Left on a battlefield without surrender Abandoned by yon progeny last Ever forgotten, cold pretender Feelings lie buried by memories past Thought-gobbets’ crystals are no longer clear No longer mattering, no longer dear Left in a corner without simple regard Restrained not by caution’s care-filled hand Overlooked, the distance rent apart Discounted deeply in a no discount land Thought-crystals’ gobbets are no longer clear No longer mattering, no longer dear As a smile and a glace seem to put me away In a dark drawer’s duster, so cold and so gray |

I will admit I had to look up the word for gobbet, because I wanted to be sure on its context. It all fits, and it is thought-provoking. Well done, Steven |

I too had to look it up but yes, it's a very interesting piece you've written. Nothing stays the same in reality. Enjoyed reading and fathoming.....grin.... Eric Love does not look after it's own interests. |

Yep. Gobbet. We have learned a new word. Thanks for that. And the poem that word revolved around wasn't bad either. Nice work. Intolerant people are the people who do not believe the way we want them to, which makes us intolerant by default.—July 26, 2010 |

hey guys, so then I am not alone with learning a new word...and I am in great company...I didn't find the word and write around it, rather I needed a word for it and found the word...so glad you all liked it...Sunshine, Eric, faithm, JerryPat, and me...we all get a vocabulary star for the day! |
