The tourists have departed 
The sun is almost down
Gregorian chants are flowing
It’s peaceful all around
On Montserrat.

Giving burning sensation
Departed from trees
Being turned orange and brown
Crunchy layer on the ground

Lonely

All the caravans of hope
Have departed from my life's desert
It's just me standing alone
In search of the way to a destination unknown.

for A Seasonal Crystalline Poem Poetry Contest. Sponsored By: Tania Kitchin.

It is September! Autumn started
Goodbye summer which departed

Old Racers

The car and the driver were stock
and trying to outrun the clock.
They had Cowl Induction,
erectile disfunction,
a rod that departed the block.

The Babies Poo

There was a baby, brand new,
But the father was scared of his poo,
So the father departed,
The mother then started
To clean up the brown baby goo!

Corona Iris Lockdown

The milkman quite quickly departed
As soon as the postman got started
His slippery mouth
Was heading down south
When she crossed her ankles and farted

Finally the rain has started

After the flowers have departed.

Two months of sunshine,

Though hot and sublime,

Has left the garden broken hearted.

Adieu

Refusing to appease the host
while skin and bones hang on
His mind departed, his spirit free
— his words released in song

Premium Member Insincere nothings

tribute to a departed soul
as protocol demands
a forum to connect
with relatives and friends
murmuring insincere nothings

oblivious to the widow’s tears

Merry Snow

dear friend,
missing you all the time,
strange,
you avoid me,
have we departed,
I hurt you,
what has happened?,
I only remember you

Alone

Anybody hear my cry
Lonely have I been for so long
One friend would have been nice
Never have I felt so betrayed
Even the closest of my friends have departed

Departed Lover

Now I am the lonely
and the fool leaves me because grass is greener on the other side
love is fools paradise and a fallacy
I still stay beautiful  and hold my pride

He was simple minded and hearted

From his grandmother's house departed

As he was homeward bound

He got so turned around

Thus ended up back where he started

Misinterpretation

I misinterpreted 
another poem today
I waded in with 
my high black 
bootsand put 
my back into it
I worked up 
quite a sweat
Exhausted I 
departed
satisfied 
but 
wrong

Flowing and Going

Flowing and Going

Down calm river were recently started,
And noticed it had split and parted;
Waters flowing;
Both ways going;
For places all unknown we departed.

As I Cry

AS I CRY MY LAST TEARS
WE MUST SAY GOODBYE
AS I CRY MY LAST TEARS
OUR LOVE HAS DEPARTED

AS I CRY MY LAST TEARS
THERE'S NO TOMORROW
AS I CRY MY LAST TEARS
FOREVER WE NEVER HAD
