Tombstone's Lament

. For so long the ground has warped . depressed about my frost frozen feet . For so long the sunlight . has not glazed .within the R E S T of trees and .roots deep infertile om .For so long IN solitude did I . find sleep uncared for . within the P E A C E of the church .yards keep undisturbed .For so long not until this .night regret did inward .seep to me and mourn . within the ground a old . soul lies asleep alone. .For so long but now it’s .~Hall-o-ween and I may rise again to moan.~ .~ For within the grave nothings as it seems ~ /////////////and there is no going home./////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I turned it, I added words, I made it my own, I made it a narrative and I even added comma's and I told a spooky story, that I loved, thanks for the inspiration, you are just wonderful for allowing us to do this ~~~

Kool piece may i say. Oh my Deborah, these concrete poems are as tough as concrete, i nearly went cross eyed doing my attempt. I think i'll retire now >> thanks for the prompt to enter, at least it will raise a laugh >> James

Hi Deb, Nice negative space concrete poem. (I've been racking my brain to think of something good... Nothing yet with negative space...not giving up yet, though.) I love the grass cemetery. Love sent your way! Lovingly, Dane Ann
