Pieces of Poems…--By Richard Sponaugle--United States

Pieces of Poems…

pop in my mind;
instant inspiration plucked
from international headlines,
mixed with mundane vignettes
from my subconscious.
I wrote poems to impress Pam,
now I write them
to forget her.

Richard Sponaugle was born 4-20-60 in Maryland and raised in Northern Virginia.  He received a BA from George Mason University.  A prolific poet and songwriter, he has been published in many venues.

  1. Awwwww! Didn't expect the last three lines. Sad - there is always a light at the end of that dark tunnel - have faith...

  2. Dear Richard

    Just string us along until - boom! Great poem. I'm sorry if it's at the sacrifice of a loss. Life is just cruel at time - yes?

    love,
    Kathy

  6. And it's alright, Richard! I think all that says is that you've grown not only as a poet but as a person as well! Well done!

    Rick,

    I see others enjoyed the twist at the end as much as I did. Clever poem. Thank you for sharing it for Whispers. Keep up the good writing.
