I would give anything

To have you back

But you’re worth more

Than all I have.

What is this guy doing now ? Is he laughing and having fun, living his life ? I hurt for you, but you also have to know in your heart he's not the only one. You pieces are so powerful, but I challege you to write of another man who touches your heart. Rain..

I've never heard of this form before but it's very fascinating. This is a wonderful poem and so much is said in very few words. I really like it, awesome work!!!

what a wonderful poem. you expressed in such few words one of the most hurtful yet rewarding emotions: love and you showed in such a short way the hurt behind what you feel. this is such a wonderful poem. great write!

Honestly, that truely is the BEST poem I've ever read!! To convey that much emotion in so few words is truely an art in it's self. A thousand, no-a million, kudos to you!!!!

I loved that. that was special. I cant beleive what I was reading. I had to read it like three times to fully grasp how great it was. It caught me by surprised for such short a poem to be that good. By the way thanks for the Jorio lesson. Ive never heard of that type of poem. you should write Haikus too if you havent already done that.

This might be one of the best examples I've seen of a truly deep and heartfelt sentiment being expressed in so few words.

I love this piece and I know the feelings it describes. I only hope that it describes a fleeting thought and not an ongoing one - as no-one is worth more than all you have - everyone has great worth - before and after you meet someone else.

Looks like you have met your challenge. I admire you for being such a diverse writer. The picture is perfect for this and I am amazed you can say so much in so few words. :-) Kudos for a job well done! Carole

This poem expresses so much pain and disillusion but yet it is so powerful in spite of its length. I think this is a pretty good piece.

Kudos

Wow, just revisiting this one and noticed I got a 'thank you'. really not necessary, but thanks.
You are really good at these short impacting pieces.
