Abandoned Writers Cafe

Empty rooms in empty halls.

Accounts silent - long abandoned

the words bankrupt

vacant fronts of creativity 

washed over; hollow; run down.

Verbs sway on rusted hinges

the strains of old poems

cross pages like tumbleweeds.

Profiles shuttered - desolate

unopened for years, collect dust

while messages to forgotten friends

go unanswered

Pinned to a page 

like wanted posters

Reviews

[Fabian G. Franklin]

I still visit the profiles of old friends here, some that I know seldom if ever, revisit the site. Others are departed from life itself. I revisit their comments on my posts on other sites as well. I'll find one and say, well, wasn't that nice? This is eloquently poignant. I enjoyed and I relate. F.

Thanks for reading, Fabian. :)

As do I. They are like monoliths on a partways barren land.

Truth.. but many leave their work behind for different reasons... some die.... ... sad... I miss so many that have traveled on... or became broken by the indifference .................

Well Said......

you hit the nail on the head with this one. You do have a way with words. I have so many accounts I can't keep up, lol. I basically use WC as a place to back up my poetry, but it is always nice when someone comments on something I have written. I do try to visit others, as it gets more traffic through my profile. Have a great Memorial Day weekend! Great piece!

You too SJ, thank you.

[SJ Mullins]

I'm amazed how people come and go here. You've captured this brilliantly, Tim.

Wishing you a wonderful holiday weekend!
