You need a little diversion in your life.

I wrote this earlier--maybe it will take your mind off the recall for two minutes:



A Whispering Sound

Just on the edge of conciousness
So soft you can barely hear
The voices from the past
Quietly reaching your ear

The sound of your mother cooing
Lullabys as you lay
Peacefully in your cradle
At the end of a beautiful day

The noise from the street as the children ran
Oblivious to all but their games
The sound of your father calling you home
You can still hear him calling your name

The voice of the first love you knew in school
Those awkward expressions of love
Remember the way that they made you feel
Better than anything you'd ever dreamed of

Listen real close and you'll hear the laugh
Of your true love from through the crowd
It caught your attention and held it
No matter how soft or how loud

Wedding vows and baby's first cries
'I love you's' as they went beddy-bye
Those are the sounds that are causing
The tears to well up in your eyes

You write doggeral, that is about a C-, in a fourth grade English class. Find another " diversion ", as poetry isn't your meitre.

I have many " deversions " and reading your exceptionally badly written poetry, isn't one I care to savor.

You can find the time, to find and post your own tripe, but NOT to answer some civilly asked questions. I see ... it's all about you, you, YOU and what you imagine is worthy. ROTFLOL

I pity you and shall pray that you get help...soon. You have quite the inflated ego and pride goeth before a fall. :-)

A good poem. Deserves to be published in a "better" collection.
