I never understood your words of today.

For they soared straight over

My head.

Never did I understand your words of

Wisdom.

I walked on down the sidewalk.

My eyes passing each vertical crack.

Each equally spaced square.

My footsteps kept me in tune with myself.

I never said you were someone

I could trust.

Nor one I could envision myself with.

It all never crossed my mind.

None of it mattered.

None of it.

I keep walking slowly, passing the houses on the side

It was just me and the neighborhood.

Me and the nature that surrounded me.

My own thoughts and the world itself.

Me and my shadow.

This was a good write. I also agree that this is a good spoken word piece as well. I agree with Lori Carlson. I think you did a really nice job. Thanks for sharing.

I think this would make an excellent spoken word piece. I always read poems aloud to get a feel for them and this one has not a single bump on my tongue's road :D Alone but not lonely is what I get from this piece.. just moments of reflection. Excellent write!

alone...it can be sanctity or it can be isolation...Best to latch onto the way one WANTS it to be I guess is the unstated message.

I like the way this one rolls around on the tongue, it surely FEELS like something one might say!

Best of all it conjures up mental images and matching emotional responses to go with. My standard for a good write is does it command enough technique to create an emotional impact and involve the reader to the degree they actually contribute to the piece. This write achieves that.
