Hunger Within

 There is an emptiness within
a hunger that cannot be satisfied
it rumbles deep under the skin
a heart that has been blindsided

feeding on poetic words amplified
when will the joys of spring begin
feasting on dandelions hillside
there is an emptiness within

  2. Truedessa, I like the collection of lines you have here, and there is an easy way to switch them around where they still stand in cohesion. Very cool.

  3. Your poem is beautiful, yet sad! That yearning for something more. The blindsided heart never rests in peace it seems.

  4. May spring fill it with buttercups, baby geese, birdsong and sunny mornings.
