Friends and acquaintances come and go
Along with some I will never know.
Some I wish would stay,
Screaming at the screen
"Please, don't go away!"
But it only stares back, serene
And quiet, as if to accent the emptiness
That I feel in wake of their exodus.

Very nice, didn't know you wrote.

I used to have a lot of poems on Mingle, but for some reason they got deleted. I'm not sure why. I may have actually asked Admin to remove them.

In any case, I've tried to find them again, but they are gone. I usually can locate deleted posts through a few tricks. In this case, they don't work.

Well maybe you can repost some for the enjoyment of all.

I wish. I had them written down in a little black book....but I don't have it in my apartment.

It was left in storage with a friend. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to contact him in over a year. We both changed numbers....and he's moved I don't know **exactly** where. So until I get a car (probably within the next month), I probably won't be able to track him down.

Among the missing poems was an genuine sonnet I composed for my ex-girlfriend. Those are tough to write as a general rule.
