thursday

the house is steeped
in darkness
and silence today.

i have no poem to share,
nothing to say...
no tale to tell,
no argument to hold sway.

instead there is rain
and quiet
and the feeling of
being alone
without
being lonely.

love this and the thoughts of those kinds of day..no guilt to curling up with a comfortable book, soft blanket..cup of warmth...really need them from time to time

You just described my recent Saturday...that feeling "of being alone without being lonely" is a gift...

I like your non-poem poem. I agree with Delia, that last line describes my Sundays.

I really liked this...writing about how you don't have a poem to write. I liked the scene of the first stanza and then the what you don't haves of the second. Very nice.
