I sit alone
In a room away from home.
I have made a new friend,
A sorrowness that never ends,
But in the dark
I touch a spark.
The spark ignites
And illuminates the night.
Then a single flame shines,
And I waste no time,
I rush to the light,
And scare the flame to fade into night.

I sit alone
In a room away from home.

This is my first poem that I have written in about a year... and I am not sure if I should still try. Please respond to my poem... it would mean a lot to me.

Well I certainly enjoyed it ConderE!  It actually brought back memories for me when I first moved away from home ... sad and scared is how I felt.  Keep writing hon!  This was very descriptive!

Best wishes,
/Kit

Please do keep writing.  I have allways written basically for myself.  But I found out that sometimes other people can benefit from what I have to say.  You never know, someone might read one of your pieces and feel relieved that someone out there feels exactly the way that they do.  That's what this is all about.  I'll be looking for more.

This is a good piece, my friend. Don't give up writing, you'll find that it's the friend that's there when all others betray. I hope to see more of your work posted soon!

It was a great poem.  Please keep writing.  I think alot of people, myself included, think that their own writing is bad...We just judge our own things more harshly...Keep up the good work.

This was a wonderful poem.  We all know what it is like to either move or start somewhere new.  You described that feeling perfectly.  Keep posting poems.  You are a great writer.  Hope to see more soon

You are alwayz going to be your own worst critic. I feel that you have done a great job describing the feeling of being away from home very well. Sometimes we reach for things that we hope will give us solace, a new grilfriend, a new boyfriend, a new anybody, just something, anything. Most of the time I believe that we realize that we are strong enough to stand on our own two feet, when we find that we are enough just  as ourselves, and not a possession of someone else.

I would like to thank everyone that has posted a reply. It means a lot to me and I plan to continue writing...but I only write when I am deeply moved so I don't expect to write soon.


This poem was written about a special girl that I ruined things with.

i LOVE this. i'm glad you got over your writer's block. this is really awesome. there's is much to be said for simplicity, and the simplicity of this one invokes so much. the levels here are good to, and all kept with the candle theme. truly awesome. thanks for postin.
