How lonely I would be
left behind on my desk
an unfinished poem
in the glorious morning sun

with my thoughts and my pencils

PRETTY BUTTON

alone
fashioned for me -
fits so well

when dear old hubby
packed his bags to chase rainbows
i became moon glow

Our children grown
deign to clutter spaces theirs -
bird songs woo me

punctuated by
the grand baby's visit -
my alone-ness

today is adorned
pretty -
a button on my blouse

Revisit
left alone...
...am alone
home alone...


i am blog hopping today at Poetry Jam the prompt is "alone"

1325

loneliness
lies within the listener---
a cuckoo’s call
--Chiyo-ni (1701-1775)

from the top of a branch
one kiskadee surveying

sleep alone?
Milky Way
--Issa, 1822


one black bird singing
to the light of morning -
i too am alone-
