I recede deep into the hall
Of rusty memories.
Remembering you.
A surge of emotion
A ocean of tears
Waves crashing on my eyelids
Regret
Trivial word wars.
Tormented by your
significant absence
I wait
Hoping
to see you again

Very nice, Richard, I like what you did with the prompt words. I especially like the phrase, “waves crashing on my eyelids” – awesome phrasing here. I can feel the pent up emotion in this write, well done. ~ Julie Catherine
I like how you’ve naturally woven the suggested words into your poem.
This piece has an ebb and flow of intense emotion. I forgot it was a prompt! Well done…I hope it is not auto-biographical, but poetry this genuine often is.
Great poem! Loved the “hall of rusty memories,” I think many of us have one of those.
Wow, nice use of the words! Reads very naturally.
One can feel the emotion here. Well done. I love your sky photo!
Your tears are mine tonight. Thank you for sharing.
I can really empathise with the sadness. What a creative use of words!
