grace


Short farewell poem by Jennifer Cahill | Go to this short poem

Autumn Beckons at the End of a Summer Affair

Autumn’s leaves fall and 
The wind pushes through the branches
That sift the sunlight

Casting shadows upon
Their dreamy moonlike skin, soft
And damp like dewdrops

And their lips, the
Color of crimson twilight,
Kiss their long farewell


Short farewell poem by Danielle White | Go to this short poem

Before I Slip

Before I slip into unconsciousness I
feel your warm and gentle kiss
your kiss
a farewell gift before the bliss
the bliss
of what comes next 
I'll miss
your warm and gentle kiss
your kiss
as I slip into unconsciousness

Short farewell poem by Donald J Bennett | Go to this short poem

Distant sound

Scanning through my memories of times now long past.

I cannot recall a more sorrowful, lonesome sound. 

Than the late night, wailing, mournful moan of a distant steam whistle blast.

As a huge steam locomotive bids farewell on its way out of town.


Short farewell poem by Yvonne Sorensen | Go to this short poem

Just a Bagatelle

Desperate to believe,
Fell under a sweet spell
Then asked, ‘Does he deceive?’
And rang the alarm bell.
A mesh easy to weave
And quick to unravel.
I think it’s time to leave,
Finally say farewell.
No permission to grieve,
T’was a mere bagatelle.


Short farewell poem by Cynthia Alvez | Go to this short poem

Blue Night - Red Morning

In between
Lovers touch
Stars - Moon - Sun,
Winds whisper
Breaking the still...
We look toward heaven
And weep, 
Tomorrow we say farewell.
Pyramids silhouetted in the distance
Beckoned us to stay! 
Blue sky
Red morning
My tears
And
Yours!


Short farewell poem by Carrie Richards | Go to this short poem

Beyond The Trees - Rondelet

Grass waves in trembles, all alone

Beyond the trees

Long shadows creep from twilight's throne

Beyond the trees

Where sun takes leave and stars are honed
 
Nay a whisper, nor farewell tone

Beyond the trees

Short farewell poem by Eugene Harvey | Go to this short poem

Old Men

a circle formed
time’s aged gather
lifetimes are recalled

a band of souls
mind’s past convey
recaptured memories

a present journey
of old men’s hearts
faithful reminiscence

a converse renown
remembered together
bidding fond farewell

Short farewell poem by Shar Lee | Go to this short poem

Farewell

Before I left I waved farewell, goodbye
I saw the ocean and memorized the stars
Left to see the world, tried not to cry
I climbed a mountain and witnessed wars
Waved away that biggest lie
Farewell, meaning closing all open doors
Goodbye but I shall return, not die


Short farewell poem by Timothy Brumley | Go to this short poem

Farewell to Autumn

Multicolored leaves

                     Dancing in the northern winds.....

                                                           Wave farewell to fall.

Short farewell poem by Emily Kroeger | Go to this short poem

My Love, I love you but this is my Farewell.

I want to love you,

But how can I, when you... you treat me like this!?

No more! No more! No more! 

I loved you once and have for always.

But no more will I love you for who you have become, but for who you 

were. 

My love, I love you but this is my farewell.


Short farewell poem by Jill Martin | Go to this short poem

OutOfSight

      A line smudged and fading
lies drawn in the sand
      tide and time ambiguous
unrecognized by this hand

A dim light scarcely flickers
      in darkest lonely void
beyond a rolling swell
      too far distant to tell
if it might have been your
      last farewell
