My heart is free
Like a white dove,
But why is it that,
I'm all out of love?
Just a quick lil write :)
Nothing saddens my heart more
Than a dog who eats my poem
And a tree that is burned down
And a cog that does not turn

Nothing saddens my heart more
Than a book that is sold cheap
And a cousin that is hurt
From the roof eager to leap

Nothing saddens my heart more
Than the earth so full of trash
And myself who is asleep
While the years moving like flash
In case you are wondering about the odd title and the unrelated lines in this poem: in the last day of National Poetry Month (NPM), valerie asks us to reuse lines from the different poems we wrote during the NPM. The result of this exercise was this poem that is like Frankenstein's Creature, a freak. If you want to know from were the different limbs (ideas) in this poem came from, please read my other poems.

Confession: I didn't use exact lines but only the topics that I was talking about in the other poems.

Here is the link to the last prompt in the NPM:

Decions makers need always to be reminded who really is in power...
A Mothers love should run deep
So where the hell are you
Your absence makes me want to weep
I'm not sure what I should do
I've tried to tell you how bad things are but nothing seems to sink in
I know somewhere in there you care
So where do we begin
All I want is what's best for him
To have him happy and keep him home
But his mothers love is also needed
Please don't make me do this on my own
Was feeling a little bit angry/sad
When I wrote this
my blue eyes attract moths
blue flamed
hot breath
they die falling in love
