even though one of the chairs
has long been empty.


The kibble
in the cat's bowl
gathers dust.

  1. What a haunting scene. It is those little details--the dust on the kibble--that pierce the heart with sorrow.

  4. Sorrow is a deep-rooted emotion. The photo speaks of loneliness and sadness as do your words.

  6. I felt the sorrow in your poem, especially in the dust gathering that poor cat's dish! : ( I think your Po-Emotions would make a fabulous collection!

  7. These images are haunting.

    "Sorrow"

    Grief's paintbrush sweeps
    broad watercolor strokes
    across this page of life
    pale shades run together
    and I wonder
    will new beauty
    be created?
