I Was Here

Graffiti          fades          from          the          wall,
            Alike              the           alley        after          dark.
    "I                  was          here!",     screams      the
        Wrecking         ball,        leaving          your      mark.

Oh!! I am wondering was it a true wrecking ball or someone doing more than just graffiti on the wall? I enjoyed reading this one today. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara

Thank you, Sara ... In this poem, I wanted to send a message about leaving a lasting impression... Why leave only graffiti when you can knock down the wall? :)

Brilliant write for the contest my dear poet friend Kelly. I'm also thinking to join but no idea yet. I love what you did on the form, the image and I love the sweet ending. Good luck and best wishes in the contest my dear poet friend although your entry is already a winner in my book. Thanks a lot for sharing. God bless you always and your writings. Hugs
