Homeless no spoken words or moments of reflection just silence an empty house with no echoes of laughter only bare rooms without life a cold and empty bed sits on the floor with sheets still folded and a pillow without indention not a home just a place to stay for now © 4/20/00 Gary Pence "A poet is someone who is astonished by everything." - anonymous |

Caught a chill reading this one, Gary. This rings a very sad, lonely, almost hopeless overtone. Very well written poem. Michael |

Thanks Michael. I did not mean for this to sound hopeless, just an observation of what I have right now as compared to what I have temporarily left behind. "A poet is someone who is astonished by everything." - anonymous |

A very sad feeling came over me while reading this one. Bleak. Greatly Written though. The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship." --Ralph Waldo Emerson |

~My goodness,...this poem left me sitting with my chin in my hand just sort of staring at the screen blankly....I felt it...I've been there. |

Me to kid I was looking for a box at one time. Joel. I howl a mornful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

Thank you! I was trying to capture the feelings of coming home to an empty house after spending 5 days with people very close to me. My house felt so empty when I walked through the door. "A poet is someone who is astonished by everything." - anonymous |
