undeliverable

arqios

 

"undeliverable"

 

 

Stacked thoughts in dusty piles,

bound by strings no hand unties,

pale ink resting in shadowed drawers,

still waiting for uncalendared days.

    Upon unread paper, good write friend

  • sorenbarrett

    I have so many of these discarded ideas, starts to poems never finished, phrases without a finishing line, sentences without a following thought all stuffed away with not only dust but cobwebs and spiders guarding. Even the string is rotting. A great short Cryptic

                Damn, Rik! Four short lines, and now I'm contemplating an entire lifetime of unfinished business! LOL! I suppose that's what I get for opening one of your poems before I've finished my coffee. Well done, my friend! šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸ™šŸ•ÆļøšŸ¦ā€ā¬›
