Nice ... Yeah sometimes when the love dries up it's not anger or any other such dramatic feeling against a loved one but simply a lack of feeling. Good luck in the contest!!

You have improved your skills in this Eleven77 poem form. Very great job you have done in creating this one. I love the imagery and rhyme. I get the feeling that you already know the answer to the question you asked so as to fit into the contest requirement. This is a very good entry and I vote for you to win. Your friend, Bob

    Blessings to you, Bob for reading and for one of your wonderful sixes! Yes, this form is really interesting - it forces an economy of words (and you know me, I do like to spout off!) You definitely should try one of these - they're fun - especially when you play with enjambment. :)Sharyn

What a wonderfully musical and unique form. Never heard of it, so thanks for the notes.

Well penned and extremely expressive with strong emotional overtones. A resonant work...heartfelt and poignant. Very sad!

Superb phonetics with consonance, assonance, rhyme and alliteration. Especially well done in these stanzas

screaming silence
parched, like desert, and
sucked dry

as sand-bleached bone
no tears to scald me,
as I

blindly walk now
through scorched, sun-seared days
alone


Potent poem!

Love and light,
rd

PS Leaving town for a week and will be off line.

Lots of Love,
rd

    :) I'm just starting to put together (or RE-assemble) my 2nd show ... so I'd love to send you a copy for editing etc - probably not for another month or so ... :)))) ???

    Sure dear. Anytime. I have a bunch of active clients right now and next month, but they send things chapter by chapter, so there is always room in between for more work. Looking forward to it, as I enjoy working with you, dear friend. Love, rd

I love the poem. I love the picture. Loss of love can make you feel out of control. Rain would be great. It will let you breathe. You will remember how you got this way. Time to move on and find true love. Great work.

What an amazing poem this is as you wish for love to return.
I love the references to the parched desert and how you might
wish for rain or for love to return. The part that starts with
"the screaming silence parched . . ." is my favorite--such great
imagery here. My best to you in the contest.
Connie

A very sad poem my friend. I hope it is just a write and not the way things are. So pointed your beautiful lines as they tear at my heart. I guess the picture lends credence to the way I feel. Great write.

Your description and rules leave me dizzy! Such a complicated write, your poem is lovely. Wishing for change, one little thing could make it all better. A fine entry, good luck!

So well crafted! I love the way you broke your lines and stanzas to make the syllable count and rhyme come out right. The imagery is good...the parched condition of lack of communication. The final plea, "Can we wish for rain? don't say no." tugs at my heartstrings.
...Bill
