There are many cases of solitude in this world with those waiting silently.There is little to do, but move on and find someone who is also in solitude.

Great description of feelings within! It compares what is outside with what`s inside. Good use of words to describe emotional states. Writing leads reader deep inside the World of a lonely person.

I have seen in a TV program a man and a woman in a square with a big sign "Hugs for free". And there was a long queue....

A very well-written poem about loneliness when we seem not to fit in with the rest of the group who will easily left the one alone who seem not willing to participate in the fun and games.

I can feel the pull of hte heart in this as they plead for them to be there with them when they are not. Oh, to want someone who is not there. It draws on you and increases the pain of loneliness.

Good description of loneliness by contrast, then turning to the internal. From general to specific. Also love the use of alliteration. A good entry.

Battling that loneliness is something that even many we do not recognize have to do on an almost daily basis.... always take time for a few words to everyone... Your offering here is great (not sure what other word to use...) emotional touch on those predicaments. Thanx for sharing and best of luck! ;)

You did paint loneliness with your words and your illustration pairs perfectly with your poem. It is an excellent entry for the contest. Very nicely done.

Dear Mystery Writer,

I totally get it. This seems like the perfect description of where I was at one time - in self-isolation. A self-imposed time of loneliness - where it was very possible I would have been received into company fine, but my own self-doubts and insecurity prevented me from finding out.

Your words ring true - far too true. Makes me hope this is merely fiction and that you do not currently feel this way. Sending hugs -

Thanks and good luck. This is definitely a sad and lonely poem.

You've captured the feel of lonely beautifully in this poem.
Conflicting emotions that come with the feeling of loneliness line each word. I've never truly been lonely...but, I think everyone at times have felt like this. This feeling of not belonging anywhere. I guess it's a matter of how you will overcome it.
Overall, this is a very deep, and thought provoking poem you have written.
I think you've met the contest beautifully with this poem.
Good luck,
TommyWrites~
