this is happening to me
the words are gone
can't you see.
They were here yesterday
I saw them
sitting in the swing.
Just a swinging
happily humming to a tune.
But when I looked today
they are gone
I feel so lost
deserted
betrayed.
Oh where oh where
did my words go?

That is exactly how i feel sometimes when my word document is blank. This was a very clever write and one which made me smile. Great job once again.

Very good!
This short poem really rings true with me! It conveys some of the images and feelings I have had for the past few months! This poem is well worded and flows very well! I don't think I can offer any real constructive criticism, right now! Great job!
