Last Call

Never I felt so alone, as this night
that I lie here in fright           
Passing on
Unabashed- unatoned
miles from home-  THEY'RE GONE!
Empty….scattered…..Strawn

Shouldn't have run that red light, it was wrong
Now my family's gone
Souls have flown
with a flash- and a moan
quickly thrown- like stones
wind shield….. Crushing…..bone

Just one last drink I had said- wryly smiled
She was right- she was riled
All the while
I held fast- and I smiled
defense -and denial
Words….so vainly….. styled

She'd accepted with trust- always did
Love, protect-  her, the kids
What I did
Braked and skid- as we slid
we flipped- the tree hit
White oak-….ripped….- and split

Poet Destroyer A Date: 4/11/2015 7:39:00 PM Hello, Ronald, I don't know why, but I love the style here. Not many poets on here write free falling poems. You might want to label this poem under the free verse. That is the close form to awesome. LOL. By the way, not a fun way to end a last call. I don't like the sound of crushing bones. This is deep, in a way I'm thinking this truly happen. I hope not... Hugs.. LINDA Login to Reply Ronald Wheeler Date: 4/11/2015 9:18:00 PM Oh, and thanks again! Ronald Wheeler Date: 4/11/2015 9:16:00 PM I'll be honest with you, I never have the first clue concerning the style or form of poem I'm writing. I usually just hear a few versus in my mind and then go with it. I guess it wouldn't hurt for me to learn a little more? I'll probably start entering a few of the contests on here for poops and giggles( as I do tend to giggle as I poo :), and I'm sure I'll learn more that way. I took a similar approach to painting. I didn't read one book, how-to manual, nary a youtube tutorial, nothing for the first year or two. Feel like it helps me develop my own unique style, I guess. I'm blissfully unawares that I'm doing it "wrong". Big monkey off my back! ha to the ha Oh, and no, it only happened in my noggin, THANK GOD!! I just tried to imagine that how I'd feel in that moment. God forbid....
