Poetry: MISSING YOU

As I was perusing my favourite blogs earlier, I noticed a challenge over at real toads to write a flash 55 to keep the memory of our dear friend Galen alive. Galen originally hosted this fun challenge and his posts and comments made me laugh so much. I decided to repost this 55 which I wrote over ten years ago and if you read the comments you will see G-Man being his amusing self. If I remember correctly, his 55 was regarding toilet humour that week. Miss you buddy.

P.S. This poem was written about my husband. We met, he went back to Australia, he came back, we got married...it's complicated, hehe.


When you're away my life feels wrong.
My only company wine and song.
I count down the days until you return.
The art of patience, something to learn.

When we're together the time flies.
Love and laughter, mischief in our eyes.
Nobody understands me, like you do.
Sometimes I believe we are one, not two.

Flash Fiction - Every Friday, I compose a short story of 55 words - no more, no less. If you would like to join in the fun and games... post your story and report to the boss -
If you're not interested in contributing a story, feel free to read the other entries. I'm sure any comments you have would be appreciated.

Happy reading and writing!
Love

    Missy - I presume you have read his 55 by now and know what he has been up to.

    G - Good to know.

    G-Man's comments brought back pleasant memories. KB! Hank finds a connection with him whenever a 55' is written these days!

    "we are one not two," it happens. More and more so as time goes on. Then if there is a split it all reverts to wine and song again. Been there, 13 years first marriage, three W&S (post Hippie days, I grew my hair out and got a motorcycle to augment my VW Bug), now going on 46 years second marriage.
    I love your words, I have lived them too. Thank you, KB.

    I really like the tone and rhythm of the poem. The seemingly simple way in which it explores a topic that isn't simple at all.

    And I completely understand...

    I love the poem. I drink too much wine when I'm alone, away from the husband. Thanks for your blog visit!
