Table for two
even though one of the chairs
has long been empty.
The kibble
in the cat's bowl
gathers dust.

What a haunting scene. It is those little details--the dust on the kibble--that pierce the heart with sorrow.
ReplyDeleteWhat Kay said. Such sadness!
ReplyDeleteMuch is said in so few words. Your images hit the mark.
ReplyDeleteSorrow is a deep-rooted emotion. The photo speaks of loneliness and sadness as do your words.
ReplyDeleteSuch a hard emotion, sorrow. Thanks for giving it voice in these short but powerful poems.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteThese images are haunting.
ReplyDelete"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?
