Without

A Poem by crazysox

A writer without a pen
A duck without a wing
A boat without a captain
A singer who cannot sing.
A reader without a book
A bear without a friend
A light without a shadow
An email that won't send.

A dog without a tail
A sock without a shoe
they aren’t nearly as depressing
as I am without you.

Author's Note

I took Judy's advice and changed one of the lines. It made it more modern, too. Thanks everyone!

This is beautiful. Right after i read the first three lines i wanted to read more. Keep on writing. Good job.

Beautiful poem. It entranced me as soon as I read the first paragraph. I can totally see this becoming something that people will send to each other on the Internet.

Sadness rhymes in every line. As I am reading I experienced the feeling of being incomplete. Good Job.
