From Anchorage to Zebulon: In Search of Missed Connections
Untitled by Anthony Fine
You ordered Chinese.
You left me on the side.
You said you didn’t like me.
I was torn open and I fell on the floor.
I laid there for a few days.
I became stale and soft.
Then you stepped on me.
Now I am in pieces.
You left me for a few days
You said you didn’t like me stale and soft
I was torn open
I laid there and ordered Chinese.
For love lost and never found
for forgiveness undeserved
I crave rebirth
For the love of you
I stand against the everlasting crash
of slaughtering waves
For the love unrequited
I wait on the threshold of Eden
Not wanting to be denied
For Love.

Her Two CentsA few months back I started following a few of the Craigslist Missed Connection fora in Europe. They don’t receive nearly as much traffic as the major cities in the US, but this recently found short love poem from London made me hope that more may be forthcoming. The link to the Deep Underground Poetry wiki is worth investigating – they’ve been around since 1999 and are still active. Post a poem, get feedback, and then share it on the London MC – it could use a little creativity boost!
