For today’s assignment I decided to use my tag cloud as inspiration to create a poem. I picked words that I use frequently to tag my posts. Here they are:
Home
I say goodbye to you even before I left
The illusion shattered from within
Gradually without me knowing
How can I miss something I’ve never known
Yet I’m longing to find you on every shore…
Family
Blood is thicker than water
There is no greater lie ever told
Like The phantom I am a stranger
A meal ticket nothing more…
People
There is nothing I am more scared of
My fear is grounded on experience
Countless encounters and betrayals
I learned the hard way trust is a fairy tale…
Life
I had not wealth I had not fame
I knew not love though I did know pain..
I love how you expressed this, thank you for sharing it

I will never call myself awesome but I used to earn pocket money in high school writing poems for boys about their girls I’ve never met.

Of course. Each of us has different lives that’s why the saying: To each his own or Whatever floats your boat. Hurrah for diversity and originality. We have to respect and protect those.
