Often reminded
that you’ve told me
before and once again
Where was I?
In Oblivion’s world
or concealed wilderness?
Did the world matter
so much more?
Was I not keeping score?
Surely it’s too late.
The dust has settled.
Train’s moved on.
The future is begging for change!
Today’s challenge asks that we write a poem which has a title that includes a physical adjective,conjunction and mental or emotional adjective. An added challenge was to have assonance in the two key words of the title. So here we go and enjoy:
A modern condition
an epidemic plague
despite all their clothes
in love they are naked
Platinum rings
warm fur coats
layered smiles
still leave them cold
The warm body
next to you
is somewhere else-
promise broken,
Unto virtual worlds do we part!
