Numb


Numbness invades
once again.
Daily chores...
a quiet battle.

Another day of
telling lies.

"So how are you?"
"Fine, thank you,
and how are you?"

Forging smiles...
a thin disguise.

But be at rest,
O weary soul.
For numbness
always passes.

Tomorrow's dawn
promises hope.
Clear of webs
and un-frayed rope.

I can't give you any technical praise for I know not what I do. I can say that I feel the emotion of this one.

If a poem makes you feel...than it has done its job! And that is praise enough....thank you, Dave.

This is simply just a free verse poem, which seems to be a favorite among people today. I, myself prefer the form poems, which make you think and pay attention to word choice.
You, my poet friend, are on your way to becoming a great form poet!

Funny thing happened yesterday.....I could not see my poems on this blog or any comments, as the site was having a technical problem....glad I can see your comment now.

Thank you for stopping by to read and leave a comment.....gives me reason to write.

Ah yes the daily battle that quietly rages and the forged (meaning false) smiles we show the till the dawn of another day's hope.
