From Somewhere

Home again, home again jiggedy jig - returning from - somewhere.. nobody here but you, feircly frowning prepared to ask where did you go? why did you leave? what made you up suddenly and make that insignificant void in my life? Home again, home again, jiggedy jig I came home so you could burn the bunting burst the balloons give the feast to those who needed feeding.. my reply to your question you needed to know how much room I filled in that void you call a life.

I can feel so much emotion, especially pain and bitterness in your words. The image also adds depth to this piece. And, the among above is an interesting one to pair with the poem (the "L" out of view; an incomplete picture). You words remind me of another poet on another site. An impressive write.

Many thanks, Robert. As some would say, how perceptive you are in reading between the lines. In a way, 'feel guilty for expressing self in such a way, but it's how it can be. Emotions need drain from raging river to piddlin' puddle, I suppose!
