Best Short Poem Poems

Depression is...

Paralyzed within

Silent screams through prison bars,

The raccoon smiles.

Walk around feeling overwhelmed and full of dread,
having a heavy black cloud right over my head,
feeling like I'm part of the walking dead...

Short Poem
Things That Last
By: miracle man

Precious things aren’t built or bought,
but originate from within one’s self.
A kiss or affectionate touch unsought,
is beyond items found on a dusty shelf.

A polite rain
joined me briefly
before heading uptrail
to leave me standing, alone,
in a suddenly steaming forest.

And couldn’t say goodbye.

Is a wonderful reflect of the full moon

Then, one of the lovely rules taken 
From a sweet...
