Exceptional A lonely poem There Is No Sky by Wayne Fowler Lonely Poem writing prompt entry Artwork by supergold at FanArtReview.com

My love left me for one who could tell jokes. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Myself, I can’t even laugh at one. The flowers out front have all died – thirsted to death. The mailman emptied out the box some time ago. Weekly groceries appear on the stoop. When that will end, I don’t care. I jigsaw puzzle – one piece a day – it has no sky. I scroll internet headlines, reports others care about. Page 105 of a non-descript novel perused a thousand times – The date my love left for the one who knew jokes. The moment the puzzle is complete, I will surely die – alone, Alone to where the flowers went, the joke that there is no sky.   Writing Prompt Write a free verse poem to express the state of loneliness in not more than 15 lines.
