Hello again everyone. How are you doing?
Thought I would share another poem that I wrote. This one was written many years ago, like the others I have shared lately. I think this is one of my favorites of my work. Would love to know what you think of it!
Never to Return:
Burnt to ashes,
Full of silent lies
When tomorrow comes,
We only say goodbye
Yesterday is distant memories
Chock full of what could have been
When the new day dawns,
We’ll never go back there again
Why commiserate in sorrow,
When you could touch the sun
Burning across the seven seas
When the future never comes

I'm glad you shared this. It really got me to thinking about how fleeting the days are but we have memories.

@celticeagle I am glad. I have many more, may as well share them here since nobody has bought my book and it's been published for over 10 years now. I'll earn more here than ever did not selling the books hah...

Is this talking about “yesterday”?
And what does “Chalk full” mean?
I just remember the chalk used on blackboards when I was at school, which was eons ago. 
I thought it was quite a skill to write on these, in a straight line and at an awkward angle.

The poem is talking about the past...not sure what you mean by yesterday?
I always thought it was chalk full, I guess it is actually chock full - but that means like to the maximum capacity, full, crammed,etc

@MommyOfEli2013 some call that writer’s block. You’ll write when the mood strikes.
