(it's been rough here, thus my absense as of late... i shall be back soon though, commenting on these wonderful poems that i love...) [bodytext] => Irony has struck an unsettling chord
In this tiny house of Love
It’s typical of you to behave this way
Even as I watch you from above

Feelings you must have, I think
Deep within your soul
Present here they are not, oh no
You seem empty like a bowl

Take life not for granted
This lesson I thought you learned
But, alas, you have forgotten
And it’s your Family who has been burned

No matter, we don’t need your help
We’ll manage, we always do
But remember, young one, in the dark
Someday, there may be only you

great write. Sorry things are going hard with your step daughter. Such a complicated deal!! Its hard to watch them messing up but sometimes they need to learn the hard way and all we can do is sit back and watch, what a bummer huh!!! Done the step kids deal, also raised several of my friends kids. I know how this can be. Blessing to you!!

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
