From Somewhere

Home again, home again
jiggedy jig -
returning
from - somewhere..  
nobody here 
but you,
feircly frowning
prepared to ask 
where 
did 
you go?
why 
did you leave?  
what 
made you up suddenly
and make that 
insignificant void
in my life?

Home again, home again,
jiggedy jig
I came home so 
you could
burn
the bunting
burst
the balloons
give the feast
to those
who needed
feeding..
my reply to your question
you needed to know
how much 
room I filled in 
that void 
you call a life.

Robert Ray Date: 2/10/2018 8:55:00 PM I can feel so much emotion, especially pain and bitterness in your words. The image also adds depth to this piece. And, the among above is an interesting one to pair with the poem (the "L" out of view; an incomplete picture). You words remind me of another poet on another site. An impressive write. Login to Reply Emma Green Date: 2/14/2018 9:54:00 AM Many thanks, Robert. As some would say, how perceptive you are in reading between the lines. In a way, 'feel guilty for expressing self in such a way, but it's how it can be. Emotions need drain from raging river to piddlin' puddle, I suppose!
