Premium MemberYeats' Beau Fled With Rhyme And Reason

When You Are Old Poetry Contest
Sara Kendrick


Yeats' poem describes his courtship that sank
With his misconnection he is bitter
And he takes digs at his beau's true glitter 
Alluding that his fire drew her blank

He paints a now-and-then picture of her
Saying he'd be the one holding her hand
Should old age leave her without charm and bland
Yet she

Premium MemberI fled

No trepidation or fear 
Of want or rejection 
Could hinder my 
Escape from your
Clouded vision 
I am weary of
Your daunting
Heartless ways
Once the pitter
Patter of your steps
Tandemly danced with
My heartbeats of love
Now tears rain where
Sunbeams once rose
Seeking the stars
A cajoled existence 
I fled

  A child asks ‘Why?’
     An old man cries
  Where has youth fled

  Lacking curiosity
    ~ his child is dead

With All Voices Fled

With all voices fled
Her's, included
This evening, further off
Eves now mythic

Is what's heard, despite
This blowy night
Not that, as dream-craved, midst
Fairy music?

Or, whispery, one
But found among
An exile-hearted land;
Ghostly tragic?

They've Gone

Your children are dead.
Go now and lay down your head.
They've fled, it is said.

Tragic, When Innocence Was Lost And Love Fled
(Youth, Dreams And Reality Series) poem number 1)

 
Like lake June swans once so were she and I
Passionate romance money cannot buy
Coupled and in heart's fervor we stood
Giving into our fever all we could
She the flighted arrow, I the strong bow
In our innocent youth fearing no blows
Living love's

Life Fled As I Sought Yet Another Day,
( verses born from the illusion of immortality, 1977) 
Part One

As I went beyond that black veil,
Having trod this earth and seen hell,
I look back while daring to say,
" Life fled as I sought yet another day."
        
Yes, youth was fine

She had
 got mad

 and threw
 a shoe

 he tucked
 and ducked

 and ran
 from Jan

 Oh Fred
 she said

 you make
 me ache

 Allow
me now

To take 
a break

Goodbye
 A sigh

Premium MemberWhere Fled the Tenderness

Where has the romance gone
  moonlit nights kissing 'til dawn
Where fled the tenderness
  from our love once so strong

Where are the conversations
  that used to matter so much
Where are the magic moments
  when our fingertips touched

Where are the sparks that flew
  from our hearts to our minds
Who uncoupled our souls

Premium MemberTo a Rural Village Fled --- Oh, Irony

Won't look a stranger in the eye
   She never ever would say Hi
Security is tight at home
   Ten hidden cameras eyes do roam

Afraid to let her children play
   Outside where they might go astray
Inside she fears the internet
   Where bullies are a constant threat

She prays that school

Youth Fled Away, Time Has Shifted

Youth fled away, time has shifted
that cumbersome dark veil lifted
With more Light, my eyes can now see
that lost lad hiding within me.

Years bring wisdom if one lets it
so pay heed, do not forget it
Temptation says, let us do that
for risking is where cool is at.

Yet what else can human life

So instead, Joe got showed it for free!

The Raven Has Fled- Part Two

The closer you get
The more they seem to move
As their shapes become giant
And your hopes then behoove
Now anchored offshore
With the dinghy in place
You can see them more clearly
Each shape and each face
Like monolithic Gods
They reign high on the hill
Looking down on who enter
With a warning that’s shrill
But where are the people
The Island is bare
Just giant

The Raven Has Fled- Part One

The ribbon is cut
The die is cast
The cement is dry
Yet nothing lasts
The brazen rewarded
The hero a fool
All reason outdated
New fury the tool

A journey presented
Your ship to go far
With doldrums eclipsed
By the light of new stars
The lands will seem foreign
The people most strange
But they’ll smile as you pass
And call you by name
You run and you run
