Sorry I forgot to ask.  When you say 25 words do you mean literally 25 words?  Or 25 gross words (4 letters or more)?  If it's the first then I didn't exactly meet the criteria :(

Sorry I just assumed words like "I" and "the" don't count.  Probably because that's how it is when I write college papers lol.

But disregard mine, in that case.

yea i saw yours and it was a little long. the entire poem can only have 25 words. maybe just try 24 words: divide into 3 lines with eight words each. whatever works for you, it doesn't matter.

Born..
Alive..
Dead.
At this end
We cry
We weep
We mourn
For them
Why?
No need
...
They are still alive

Depression sucks your life

Into a cave  and as you try

To find it….you go deeper

And deeper into the dark

Cave that is depression


word count = 25 exactly

ode to the crazies i've met


When you realise you ARE the crazy man on the bus
the release is sublime
and the subsequent, obligatory laughter, finally understood.

in my solidarity,
I aspire to unite
my light,while still
overcoming my fear
of the darkness within
my own soul.
all on my own.

two years

I write for you
as if you were my ampersand,
a thin string between sane & insane

Can we swap eyes, my Heavenly light,
and I will see what age has made
of your comely face?

Two hearts as one
Take one away, and
Then their is none.
