Excellent A life lived alone My Book of Poems 2010-2017 : Vacuous Life by Mustang Patty Lonely Poem writing prompt entry

My empty house surrounds me, Only voices from the television fill my day, The people in my life have all gone away. The husband left two years ago, Taking half of everything material, And the little bit of human touch Extinguished along with the light of Love. Kids grew up and started their own lives, Finding themselves husbands and wives. A text, an email or short call, Is what I hear from all. Will anyone mourn my passing? Will I be missed when I'm gone? Loneliness surrounds me from dawn until dawn. Writing Prompt Write a free verse poem to express the state of loneliness in not more than 15 lines. Author Notes Reflections of a lonely life
