Lasting Losses Poem by M. Bloom

Lasting Losses

Rating: 5.0


Life
Lets nothing last.
Leaving souls to live
Like chalk drawings
Left out in the storm.

Lonely drops on
Lovely works;
Leaving only murky
Lakes of faded color where
Livelihood once took place.

Life vanishes where those
Lucid puddles lay...

...Leaving no pictures perfect
down Memory Lane.

I love this poem! You've made it so easy to envision these chalk drawings being washed out, and it's a perfect metaphor for life and its end, as inevitable as the rain. Thanks for sharing :)
