About the Poem

This poem is about dreams and disappointments. Something I know a lot about. Trying to learn how to survive in the world on my own. Isn't what I thought it would be like.

Lonesome Dove

by Holly

Underneath the maple tree,
I dream of things I want to be.
Looking up at the sky so blue,
makes me think this could come true.

Smelling of the grass so sweet,
refreshes me with a delightful treat.
Feeling of the bark so rough,
makes me realize its gonna be tough.

To make it in this world alone,
just sitting here like some kind of stone.
No one to love me or me to love,
just all alone, like a Lonesome Dove.

Hi, great poem. But don't be depressed, Holly you are loved. But the reason I found your poem is that yesterday, well sitting in my car reading my homework assignment, with my elbow sticking out the car window, a lone dove (bird) flew by and touched me. I am a superstitious individual and was searching the net for some meaning of this event. This how I came across "Lonesome Dove. " Keep on writing. Thanks for the poem, it helped in other ways. Lorin, thanks again.

I really like your poem and dont give up on yourself because i almost did and then i meet my wonderful boyfriend and then everything changed about my life. Just look it might take a long time but it's worth the time let me tell you it took me 17 years to find him and now that i have him i'm not letting him go. Dont give up on yourself there is always someone out there for you that will treat you right it just takes time. Your poem expresses a lot of things you wrote it so well. Good job

I know what this poem is saying which touch so much. I enjoyed this so much that I called all of my friends to check it out. Holly has a great talent in her and for her to express herself more often just like I do and some day Holly can publish her poems and so the world knows how wonderful this girl is.

This poem is a poem that people can relate too. There is always a time in life when someone feels alone and this poem is a very good example of this time!

I love the poem. I felt the same way for a while until I noticed that there is always someone willing to be there, but the question is knowing that someone is there do you want them to be? Poems awesome i was amazed on how close it was to how I feel. Keep them coming.
