Heartache poem
I slipped it in your pocket
I am not sure that you knew
For a while I saw it
But then away you flew
It went on great adventures
If what I hear is true
I tried to give it to others
But didn’t ask for it back
In a 20th century world
It was easy to lose track
And why be honest anyway
Behind the smart wisecrack
Is it still in your pocket?
Does it keep you awake?
And as you have it
Why is it me that feels it ache?


Reflections from Me

I love the mystery behind this and felt drawn in with intrigue. Beautifully written x #Prose4T
Hmmm this is intriguing… tell us more#mmbc

very mysterious and open to interpretation.
Sending you huge hugs xx
I’m intrigued! I love the way this flows, telling the story and I get a real sense of heartache and wondering from it. Thank you so much for sharing with #ThePrompt and apologies for late commenting (again!). This time it was the storms – several snow days and then a falling tree branch took out our internet!!
I love the mystery behind this poem – and the fact that the reader is left to interpret it themselves. Perfect! Thank you for linking to Prose for Thought x
Wow, Kate – that is a really powerful poem! As the others have said, there is so much intrigue there… I read it through twice trying to figure out exactly what you were alluding to, and still came to the conclusion that what I imagine is probably more about my own interpretation of the world than yours. Thanks for joining in with #sharethejoylinky x
What a beautiful poem, I automatically felt it was about your brother but also I thought of my own grampy, when he passed away I wrote a letter to him telling him my feelings about our relationship and how I felt that he had gone and my uncle put it in his coffin with him to be with him always. This really reminded me of that too. Kate your wonderful post is my favourite post linked up last week! #sharethejoylinky xo
