Richard Lamoureux Poet Free verse

Trickle Down

My mind
Trickles down
A lonely page
Blank space remains
I stay
On the edge
Whispering 
To the white
I wait 
I pause
Thoughts unexpressed
Waiting 
On the sideline
I wonder
Who will fill
My empty space
Is it waste
Is beauty
In a pause
Words not said
Never read
Held in mind
Three words confined
Dripped down page
Done

Trickle down free verse contest.

Andrea Dietrich July 28, 2013 at 7:26 AM richard, I did my trickling poem and afterward, I read the rules again and saw I had done it wrong by using some lines with more than three words. Then seeing this one again, I thought I better warn you. "Is it a waste" Just take out the "a" and it will be perfect!! Richard Lamoureux July 28, 2013 at 8:06 AM Thanks Andrea

Eileen Manassian July 25, 2013 at 8:56 PM HERE...here is what I connect to in your work. My own sentiments written by a different pen, and different mind....ABSOLUTELY amazing. Good luck! So many poems I've written...I keep...they never see light of day...I weep....the truth they contain...too deep...to be printed on page so white.
