Loneliness

Loneliness is the caw of a single crow
The rustle of leaves
The cobwebs in the corner
And if you listen, all you hear is the wind
And the happiness falls from you,
Like rain from a cloud.

I love this poem. It sums everything about being lonely :) and is really genuine. I think if expanded on it a little it would be amazing :D

Hello there!!!

I really like this poem. It's definitely short, but somehow I think that that works with the topic. What you wrote is concise and clear but still paints a picture in my mind. I'm familiar with loneliness and I think that this piece describes it very effectively.

There's not really much for me to criticize here just because of how short the poem is. I noticed that the capitalization and punctuation of this poem is a little off, but it would only take a minute or so to resolve that issue.

I don't really have anything negative to say about this poem. I think you did an awesome job!!!

Great work!!

Keep writing! :)

I like this....but why didn't you continue????



For a short space of time I remained at the window watching the pallid lightnings that played above Mont Blanc and listening to the rushing of the Arve, which pursued its noise way beneath. The same lulling sounds acted as a lullaby to my too keen sensations; when I placed my head upon my pillow, sleep crept over me; I felt it as it came and blessed the giver of oblivion.
