Since I was in jr. high, I’ve been writing poetry that rhymes.  Of course, as soon as I got my first computer, I looked for every place I could find that published poetry.  One day, someone told me that by writing rhyming poetry, I was showing the world how amateurish and immature I really was.  It was almost enough to cause me to never write another poem again.  However, I decided that my poems were mine to do with as I pleased and if nobody else liked them, oh well.  LOL

This is the poem that I was told wasn’t good enough to be seen in professional poetry circles.  Well, I don’t care as it’s good enough for me.  LOL

Blue Sky Grey

Back before the sky was blue,
I was sure that I loved you.
Before the clouds had floated by,
You turned to me and said good-bye.
I’ve longed for you since that day,
My sky has gone from blue to grey.

I’ve never loved like that since then,
And I’m not sure I will again.
My broken heart is all I own,
And feels as if it’s turned to stone.
You’ve become a world away,
As my sky’s gone from blue to grey.

I miss the way you made me feel,
My soul was not yours to steal.
I wish somehow that you could see,
Just what it is you’ve done to me.
Now that you have gone away,
My blue eyes are turning grey.
