Stormy Night I can hear the back door slamming, behind you as you run out into the rain. I hear the car engine roar to life, and headlights flash across our living room walls... I look out the door just in time to see you disappear, around the corner... Lightening flashes...blinding me... I look again and you are gone. I am all alone I pray that you will come back to me. I close my eyes and pray silently... Thunder jolts me from my daze, the phone rings, My heart jumps in my chest I hope it is you... My breath fails me, as my mind tries hard to comprehend the message... You are gone. Christopher M. Grimm Never be a carbon copy of anybody...make your own impressions. - ANON. |

Uhmm....My apologies to anyone who may feel misled....this is a poem to and about a friend of mine. He is struggling to overcome a terrible tragedy. I have mentioned before that sometimes I write to help myself to understand someone's pain...this is that particular situation I was referring to...sorry if anyone may have felt misled...I had no intentions to and hadn't noticed the connections between this and another post of mine until pointed out by another poet.

You did a great job with this poem, it is great when we can put ourselves in another's shoes and write to understand. I have fun sometimes just pretending to be someone I don't even know and see what what can transpire. There are many ways of being creative and I enjoyed your creation here. |

Chris, I do this too...and it's that perception, that willingness and oftimes "need" to place ourselves into the realm of another's life, that fuels many aspects of our insight and creative expression. Oh, and this poem is superb. Claire |

If this were about you, it would be excellent. If not about you, it's REALLY excellent. |

I like the way you write--and enjoyed reading this poem. I often write poems about others, or even fictional to make a point...I agree with Balladeer's excellent. |

ChrisG~ This happens to be a very vivid poem. It touched me with it's sincerity. You are a great friend to have. Even without the explanation, it was riveting. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
