No-one and Everyone

No-one,
lonely, silent,
empty, cold, solitary,
echoes, sadness, look, laughter, hugs,
warm, crowded, happy,
company, friendly,
everyone

Lol....I can remember doing those things in primary school!! Have to admit though, they sure weren't even nearly as good as this one!!!

Love and hugs,

Can say no more than the other posts.  Very good and loved the way the poem progressed from nothing to everything.

Thanx all! ^_^ hehe, yeah, I just learnt this form a few weeks ago, 'coz one of my younger friends was doing one in class.. mm.. I never really did much poetry in primary school.. *_^

Oooh, ooh, forgot to post the form, just in case someone didn't see it..

ok

u have two opposites, and they are the first and last lines of the poem... then u have two words relating to the first line.. and so on.. until u reach the middle line.. then u have two words relating to the first line, a transition word, (a word that is kinda neautral perhaps.. links one opposite to the other) and two words for the last opposite..

yeah, well  get the idea. ^_^

thank you ppl!

Lynne
