Those Little Things

Posted Jun 20, 2026 · 38 lines · 1 critiques

They say poetry thrives

in storms that conceal the sun

in forests that bear no fruit

in bouquets with blushing flowers

But I have seen it

in the smallest things

in the way someone sits with you

when the bench isn't full

filling the emptiness

where it used to be full

the way my phone and I

Read the rest of the poem Show less

light up at every notification

when your name appears

the quiet gestures

that say I'm here

without making a sound

the way a hand rests warmly

at my back while I wish it never ends

while my long-asked question

now leans closer for an answer

Poetry lives where somewhere

meets everywhere—

but sometimes nowhere

When the hand doesn't reach

When the notification is silent

When the gesture is loud

but never meant

Those can't reach stars

but they teach you

how to read

what the constellations meant

"Hello! Welcome to Neopoet! The poem speaks to me of the raw truth found in poetry - from the poet's observations, to the thought process, and finally to pen and paper. It is the "pouring out" of honesty that remains lon…"
