Wendy Rycroft Poet Free verse

Loneliness

Traveling for days and days,
Road! Long and open,
Miles and miles of dry lifeless land,
Scorching sun beating down,
Intense flaming blistering heat,
Nothingness parched and shrivelled, 
Dehydrated and thirsty,
Water was all to think of,
Tired and sleepy,
Looking for somewhere to camp,
Sun going down,
Next town ahead,
Great! People! Life,
Sign posted! This way,
This looks like a good place to rest,
Hello! Anybody there!
Ring bell!
Seems very strange!
Very dusty!
Oh! No!
Ghost Town,
Loneliness!
Fear!

Tony Hargreaves August 6, 2016 at 2:06 AM Hello Wendy Enjoyed your poem 'Loneliness'. Lots of images that I can relate to. Reminded me of being lost in Spain and driving round and round. Then came across a village but no one around, like it had been abandoned. Take care. Tony xx Wendy Rycroft August 6, 2016 at 2:55 AM Thank you Tony have a great weekend x

Connie Marcum Wong July 23, 2016 at 6:06 PM That would really put some fear into anyone Wendy. When we used to travel by car we always carried extra water, for the car and for us. The high desert shares little shelter. A great write! Too bad you missed the contest. They seem to close so quickly, that often happens to me too. ; ) Wendy Rycroft July 23, 2016 at 6:22 PM thank you Connie x
