I meant to call you,
But I am so forgetful.
Friendship is fragile.
Gardens that are neglected
Dry out in the summer sun.

The humbled Master's love!
His neglected purple, 
linking earth to above,

      its once ubiquitous name is charity

a sweet puppy
without a home to live
warm bed given by a stranger

Forgotten Grave

The name no longer legible,
Eroded, lichen covered slate,
Dead flowers in a broken pot:
Who rests in this neglected state?

Domestic Battlefield

a neglected yearning
orphaned, long before death
concealed in view
obscured to the world
a parting conductor; reflected
an isolated pair
left without

Premium Member Diss Track

Her latest lyrics, I've dissected.
It seems to me, I've been neglected.
Why?  I've done nothing to cause a rift.
Yet, I'm not mentioned by Taylor Swift.

Skeleton In the Cupboard

We can recall
Joyous moments in our lives 
With great enthusiasm;
But the tears 
We've neglected to wipe
From the eyes of our fellow man
Will never leave us

Stung

There was a beekeeper named Floyd
who had thousands of bees deployed.
He neglected their hives
a threat to their lives.
Soon thereafter Floyd became void.

a workman-like
attititude
can become
a tour-deforce,
to express
to explore
without a 
proviso:
a reciprocal
to compensate..
a
neglected
imagination

randomly opened 
by a gust of wind
the newspaper
like a neglected child
seeks attention

Unmothered

Neglected by you, 
The simplest form of abuse

Not photos taken, so none to fade
Ransom for love still unpaid

Might as well have given me away
You were a mother only in name

The Little Boy

At age six, he was abused,  neglected and beaten daily.

He never understood why God allowed this to happen to him.

Time will help him heal his scars and put love into his heart.

Times of War

In times of a war 
When death is
Knocking at your door
And people get desperate
It's always the poor
That need the most protection 
But once the bodies hit the floor
Their safety gets neglected

Premium Member Why So

honour&truth
    a central theme,
is neglected so:
yet love&hatred
accepted as two
sides of 
       the same coin,
praised as natural..
inherent,
unchangeable...
except ..
with Another's help!!

Premium Member A Mayo Clinic

A much-neglected condiment is mayonnaise
    for its smooth, creamy flavor, I give it 'all A's'

  It perks up a sandwich more than ketchup and mustard
    and even on desserts, it can outduel custard
