Even this small white space
mocks me,
with it's generic
white emptiness.

This is technology.
Still white,
still empty,
still laughing,
at my attempt
at poetry.

And I miss
the sheer pleasure
of crinkling it up,
and tossing
it in the trash.

(smiles) Oh Anne, this is wonderfully thought-provoking, sweet friend, I have always thought of the white space to be so significant in poetry, almost as if it represents how much the poet wants to reveal in his or her words and the white is that which is hidden and wishes for you to think what is meant to be there! (big hugggsssss) This is excellent, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Anne, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Grab a piece of paper...it is real, and it does feels good to crinkle it up and toss it away, like a bad day.

WhiteRose - I don't think you "attempt" to write poetry, I believe you do an awesome job of it!! Enjoyed. Chris
