What happened to poetry?
What happened to love?
Thought both reacted together
not parted or rebuffed.

No more laughter
no more rhyme
no longer strong
no longer life.

Just dull.
no life.
no will.
no outlet.
Nothing.

Alice, this seems unlike you - a little sad and unoptimistic when your poems are always full of love, but I understand that feeling, and you've expressed it beautifully.

Hmmm, as Nell says a little sad and unoptimistic. I a moment of disillusionment expressed very well.

Ah, so what happens to love when poetry gets all 'clever', and goes off on a tangent? I guess it lights a cigarette. So maybe what I am saying, is that when poetry goes off, emotion goes up in smoke....

Alice, I loved this. Word perfect. Holding emotion - deep - and also something elusive about it - both things I love in a poem. Miffle

Love sometimes goes wrong, so does poetry! But sometimes when love goes wrong it can make you write even better work.
