Solitude

[PoetTree]

An inner vortex yawns, swallowing intention.
I collapse inward, compressed into
something dense and dark,
a small mass contained
in heavy silence.

[Delta40]

I rather like this one. It sort of reminds me of a vacuum storage package stowed away in a dark cupboard. That's lonely.

[Buh4Bee]

Like Delta said, this is terrific. Nice little package of surprise. Going there myself.

[blank|verse]

Yes, a good first post, effectively utilizing figurative expressions, even if the theme is one that's a perennial favourite. Good use of form, the way the lines become successively shorter.

[Hawkman]

I agree with all of the above. Welcome to litnet.

This put me in mind of a human-sized black hole. Very effective imagery.
