Words Never Wrote



Did she know that they
would look for a note.

That they would be haunted
by words she never wrote.

    Yeah, this short poem is pretty powerful. It takes a very talented and creative mind to condense so much imagery in so little space. Reminds me of a short, four-lined poem written by a 17th century Cavalier poet named Robert Herrick:

    Here a pretty baby lies
    Sung asleep with lullabies:
    Pray be silent and not stir
    Th' easy earth that covers her.

    Could feel every word, the feelings hidden in and between the lines. Inspirational writing.

    I chose this poem because without knowing the writer, I understood every word. I felt the words in my soul. A very short poem with a very powerful punch. As I was reading other poems, my mind kept wondering back to this one. That’s when I knew, this poet would get my one vote.
