Nothing More

How would you say goodbye?

A smile, a nod

Without a wave

Or second thought

Soon all will be forgotten

But for

A smile, a nod,

And nothing more.

Author's Note

I just randomly thought of this. Since I've gotten so many positive reviews for "Fangs", I decided to try poetry once more. I think this one's pretty bad though :(

I think in our daily life, moving at paces so fast we forget how a smile, or a nod can effect a person. I loved how this made you stop and think, hey did I give someone a nod or wink today, did someone give me one. How did it move me to respond, even if it is forgotten, it was a gesture not expected but one that brought perhaps a smile to your face.

Nicely written

Don't ever put your writing down, stick up for it. It needs you to have its back.
Further more I enjoy this piece very much the simplicity in your words balence out the unknown of the story read as a poem, that indeed puts a smile on my face while serving me a blanket right out of the dryer and a dainty plate of melted milk chocolates.

Lovely my dear

I don't think this is 'pretty bad' as you suggest. We are our own worst critic, eh? So few words, yet evoking much thought. "Soon all will be forgotten, but for a smile, a nod, and nothing more."

What impression will our goodbye leave upon a person? Makes you think - to choose your last impression - carefully...

~nice job~
