I guess it's time to say... Well, I'm sure that you know. It's that one word people say when one of them has to go. Saying that one simple word can fill some people with fear. And for the truly weak it can even bring a tear. It's silly to think...you know, could actually cause someone pain. Some can't bring themselves to say it. They must be insane. In a letter, the word... some people refuse to write. Like the thought will go away if they keep it out of sight. All my bags are packed and it is time for me to go. I guess that means I have to say ...well...uh...um...you know. "That man has shown himself great who has never grieved in evil days and never bewailed his destiny." --Seneca |

TA~ this was really cute. i liked the idea and the form. good... can be a very hard for many people to say... but as my quote says good...doesn't mean forever. good work hon! amy "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |

TA, I really like this one. It is very cute and as Poet D said, "Good way to say it without saying it!" Nice work. Best wishes! Poetaster D ps. In response to your post on my poem "Along the Beach Alone"...I have several more posted on this forum and in the CA forum. I even have one on the adult forum. Unfortunately, most of mine were inspired by saddness, a broken heart, or some other disaster in my life. I will try to post a happy one for you soon |

Marge -- Thanks for reading my work. It took me a long time to think of a title. Be sure to let me know which post I inspired. )Aimster -- Thank you so much for your kind comments. Good-byes are indeed hard. Lone Wolf -- Once again, you have honored me with glowing compliments. Thanks for taking the time to read my meager attempts at literature. )PoetasterD -- I'm glad you enjoyed my poem. I fully expect a poem by you in the near future full of happiness, sunshine, purring kittens and friendship. ) Consider it a homework assignment."That man has shown himself great who has never grieved in evil days and never bewailed his destiny." --Seneca |

Rosebud -- Thank you for responding to my poem. I always love to see what others read into my work. Sometimes I read someone's comments and I think "I wish I'd thought of that while I was writing it". Sometimes others interpretations are better than what the poem was actually supposed to be about. "That man has shown himself great who has never grieved in evil days and never bewailed his destiny." --Seneca |
