Seren Roberts Poet Sonnet

A Penny For Your Thoughts

“I don't really wanna know what makes you leave, or when you'll be back.
I just wanna know what will make me cry at your arrival.” 
? Ade Santi



Was a cold and dismal  night, you strode out
Why did your mind choose such a time to leave
What was so important, you had no doubt
This was the now, you so strongly believed.

Our life was on an even plateau, yes
boring at times, did we see each other.
Familiarity breeds hope I guess
Yet did not look and we did not bother.

Yet on your return how will I behave
Welcome home, or ask you why have you come
Do I want to cry, beg you like a slave
Or turn the other cheek, what's done is done

I bury my thoughts too raw to expose
As I buried the love, under my nose

Maurice Yvonne March 22, 2015 at 7:24 AM Do you have enough comments yet because my fingers are getting really sore. Well finger actually, I only use one to type.

Maurice Yvonne March 22, 2015 at 7:16 AM You know I am here anyways why don't I fav this little gem. Seren Roberts March 23, 2015 at 1:31 AM Lol. Thank you

Maurice Yvonne March 22, 2015 at 7:15 AM Did my last comment have an echo in it? Why does it read "A pound for for..."?

Maurice Yvonne March 22, 2015 at 7:13 AM Maybe a penny for your thoughts is too cheap for anyone to comment. Try upping the pay out to a pound for for your thoughts,

Maurice Yvonne March 22, 2015 at 7:11 AM This could be like the vacuum cleaner of all poetry. It just sucks up any comments made leaving the trail clean.

Maurice Yvonne March 22, 2015 at 7:09 AM I will have to check later to make sure my comment is still here.

Maurice Yvonne March 22, 2015 at 7:08 AM The irony is that I was convinced I commented on this one. Seren Roberts March 23, 2015 at 1:33 AM No but you have now....thanks ....Seren
