"Alone"
Even as a word it stands on it's own
To be "lone" is quite the art
Easy yet hard and that's a fact
Coded in intent or enshrined in mystery
To be "lone" is quite the art
A lone wolf is so with intent
Yet misery is said to make for good
company.
Solitary can be a choice,
and yet one can find that it's not quite their choice.
They say you can pin the art to the artist,
yet in this art they are so many artists.

i am an autistic artist of solitude ! Favissimo !
Thank you 😊
Well written it is thought provoking but at least partially true in that each person has a choice. To live alone is a bit of an art where there is loss and gain. Well written
Thank you 🤗
You are most welcome Isa
Isa…there’s something quietly thoughtful about this piece that I really enjoyed. The repetition of “To be ‘lone’ is quite the art” gives the poem a reflective, almost meditative rhythm. It feels like someone trying to untangle the difference between chosen solitude and painful isolation. Strong work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
