Mystery Poet

you're only a flag
a presence without a name
why are you hiding?

a faceless person
voiceless mystery poet
do your eyes see all?

just an enigma
unknown reader of us all
A PS Phantom?

No, its not one of you....unless you have multiple accounts. I always check to see who's online. I see a flag and no name...and this person is online quite a bit. Curiosity....Yup, I know...it killed the cat. Let's hope I don't suffer the same fate. Hugs

Unfortunately I don't. My comment is just a Senryu that Conan Doyle would have attributed to Sherlock Holmes.

I likey. ;) Really, I was thinking of writing a short story about a similar topic. We are all a mystery. Regardless of name. We can sit across from a person for twenty years and still not know their heart. We can surprise ourselves, too-- we often do not even know what we are capable of -- both in strength and weaknesses. Hello! Nice to see you, by the way. Hope you are well or on the "way" to feeling better. HUGS! Cyndi

CYNDI!!! SO SO good to see you here at my page, my dear. Yes, I'm much better, thank you. I go through these valleys. One never knows how long that journey will take. This was about a month and I thought I'd not write for a long time...I'm back, for now! ;) Till the next time? Yes, mysteries are always intriguing. When I go for a ride at night...I look at all the lights in the buildings and I wonder....who lives there? What goes on in their lives? Are they happy? Oh...the mysteries of life. Hugs

;) Well, there is someone who is nameless but appears online...I can't help but wonder who it is? Why don't they write? Why are they silent? The imagination runs wild! Thanks for your visit!

An enigma wrapped in mystery waiting to unveil itself at the right time, perhaps. A most intriguing verse that enflames curiosity, dear Eileen! Beautifully done!

For me it is all the people who read my poems but don't choose to comment.

I think there is a big brother watching us...or a big sister. Sometimes it's good to be anonymous. Thanks for the visit, dear....
