Alone
Musings with a mirror to keep me safe.
Hello there.
It’s been a long time growing:
something soft, and sweet, and delicately
written, tied with a bow.
Been busy writing product pages,
plentiful piles of poetless prose
with nothing left for me
to show
to you.
How I wish you'd know.
How I wish you knew.
There isn’t any space in here,
like a canopy of vines
tearing up the room.
Something doesn't feel safe
inside. Like something dire roots
in plain sight.
But I can’t hide.
So I'll point the mirror at the door
and wait here
for you.
Please let it be for you.
Maybe one day,
I’ll bloom. Write you something delicate
and tie it with a bow.
How I wish I’d know.
How I wish I knew.

The story invoked strong personal emotions
Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

great stuff
Amazing story with raw powerful emotion. You should be very proud of yourself.
Wonderful story, well done and congratulations!
"Alone" struck a chord within me with its raw emotion and profound introspection. Your words painted a vivid picture of solitude and the myriad of emotions that accompany it. The imagery you crafted, from the solitary footsteps to the silent echoes, evoked a powerful sense of loneliness that resonated deeply with me. Your poem beautifully captures the essence of solitude, exploring both its complexities and its inherent beauty. Through your masterful use of language and imagery, you conveyed a sense of vulnerability and introspection that is both relatable and deeply moving. I was particularly struck by the way you infused the poem with a sense of hope and resilience, reminding the reader that even in moments of solitude, there is strength to be found within oneself. Your ability to find beauty in vulnerability is truly commendable and speaks volumes about your talent as a poet. Thank you for sharing your work with the world and for inviting us into the depths of your emotions. "Alone" left a profound impact on me, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have experienced your artistry. Best Rgards, Dr. Jay
