The Dead Zone

I write poems on the daily.

More like every

single moment.

The ones I write

in my dome.

The ones that are

left alone.

The ones that are

forever a slave to

the twilight zone.

The dead zone!

The ghost of every

dead poem I

have ever wrote…

Have no home!

Some poems are better left alone. Especially, "The ones that are
forever a slave to the twilight zone. The dead zone!"
Maybe at a later time they will be worth taking a second look.
Perhaps a new and different meaning. Not in the dead zone anymore. You'll never know unless...
Good job. Keep writing.

[sinNsincerity]

Yes, Unless...
Thank you for reading!

I think we all have poems that we love and share, some we share for reaction and some that are too personal to see the ligh of day. And of those we share, some find homes in thebheart and minds of others and some are left homeless. Such isvthe lot of a writers thoughts and dreams.

brilliant...this is very relatable! Sometimes i have so many thoughts going around in my head that i find it hard to grab them and put them down, so many are lost floating somewhere out there!! LOl

Love this write Bestie!!

[sinNsincerity]

Just exactly how you described it lol
Thank you Bestie!

[nafisa]

enjoyed this very much : )

[sinNsincerity]

I'm glad you did!

[Krystal Jones]

There is a comical element to this one. Every writer and even artist can and probably would relate to this.

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you for thinking so hon.

They have no home, they float into the air, flying and mingling with other sounds, words, feelings. However, there's always someone who can filter them out of the debris of noises, out of the snowy picture. Be sure of it...they eventually will have a home. Well done, Sin in Sincerity. :) Rudi

[sinNsincerity]

Eventually indeed.
Thank you so much for reading Rudi!

Wouldn't every poet relate to this! Well I found this cool transition here, how it goes from a happy zealous feel to a neutral one and finally to end in a sad thought. There's the passion that squeezes poems out of us which feels great and there's the frustration sometimes heartbreak on missing something great which feels real real bad. Well expressed, Sin, great personification too!

[sinNsincerity]

It's pretty nice, sort of like a roller coaster of emotions.
Thank you so much for reading and noticing the personification of the ghost.

[Angela Sparks]

Yes a lot of poems never actually make it anywhere. I have that happen a lot. Once I try to remember it, it never comes out right. They are truly ghosts of a dead poem:) very nice way of putting it

[sinNsincerity]

It's so blah! I hate it when that happens, but it's so cool to know that I'm not the only one. =D

[jeannemarie coulter]

totally love this idea of a crypt of poems thought of but not written...truly a dead zone...

The ghost of every

dead poem I

have ever wrote…


i think the above lines would read better if you used the word written instead of wrote...just a thought...

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you so much for reading and leaving your thoughts Jeanne, I really appreciate it!

[jeannemarie coulter]

welcome always

[Ankita]

why dead poem? :O

no poem is ever dead..because its penned down..

[sinNsincerity]

They are dead because I speak of the ones that never get to be penned.
The ones That come to mind in a instant and then are forever gone in a flash. Not being able to make it to a piece of paper before they are forgotten.
There are so many I have thought of in the shower or while driving and would try to memorize and not forget, but by the time I get to write it down, I no longer can remember it....

[Ankita]

oh this happens with me too...
its very sad actually... i feel so irritated when i cant remember them... :(

[sinNsincerity]

Likewise, we just have to move on and hope to capture the next one... =D

[Ankita]

yes.. :D
agreed :D

[nazia]

Off course they have a home. Writers cafe...
I like the way you write poem every time and divided time slots for them too... a nice impressive write :)

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you so much Nazia!
I'm really glad that you enjoy that.
