Hubby had a problem with his computer yesterday and did some housekeeping.
I thought I ought to do the same so asked for his help in defragging my machine (everywhere was red apparently) and then set to in sorting out my files, downloads etc to see what I could delete or archive elsewhere.
I came across a couple of poems I’d put on the back burner and forgotten.
The first is an abecedarian poem and the second just as it came to me.
This picture was taken on Christmas Day 2018.
Another day:
Beautiful and
Calming
Dawns.
Expectations now
Forever
Ghostly,
Haunting
Images
Jostling inside:
Knowing
Loneliness, yet
Mellow in the sun
No-one to explain
Open waters
Pulsating as the tide:
Questioning why,
Reasons illogical and cruel.
Shimmering tears
Unchecked fall in
Violent torrents,
Waning and finally
Xpelled,
Yielding to
Zenith and peace.
This was the second and the image is from google
A downward spiral
Into darkness.
Feet stumble,
Eyes cloud,
Heart plummets.
Effort is futile,
Energy lost,
Mind elsewhere.
Day to day living blurs,
Remote control,
No thought,
Enthusiasm dies.
Solitude preferred.
Time immaterial
Passes unnoticed.
Alone, but not lonely
Voices echo
Singing lullabies
From years long past.
Tears fall,
No reason,
Cleansing comfort
Relieving pressure,
The Dam of living
Release and flow,
Mingling onward
Another time and place.
These are both lovely, Di. Really well done.
Thanks Roberta. I’m glad you liked them
It’s amazing what you stumble across. Especially given my chaotic filing system. These are wonderful. You should do more poems.
Thanks Gary. I’ve printed off those from last year and there are almost 60 pages! There are quite a few in my blog and I must admit some of them I find hard to believe I wrote.

Beautiful post
Thank you
Right now, I can really identify with your second poem. It could have been written for me!
Also, do we all have to do this defrag thing?
Hubby says it is prudent to do so as it is the electronic way of keeping everything neat and tidy like your would a desk or filing system.
These are the best of that form I’ve read.
Thanks Chelsea for your lovely comment.
Nice find!!
Thanks Ruth
