Alone

This place where thorn bushes don’t flourish Punishing They wait for rain They dry out in pain Running blue blood from their core Scouring sun burns them slowly They die a senseless death In the dark

I have no sympathy for thorn bushes, but I never realized they died in such agony. Well done Laura. I truly love a good write and this one is superb. Thanks for providing me the opportunity to experience your poetic genius. Mac

Such sorrow--the emotion comes through your words. Good use of imagery to convey your thought. Much for the reader to think about. Hope you are having a wonderful Christmas season. Karen

Another write that many will be able to relate with. Sad vivid imagery really paints with words the essence of "alone". Thanks so much for sharing and for taking the time to read and comment on my writes~Mary

It is sad when a person is alone. But you can feel alone in a crowd so loneliness comes in so many forms. Sad but true. Glad you shared with us today. God Bless Phyl

A sad but vivid image, Laura. But you are never really "Alone" when you are here at Poetry Soup! Welcome home. Love, Carolyn
