Jessica Renee Dawson Poet Concrete

A diagram of loneliness

watching a movie
just to feel a little less
         
                 alone 

yet, I'm still       alone
in my mind

I softly speak   just to hear

and imagine    what it might feel like

to hear the voice of someone

                       someone who loves me

                       and listens

                       alone

Charles Messina January 19, 2024 at 1:00 AM Sometimes when you're alone it's nice to hear someone's voice, even if it's your own. Very nicely written, Jessica. Love this! ~Charlie Jessica Renee Dawson January 23, 2024 at 7:04 AM Hi Charlie, thank you!

Kim Rodrigues January 18, 2024 at 4:35 AM You constructed your concrete poem in just the right way that zeroes in on the feeling of being alone, yearning to hear another voice, to have a love in your life. My dad, likewise feels deeply after losing my mom. It’s been nearly 3 years. Hugs ~ Kim Jessica Renee Dawson January 23, 2024 at 7:03 AM Aw, thank you, Kim! I can only imagine your Dad's loneliness after losing your Mom and pray her memory will comfort his heart!
