Standing Here Alone

I am cold and I am wet and I am standing here alone I am cursed to wait forever watching everyone go home The days go past, and every night I am the last one here Perhaps it is a penance for the sins of yesteryear Advice I have for those who pass, they never seem to hear “Never cross a witch” I say “Or you too will stand here” I knew she was a nasty one, I made my best escape But she had other plans for me, this very jolly jape My body is of stone now, at least I’ll never die But it really is quite boring watching everyone go by What I did I am not sure, perhaps I’m just too tall But here I’ll stand until I know a pigeon pirch for all

The impact of loss, turning you to stone, is conveyed eloquently, Nick. But you can't remain stone forever; one day another woman will come along and melt your heart. Have no fear, anyone who can write and express thoughts as well as you do will not remain "a pigeon pirch" for long. Love, Carolyn

VERY interesting little read, Nick! It's kind of a triple time beat. I did that in a few of my poems a long time ago, and it has a unique flavor to it. It's a bit boring to constantly use imabic! Also, this reminds me of the myth where a man is turned into a tree or some plant by a goddess type witch. VEry ejoyable reading! thanks for your comment today. Etheree are really fun to do. Check them out! LUv, Andrea
