Solo

Your love was a song without a chorus.
You cut my microphone when I tried to sing.

We were supposed to be a duet against the masses.

But the guitarist was better at pulling your strings.

Oh dear! How dare they! Hope you taught that guitarist a thing or two.

Hahah. I've missed your words so much. Naaaah, all was well in my world when I wrote this. The idea, though, came to me during one of my open mics when I saw someone trying to perform a *little* too hard on the mic. So, this came to mind... :)

I haven’t posted as much in the last few years but continue to find my way back here. When you and I, Richard, Eileen, Monterey, Timothy, Vienna and Becca were all hanging about, it was a lot of fun.

It sure isn't the same as it once was ... Used to dedicated oodles of time on this site. But like you say... still the best poetry site that I've encountered.

Richard Lamoureux

March 25, 2021 at 12:47 PM

Mind you there are some great newcomers and veterans like Constance, Jan, Ann-Lise and Andrea that keep the poems and comments flowing. It’s still my favourite poetry site.

Oh and thanks for the congrats on my book blog, Mr "Tacito"! Yes ... it really has been forever. But I'm glad you thought to come and say hey, what's happening :)

Poet Tacito

March 22, 2021 at 9:35 PM

DUDE! Thanks so much for being around! I'm relieved you remembered me!!! :D I haven't really stopped writing...I've just slowed down on the posting. Also, you're very welcome! I'm working on my 5th self-published book now and remember the sheer joy of finishing & self-publishing the 1st one. So, I'm with you in that celebration!

Wow, said a lot in a few short stark statements. That last line kind of punches you in the gut. Great to you up and at it again :)

Poet Tacito

March 22, 2021 at 9:36 PM

I'm all about that punch. LOL I had read this at an open mic recently and the groans from the audience when I read that last line made it all worth it. :D Super great to see you around again, Tim!!!
