c(''') (''') ......Bunny


The greatest tragedy isn’t death, nor pain, but to love in vain
Even when they burned the olive branch and killed the dove
When peace is set on fire, it ends in rain
No, the greatest tragedy is wasted love
To be afraid, and never love again.

"This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper."
~TS Eliot

Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once."
~William Shakespeare

"The night has a thousand eyes, And the day but one,
Yet the light of the bright world dies with the dying sun
The mind has a thousand eyes, And the heart but one;
Yet the light of a whole life dies when love is done."
~Francis William Bourdillon

    I tried to send a message about what prompt I used for my poem... but my computer link-clicker thing is malfunctioning, and keeps re-directing me to this page. SO... *sigh*
    I used the prompt from T.S. Elliott's The Hollow Men
    ... thanks for the contest, it was interesting. I'm not one for love poems, so that was my attempt.
