here is my first poem ever:
no rhyme, no song
no right, no wrong
no romance, no love
no kiss, no hug
no fight, no blow
no rain, no snow
no job, no payday
no tomorrow, no yesterday
no smell, no scent
no potent, no impotent
heavily or lightly
gently or softly
no complaint or rant
living in hell with a eggplant.
Aknowledement: Inspired by Steve West and Jessa Lyn. Credit to you guys. I could write because you.

@rocky1980,So awesome descriptions about the realities of life exposed through your poem: struggles, faded love, faded glory, sane fantasy, and cherished moments without love and hope in return

thanks, All through the poem I could not find better place for egg plant, so I thought it would better if it stayed with me in hell.

very well done - I'd have been happy to have written this myself. Your English is better than you think.
