Anyways, rules are as follows, write a poem in any style using the five words that I give you. Write it in one sitting or in under an hour (only to quash your inner editor, rules are loose there). Add it here, OR link in a comment so we can enjoy each other's poems. The words can be in any plurality or tense. Today’s words are: lost, gone, far, miss, drift
Lost I am,
gone I was
Far beyond the folds.
Miss my heart,
drifting past
the black and white days of old.
Past and future
dance along
their stories oft untold.
Present stuck
In between
Standing in the cold.

I've been wondering about you! I sure hope you are okay. Know that I've missed you.
Feathers drifting on the breeze, lost,
gone in the smoky haze,
far from me as morning drifts along the currents
I've missed your noisy passage,
your flight a memory cherished,
kept close to my blouse.

I have missed your presence. Welcome back lady!
lost, gone, far, miss, drift
Those that have Gone,
Drift away on a fluffy cloud,
I Miss them so.
Lost, but not Far away.
