A MEMORY OF LONELINESS AND LOVE

my personal favourites in one book. these all come from older collections. hardly any of the media belong to me

* FEATURED ON @WattpadPoetry * A Haiku and Senryu collection. "All that we see and seem is but a dream within a dream." - Edgar Allan Poe

oddly written words for curiosity. if any other emotion is evoked, please inform the poet immediately, via the comments. Thank you for your cooperation. (read at your own risk)

'In the old days at home the Neverland had always begun to look a little dark and threatening by bedtime. Then unexplored patches arose in it and spread, black shadows moved about in them, the roar of the beasts of prey was quite different now, and above all, you lost the certainty that you would win. You were quite glad that the night-lights were on. You even liked Nana to say that this was just the mantelpiece over here, and that the Neverland was all make-believe.' -- J. M. Barrie, Peter Pan The image used in the cover artwork is originally from Lyn Hagan's project 'Porculpa - Zero Gravity Cat'.

Memories.

A sorrowful man spends most of his time inside his own mind as he deals with feeling of detachment and melancholy.

A whole lot of many words.

i love the challenge of form poetry, especially the invented poetry types. it excites me to see what my words do to a form and vice versa. i love my personal stamp on it, because there it is, no matter what, one's very own distinct voice. i have wanted these in a separate collection for a long time and here it is.

Journey Home c.2013, Olan L. Smith Journey Home is a collection of poems that is a personal search for my spiritual home. I go about this search with the tools of poetry using the English language as my map. Love, peace and freedom, Olan L. Smith
