Leaving is hard
It burns you inside
As you leave what you know and behind
Nobody wants to leave what they love
Nor do they want to let go.
When I left,I hugged my friends,
Never to see them again.
Because leaving is hard
But returning is harder
So I'd rather it be the end.
Sorry this one's kinda corny :P

Hey there Constance gives good advice. I have also found, only recently, that finding someone to work with on a collaboration is quite a good way to learn. Many people are very generous on here with their time and patience. Also geography or age is no boundary. I am in the UK and collaborated, and became friends with an Australian poet.
Good luck

Saviour of the Butterfly
On a dark, melancholic night,
she sat completely still.
Earnest.
Head up,
eyes frozen,
lips sealed,
breath silenced,
hands crossed,
ankles shackled,
heart blindfolded,
brain screaming nonsense,
occupied with millions of thoughts
Loud and monotonous.
Everybody had told her
to stop listening to her heart;
that emotion,
though fluid, has to be caged;
though wild, has to be tamed.
Her skin cracked in protest,
and a white butterfly
with a damaged wing
fell at her feet,
voiceless,
almost invisible.
She didn't notice
the fluttering butterfly,
for her brain was screaming ..read more

Ode to all the Missing Pens:
Where do all the pens go?
that's what I wanna know!
Do we give them to friends,
who might keep them (depends).
Do burglars come steal them,
and not jewelry or gem?
They might move, we forget
--the final place it set.
Or hide deep in the drawer,
wishing to write no more!
Check the desk! Check my purse!
cuz nothing could be worse...
...than when a pen's needed,
but they've all receded--
--to some faraway realm...
of untraceable whelm!
(Inspired by Anne Frank's "Ode to my Fountain Pen")

Everyone laughs and everyone cries,
But then when it's time to say their goodbyes,
Nobody wants to nobody’s ready.
Nobody told them they’d have to already.
Come on now, time to say your goodbyes.
Everyone comes and everyone goes,
But nobody knows how much pain really shows
When somebody leaves them alone in the shadows
Cold and dark and dazed.
Come on now, time to leave, let's go.
Everyone waits, but patience is thin so nobody waits for long
Come on now, time to forget
All those times you can never get back.
All those people you can never see.
All those places you left the echo of your voice ..read more
