Took a bite of me.
Chewed a while and spit me out.
Left me in a mess.

She departs under
A canopy of deep red-
Foliage of farewell.
I drift like leaves falling dry
Discarded and not wanted.
Her Junihitoe
Now discarded and thrown down
To adorn the floor...
Reveals an inner beauty
Of that yet unblemished core.
I weep not for you
I cry not for a failed hope,
a dream discarded,
but only sigh and lay these
small words at the feet of time.
she was chucked aside
abandoned and forsaken
learning lifes lesson
discarded and dumped
throwm away and deserted
an abused child
betrayed, discarded, abandoned
indifference is the ultimate pain
yet did we not build up expectation
and now sorrow, wearing this chain
SAD
Sad to say, as you betrayed, I did not weep but just discarded you.

Sad one-line Contest by Silent One.
Turn the pages of time.
Youth discarded like the old abandoned toy.
Regrets a dime a dozen.

Listen to poem:
Cans lie strewn, litter
tossed away, discarded trash.
Dents - defile, deform
the perfect container form.
Wanton abuse uncalled-for.
HEART
of cold
solid stone
is now standing guard
silent and unmoving
its tears discarded by time
“time will not remember your name”
I rushed right through being little me
I thought older meant being heard and seen
I know I’m grown now, but could you please
Rub my back and sing me to sleep?
From a broken Heart, does one recover:
To know you will always love the other?
When discarded like trash, far too late, alas!
You soon discover you long for that Lover?
shifted suddenly to another realm ~
wherefrom there are caused thoughts that overwhelm
are not dreams discarded in nonchalance ~
why’s playful dalliance not our response
Oh Lord,
Never allow the weeds
To grow under my feet,
Cause I might just be
Pulled out and discarded
Onto the compost heap of life…...

i am holding the parts together
sat across from me
all I thought i would need
Tells me he met another
discarded me left me to internally bleed
watering the heart that has no seed
A chagrined clown hung his head in shame
for the disgrace of what he became,
when an opportune slip of the heel,
on a discarded banana peel,
got a pretty good laugh just the same.
The contents long consumed, discarded;
the packet stirred in the gentle breeze
before rising, dancing, escaping;
an ersatz yellow-red autumn leaf;
wind chaser that will live forever.
caw
scarecrow
stuffed straw
annoying voice
Kansas farm staple
the bird sits on dummy
overlooking sunflowers
nailed to a cheap gallows frame
farmer Jacob’s discarded clothes and straw
the laces are caught up
& torn down the side
the words that once held up
have long been discarded
tender silk & flesh,
now covered with lines
let our scars remind us;
we're still alive
You
left me
all
alone,
cast aside
used goods,
to
be ditched
discarded
forsaken and
tossed away
like lint:
though
you swore
to love me
until
death
do us
part.
No vivid re-telling
But in mind only
Which inconceivable realness
Of years, most approved.
And now, for the next hour's
Discarded mem'ry
Is everything, and of each
Dull moment so proved!
Great sorrow felt.
That judgement thou dealt.
Selfish and blinded.
Unbridled.
Nature divided.
Absolutely required.
Discarded as folly.
Parried as play.
Honor and pride.
Mother beholden.
You buried me under a tree,
and tomorrow, all that you will see
is a sprout you'll call a weed.
grown from a discarded seed.
After the first Spring shower,
say "Hi" to your wildwood flower.
releasing you
to the winds that bind us
~ myself now freed

Haiku is
Lucidity
Unseen
Senryu
A sightless eye
Does not see the deep night
Blindness has no hue
Haiku
The shrubs by the road
Is full of dust thrown up by cars
Discarded dreams
