  3. Alone by RyterRoethicle (Ballad) Alone Have you ever really felt alone, In a room crowded, with people With the buzz of conversation, Ignoring, wanting to decouple? http://thepoetsgarret.com/2009Challenge/form1.html Have you ever really felt alone, With someone lying next to you, And you don't really feel her there, When you belong to someone new. Have you ever had to carry on, That nothing seems to be amiss And yet your mind is miles away To where your heart still exists. RyterRoethicle

  4. Ode to Myself (ode) Ode to Myself Just as Walt Whitman would say, if he were with me today..... For I have true love inside Any egotisms have surely died. The beautiful song that strives to be heard this song is clearer than any songbird. There is no reason to feel pity for my God and his love is always with me. And I will try to learn as much as I should, knowing that there are no problems, just opportunities to be good http://www.thepoetsgarret.com/form.html#ode

  5. The Dero by Terry Clitheroe (free verse) The Dero Every morning as we rode out training We would see this dero arrive Shuffling along, unaware of life around Clutching his life in a brown paper bag He would settle into his corner of the bus shelter His special seat http://thepoetsgarret.com/2014Challenge/form07.html Rain or shine he'd be there As we'd ride past. As we rode past. He awoke from his alcohol induced slumber For a minute, once again he was a hero As he leapt into the air and caught the football "What a mark" you could hear him say As he punched the air with his fist Holding his imaginary ball to the crowd Then he settled down once more Into his corner of the bus shelter His special seat And we rode on. Terry Clitheroe

  6. Edgar Allen Poe poem about his cousin Elizabeth it is in vain you say "Love not" - thou sayest it in so sweet a way: In vain those words from thee or L.E.L. Zantippe's talents had enforced so well: Ah! if that language from thy heart arise, Breath it less gently forth - and veil thine eyes. Endymion, recollect, when Luna tried To cure his love - was cured of all beside - His follie - pride - and passion - for he died. http://thepoetsgarret.com/list.html
