Poem -
A Handful of Ghosts
A Handful of Ghosts
It was while
Sharing your
Bed with
A handful of
Ghosts
I was forced
To conclude
There was just
Never enough
Room
There for me
So as I bring
You your tea
And a handful
Absolutes
Plus a few
Home truths
Each one
Of them painted
In delicious
Black and white
I leave them
Here for you
To digest
At your leisure
Any time of
Day or night
And remember
Whatever
Else you do
Keep my number

I love this. The last line just turns the whole thing and as it does it delivers its punch. Great poem. Welcome to Cosmo Neville x
I love the fact you bothered to consider and respond to my little scribble my friend .. Many thanks indeed ... Neville :)
This is amazing...I love this...every line of it, the title and particularly the unexpected ending. Such a clever, different and interesting write ...well done x
Bless you Marion, many thanks indeed are winging their way over ... x
Hello Neville,
What I love about this is your imagery and how you manage to connect the reader visually to the emotions felt here. The title gives an impression of a spectral entity. However the inability to detach from past lovers, is what I felt from reading. Such a clever title. The second stanza with “delicious black and white”
wow such clever ink, which for me is all about honesty from your part. This is a clever write indeed. Captures the message perfectly and cleverly painted with your fine choice of words
Welcome to Cosmo

All good N, I am happy to help in any way. Stars give you the option of giving a poem a quality mark. Like when you leave a review for something. Five stars being perfect. You can vote for a poem which gives admin an idea of what poems are being voiced as worthy winners. Then you can pin a poem. Pinning places a poem in a personal inventory that lists all your most favourite read poems on the site. Most people Pin so they can read the poem again at another time. I do hope this has helped. I think I got it all right. Any questions I am always happy to be as helpful as I can.
Things you might not know. You can add youtube links to a poem. Images and voice record a poem. There are some great audibles on here from fellow poets
Happy writing my friend
and once again it is lovely to have you here on Cosmo
Gwen
:)
That sure does help an awful lot .. thank you again Gwen ..
Neville :)
Do enjoy a good twist or reveal in the end of poem and your poem delivers that concluding spark.
Your poem takes a reader one way then sells a dummy and after reading it, it is hard to determine what is real and what is not. A real tease and guessing game so cleverly and wickedly written.
And if it's not too late welcome to Cosmo Neville!
Thanks a million Shaun, the cheques in the post my friend :)
