The Lonely Poem

Here I am!I'm over here!I wait and waitNo one comes near! My friendsAre poor verseAnd bad haikuBut, I hope that IMean more to you! I'd be thrilledIf you came my wayI really do haveSomething to say No crowd of well-wishersNo passing throngI wonder whereI have gone wrong Is it my rhythm?Is it my rhyme?I’m sitting here thinkingCause I have the time!

awww lonely fella

come here and I'll keep you company with a check in the margin yes here ya go I like you now and does it show? How 'bout a walk and we could talk in colors yea, any color like green and pink and even gold you see It's all golden We could even jump yes, jump from place to place together showing all our color then maybe there would be another to impress their frienship with our penmanship Now don't you feel alone anymore because togeter new friends we'd make we all could go and tell the world about our words - they're already great for heaven's sake ! Man thinks this.

"follow Marks advice, even though it's kind of strong, But believe me he'll never steer you wrong!" I say this, because I know. Mark was a great help when I first landed here. Keep going Mick, just write what's on your mind. Thanks, Eddie "If I miss a bus while I'm drunk, is that an accident"

I think many writers can relate to this poem. If you look at the hits v. comments you might feel a little better. I know I read almost every poem posted!

to the "Unread Tracker"? Not just Advocates? It might be worth looking into making it available to all if not. You want to follow this up Michael? cheers, Jess

All members have access to the lonely poem page. If you go to the the general dashboard, you will see a link labeled "Undiscovered work." I think this link could be better labeled. It may be that most members do not know what it is. Michael
