Walayee Poet Lay Whitlock-Ishway Poet Rhyme

She Fell Upon a Lonely Night

She fell upon a lonely night
When question filled her mind with fright

She wondered what her purpose was
Did anyone care with what her life she does

She pondered why she drifted aimlessly
Through this life ever so painfully

She soon realized she would not be missed
If she never returned; no one would be pissed

She lived her life with minor connections
Made certain no one would miss her affections

She went on this way pretending to be strong
If her life would end; for her no one would long

Lay

Joe Inka February 21, 2011 at 7:13 PM Your poem was very sad and I have a deep understanding of your words in my own heart. For what it's worth, based on what I have read of you, many people would be very sad at your passing , Myself included. So carry on, and learn to see in yourself what most everyone else sees.

Robert Pettit February 20, 2011 at 4:34 PM Good descriptive rhyming in these couplets. Collectively, they convey vivid images in any reader's mind.
