Poem a day challenge...55 Flash Fiction Friday
























Day 30 Prompt: Farewell

A nuance of pain
indefinable in the
emptiness of
goodbye

Did we mirror each
other in the mutual
field of despair

No it was only my
desperate hope
that lingered in an
improbable moment

I searched but found
no sorrow in you

how sad

Silently I shed my tears
in a transcendent span of
pain


~~

This is my final poem for the Poem a Day Challenge at Poetic Asides. I don't know if I'm sad or relieved. Perhaps a little of both. I'm so glad I completed the 30 days. There were days when it was really hard to get a poem done, all sorts of things cropped up. But my 30 poems are proof that when I am determined, look out!

To all of the people who read my poems and encouraged me, a great big thank you.

I'm going out of town for the next four days and I don't know what time I will have for writing and blogging...hopefully I'll be able to snatch some time from some where.


Love,
