Chris Green Poet Rhyme

A Rattling Rhyme

Wasted words

Wasted words
Empty ink
Left alone
Just to think
Once you were
Now you’re not
Seems that most
Have forgot
Time you spent
On their page
Verses read
Center stage
Curtains drawn
Lights are dim
Views are gone
Comments slim
All good things
They must end
Matters not 
What you’ve penned
Take your thoughts,
Stanzas too
Go away
That means you
We don’t care
What you write
Any day
Late at night
Poetry
for the birds
Empty ink
Wasted words

Reason A. Poteet March 26, 2020 at 12:09 AM Excellent work, Chris..a winner in my book. Reminds me of Brian Strand's footles.

Connie Marcum Wong March 23, 2020 at 3:13 AM This is perfect for the contest Chris! This corona virus has many of us down as of late. I have been worried about my four children being out of work when businesses have closed down. Reading poetry has lifted my spirits, so I thank you my friend. Keep safe. xxoo Chris Green March 23, 2020 at 10:54 AM Thank you Connie for always being so kind to me.

Kim Rodrigues March 7, 2020 at 8:35 AM Yes, the sadness of slight or empty comments! So many on this sight. We need to be unselfish and read others poetry. Enjoyed the quick read!

Quoth Theraven March 5, 2020 at 10:36 PM Chris, Ebbs and flows like the tides. Your words arrive safe on distant shores. -Richard Chris Green March 23, 2020 at 10:54 AM Thank you Richard

Ronald D Thompson March 5, 2020 at 4:35 PM Hey Chris, hope all is well my friend. Agree with Sandra, this has such a sad tone, which is not you. Not only are you a valued, talented poet but also a huge supporter of other poets work. I repeat, hope all is well. Best wishes...Ron Chris Green March 23, 2020 at 10:54 AM Thanks so much Ron

Heidi Sands March 4, 2020 at 6:00 PM I agree with others, sad. Seeming to have some anger too. I do not know what it is referring to, but wish that it wouldn't happen. I hope you have a nice evening :) Chris Green March 23, 2020 at 10:54 AM Thank you so much my friend.

Sandra Adams March 3, 2020 at 8:48 PM :( how can one even comment on this...sad but well crafted Chris! Chris Green March 4, 2020 at 10:48 AM Thank you so much Sandy

Ilene Bauer March 3, 2020 at 3:24 PM wow! i know what you mean, chris, and it is sad. so many wonderful poets have vanished from this site over the years and sometimes it's for the reasons you've mentioned in your beautifully crafted (and very catchy!) poem. please don't join those who have disappeared - we can't afford to lose you! Chris Green March 4, 2020 at 10:48 AM Thank you Ilene. You have always been so kind to me

Alison Hodges March 3, 2020 at 2:51 PM What a sad poem Chris. Please don't fade away on us. Chris Green March 4, 2020 at 10:47 AM Thank you Alison

Brandy Nicole March 3, 2020 at 2:17 PM Oh my!! Words are never wasted. Emotions have a voice. Always!! Comment when you can, view as many times as you wish. Embrace each moment. Soft sigh. ~ Brandy Chris Green March 4, 2020 at 10:47 AM Thank you so much Brandy

Jan Allison March 3, 2020 at 12:21 PM I can only agree with you Chris, there is a distinct apathy on the site with many poems getting few reads or comments, its no wonder folk are moving on to other sites or just leaving , but no matter what is going on in soup I will never leave :-) hugs Jan x Chris Green March 4, 2020 at 10:46 AM Thank you so much Jan for reading and commenting

Charlie Smith March 3, 2020 at 12:18 PM Rattle on Master Chris, rattle on... Chris Green March 4, 2020 at 10:46 AM Thanks Charlie
