It warms my heart when I see young people who have recently joined our amazing writing group- Prose. It restores my faith in poetry, knowing it will live on.
Think of this as an english class and I am the teacher. Please share with me your 'own' poem, that has never before been in any challege or published here on the prose. It can be about anything. Poetry only (I prefer verse, with an awareness for simple grammar) although it is not mandatory.
I will read each piece thoroughly.
Please tag me after you have entered.
Please be patient if I do not review the same day you enter. I want to give every write the attention it deserves.
*Everyone will receive a review.
I am not a writing expert, reviews are based on my own experience of reading and writing poetry for many decades and what I have learned from my editors.
*These reviews are my opinion.
Thank you and have fun!

The dread crept in - pain soon to follow.
The silence was so loud, it was all I could hear.
Someone - please tell me this is a joke. I couldn’t stand it
Someone, tell me why. Why must I lose a friend?
The joke wasn’t funny, I wished it would end.
But it never would.
It never could until she decided otherwise.
The ball was in her court, and I could only pray she’d at least pick it up.
These emotions were new - but I could have easily lived without them.
My cyber-buddy, my cyber pal.
Gone.
Somebody, tell me, please.
Let me wake up from this dream.
Somebody, tell me how I will survive.
