heart stone

this came to me yesterday

i dropped a stone
into a wishing well,
it sunk like it was
supposed to.

problem was,
it wasn't just any stone.

it was my heart,
petrified from
all the years
of you.

This is sad KLGoode. I really liked this poem alot. It was short and to the point, even if it was sad.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks as always.

You cat have a way with words that no one will ever replicate.Very deep write my friend :)

[Lyn Anderson]

Wow, thanks, just a couple weeks ago someone told me they couldn't tell my work apart from anyone else's ...

[Madalyn Beck]

KL Goode: I am a fan of this poem. Succinct,.. and a pretty successful concept laid out here in the writing. I'd also go so far as to bet that you could nearly even get this down to a haiku, or there abouts ... :)

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you so much for your words.

[Pryde Foltz]

I really felt the pain with this one, KL. I hope that wishing well brought you renewal:)

Wowza, damn I felt my heart sink when I read this… that is how it does feel when you lose the person you thought you'd spend your life with.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks. Yeah, and if I write a million more of these. it might just get lighter ...
