Phantoms on Thin Air
by Clara Mae GregoryPhantom friends
say they care,
Yet, when reality claims them-
they're not there.
Like magic, they disappear
while suffocating
from their own thin air.

and your use of imagery encloses it transparently within the sphere of poetry... |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 01/01/11 at 03:06 PM Playful composition with a very serious message. I like this very much Clara Mae. And I can strongly relate to it. |

passing nothing
sings the song of no one near
when bluebird whispers
i'm your friend
as he flutters past your ear
