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

Joseph May June 10, 2017 at 7:12 AM Wow.. this is well done Lin... best wishes Lin Lane June 10, 2017 at 7:14 AM Thank you very much, Joseph. It will not be entered in a contest, but I appreciate your well wishes ;-)

Dale Gregory Cozart May 25, 2017 at 1:22 PM 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! Lin Lane May 25, 2017 at 1:26 PM 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.

Joanna Daniel May 22, 2017 at 9:47 AM This is a brilliant effort and a unique idea too:) you rock, Lin:) a 7++ from me:) Lin Lane May 22, 2017 at 10:37 AM Oh Jo, we are a mutual admiration society of two, because I think you rock, too. Thanks so much for the many times you visit and leave great comments.

Connie Marcum Wong May 20, 2017 at 4:20 AM 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 ; ) Lin Lane May 20, 2017 at 6:25 AM 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.

Tim Smith May 19, 2017 at 4:45 PM Yes, wow Lin an amazing composition. Lin Lane May 19, 2017 at 4:50 PM Thanks ever so much for the great comment, Tim.

Jan Allison May 19, 2017 at 3:51 PM wow Lin you really have written some beautiful titles and woven them together for a fabulous poem! I could never write something like this - too much poop flows from my pen lol:-) hugs Jan xx Lin Lane May 19, 2017 at 4:49 PM 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.

Old Man Emu May 19, 2017 at 3:46 PM Excellent work Lin, very creative indeed! Regards, Craig Lin Lane May 19, 2017 at 4:47 PM Thank you, Craig.
