Good luck with your contest entry. This is a sad tale of selfishness ending in the grave. How sad a man can love only himself and not those who would love him. some folks are like that - self-centered and controlling right up til the day they meet their Maker. "We love because Jesus taught us how to love." Well done.

Hi Jen. An excellent entry into the contest. I know/knew people who were unable to give any response to those who loved them. "Never returned love, friendship." So sad. Marilyn

HELLO JENINTORRE: I like your posting here in that it's really an eye opener. This is sooo true to life. This poem has made me, "STOP," and really think. I feel sorry for him. He gave up only what he had no choice but give up. "THE GHOST." God have mercy on that dead man's soul. Thank you for sharing, Jenintorre. You are appreciated. God bless you and yours. Cordially: rhonnie69.

Comment from Frank Colabella
This is a very somber poem, and because it achieved that effect so well, I have to give it five stars. The lonely sentiment put forth in this short poem is nicely created. Good luck in the contest.

This made me feel very empty. As I am sure that was the intent..the loss of a life unfulfilled with anything of value. It is very sad and indeed true for many people unfortunately.

Comment from Miss Sherry
Succinct and to the point. Very good essay on life. I like this and your artwork fits well with your words. This is a sad commentary on a human life...never giving and with nothing to show for a life.

Comment from Cindy McIntyre
Very poignant, and sadly this is true of many people. Your title says it all, "A Wasted Life." In the end all we really have to show for a good life is the people we love/leave behind to miss us. Powerful little 5-7-5. Good luck in the contest.

Well I'm surprised he warranted a grave stone. He probably paid for it himself and his wake was a party of him... Looking forward to 2019 and reading more from you Jenintorre

Comment from Jaye Bennett
This is a good 5-7-5 poem. It is also a sad commentary on the life of a loner, who, if he had given himself and others a chance, could have had a life worth living. Good job.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written 5-7-5 poem. When we live our lives without someone that we can love or love us, we will certainly die alone and no one may notice it for days.
