If you found nothing, would you kiss her soft, or force her away to take care of herself? If you found nothing, a stilled ember dropped from the tops of the trees, would you ask her please? If you found nothing, a mirror's refrain staring at her in yourself again? Oh, I've found nothing, and it's a drop in the sky free of the rain. Free of all light. |

Oh, I've found nothing, and it's a drop in the sky free of the rain. Free of all light. ============================= you, my cherished poet squirrel... always make something out of nothing  You make poetry ... oh how you make poetry.

subtle lace of sadness An excellent phrase off the cuff there Mike. So, tell me, is your muse perhaps open to offers of, oh I don't know, money, candy, pies, cookies?  "I can't stay on your life support, there's a shortage in the switch"~~Pink |

I know you just posted this poem, but I didn't like seeing the "0" next to your title--"Nothing"---but I have to admit, it did sort of fit! Zero is nothing! HA! HA! Anyway, you now have "something"---with this reply, you have a "1" next to your title "Nothing"----by the time I finish this reply, you may have 2 or 3 or 4...next to "Nothing"! ---maybe you should change your title to "Something" Linda |

I got called away during my reply----and I was right!---you did get lots of responses while I was writing mine! ----people go nuts over Squirrel's poems! Linda |

Mike... now it can be said that you wrote something about nothing...and by the very act, made nothing into something.  |

I'm glad you all enjoyed this small heartbreak. Well, not so much a break -- just a tear. Mikey |
