Yoshi Mato Poet Free verse

The Last Dance

Flickering flames,
shadows dancing
in vain.
For their stories
that unfold 
shall never again 
be told.
Melancholy moves
the breeze.
An invitation to
the last dance,
of a soon
to be forgotten,
romance.

September 28, 2015 at 9:12 AM Well done Yoshi. It's terse and precise yet leaving room for one to wonder. Isn't that the work of a poem? To raise questions in answers and letting people find their own place in it? I like it buddy. Kudos.
