Leave me alone

Leave me alone
Can't you see my desire
To be on my own
Warm beside the fire

I couldn't be much plainer
About my choice to be
Alone on this recliner
Stay away from me

Don't bother trying
I'm not in the mood
I just feel like crying
Hassling me is rude

Tomorrow might be different
Leave me alone today
I'm ok on my own at present
Come back another day

This person is certainly shutting out the world. Good take.

That's the message I got. Good job.

There is something quite obstinate about this lone figure. I like how you can hear this attitude in the voice of your poem.

Susie Clevenger said...

Love it..you interpreted the image so well...leave me alone.

Oh yes, sing it to me again! Same song, different artist, is just how we live sometimes isn't it. I like looking in and seeing how others see and reflect in what I see- very reflective poem, bravo!

Katherine said...

Yup...that's what i saw when I first looked at the picture too. Nicely rhymed!
