Nothing

It’s night once again and loneliness starts to reign He’s emotionally tired and physically in pain Head on his pillow with brain so drain Can’t stop thinking, soon to be insane His tummy’s crumbling while butterflies dancing Legs shaking as if his spine is breaking Two tired eyes, damn soul searching One hungry human, to sleep with nothing

Before I forget, Joe,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@"

Joe, I'm guessing it's a trend, just this months we had over 30 new accounTs whO's first note tO us, is a friendly comment/note about he/she not being a poet. And also being nervous about their first posted poem. I take it that you are ready to get constructive criticism. YoU should consider changing the form (this is not an ABC form). That's another chain and trend the new poet share. Have a wonderful day, we need poets in this community. Happy to have U here.. Linda

A huge friendly thanks to you. Honestly I write poems but I'm not really familiar with the form or other things about what kind of poems they are. I just write to expressed. Thanks anyway!
