Nightmares of a Traveling Man '05

The depth of my decisions,
The aching of my soul.
Empty, untouched suitcase,
Longing to be whole.
A wasteful want left hungry,
Echoes through these rooms.
Leaves and vines keeping growing,
Beneath the darkened gloom.
Why must I lie dying?
Clinging to the seams,
My mind a field of wonder,
Softly slumbering in green.

This poem is very good I like the aliteration"wasteful want" and the end rhyme. The form is rhyme and would read most easily grouped by 4's. Light & Love Debbie
