Me Myself and I

Poetry Jam
Alone


Alone

When,
I am by myself,
I do not always feel alone.
Where I am it does not matter,
I do not always wish a change.
Why Where When I am solo,
I do not always feel,
much lonesomeness,
when I am,
alone.

There is need,
for time alone.
Time to think and create
Time to be quiet and still
Tine to be grateful for time alone

When with a group of people,
I can feel very much alone.
Where I am does really matter,
I usually want to quickly change.
Why Where When I an in a social group,
I much of the time,
feel more loneliness,
then when I am alone.

Friendship is a great eraser
for the love of time alone.
When there is a great connection,
when there are tested friendships,
where the conversation flows so smoothly.
Time I am thankful for a close friendship,
Time I am grateful in a group.


I am        not alone
under         the stars
Strange          But True
I can be             most alone
At times                         when I am not

  2. A lot of truths in your words, Rae. Sometimes we need to choose to be alone. I also agree with your closing lines. We may feel very lonely when we do not seem to be. I like the shape of your poem!

  3. I know what you mean, Rae. Sometimes it is more lonely to be with a group with one really doesn't feel a particular connection than to be alone with oneself doing what one wants to do. Loved the shape poetry.

  6. ha. was this meant to be a concrete poem? it looks like a girl...that is cool....sometimes it is when we are with others that we can feel most alone...realizing we are not alone in this world...another revelation...

  9. I COMPLETELY relate to this poem. As I spend most of my time alone, never lonely, I can feel my being alone most in a social group where I am the only one on her own. Well expressed.

  10. This makes me feel and contemplate loneliness, it provokes emotion and stirs the heart.

  11. LOL Love the shape of your poem. Perfect for alone! Alone and lonely are surely two different things.

  13. A charming, insightful shape poem - a form I have never been able to come close to pulling off, myself. This piece is a delight, on many levels.

  14. Simply awesome! I once heard that loneliness is hell for those who try to escape it but heaven for those who know to enjoy it, and I found it so true... I can see that concept reflected on your poem. I also love the shape you gave it, by the way. As I already said, simply awesome! Thank you for sharing this poetic delight!
