A Poem of Titles

This poem was created using ONLY the titles of poems I've written. Many of them were posted on PS, but not all of them appear here. No grammatical articles of speech were used. I danced in the rain on silver wings our whispered words, "Make me the reason you breathe" Whispers dried on the vine whetted with deception, branded by flames disillusioned with love we turned our backs on forever Dark sombre nights, my heart cried tears in the moonlight while sunlight sleeps Alone in my grief, a soul depraved layer upon layer, shoveled from the grave Night rituals no escape from the pain night visits to a vile place darkness in starlight's bloom emotionally naked when forever is severed Heartache wears a face of woe Memories linger, wistful memories Drowned in passion, with remorse Farewell to our yesterdays Treacherous Heart! Human imperfections...mortality Outracing death, an uninvited guest Shadow of my lover Love's tragic death In darkness I dwell in crypt hued grey in shrouds of silk Weep not for withered petals sing no canticle for me For love I have died

this makes a very good poem on it's own. since you like farcical poetry as well think what you could do with a grocery list!

I'll tell you what I'd do with a grocery list...make myself very hungry, but that could prove to be a fun challenge. This was written for a contest on another site. Thank you very much, Dale.

Wow Lin! I know the amount of time it takes to put together titles that will flow together like a poem, and this effort is tremendous and worth the time it must have taken. This is outstanding! 7 ; )

Hi, Connie, and thank you very much. It did take some time to put them in comprehendible order. There were many more that I could've used since a lot of my titles are of a sad and serious nature. I appreciate your kind comments and so glad you like this one.

Thank you so much, Jan. This was written for a contest on another site... a challenge, but a fun one. You CAN write using only your titles, but you would have to write two different poems...one with your serious writes and the other with your..ummmm... less serious tidings.
