Budding Writers

We ... write to heighten our own awareness of life ...
We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection ...
we write to be able to transcend our life, to reach beyond it ...
to teach ourselves to speak with others, to record the journey into the labyrinth ...
to expand our world, when we feel strangled, constricted, lonely ...
when I don't write I feel my world shrinking. I feel I lose my fire, my color.
-- Anaïs Nin

Nebulous Poem - from Vergil

This is my contribution to the Nebulous theme. This poem uses the "cinquain" pattern, where each verse has 5 lines, and there is a specific number of syllables per line. The first line has 2 syllables, then 4, 6, 8 and finally 2 syllables per line respectively.
(It's easy and I don't have to rhyme it!)

Cloudy,
Floating through the
Day, feeling nebulous,
Misty, light-headed and listless,
Thinking.

Thinking,
Dreaming about
Nothing and everything,
Gazing at faces and hoping
For you.

For you
Just might appear
Out of the blue, just like
It happened to me the day when
You left.

You left
Without warning
Not even a note of
Goodbye; and now all I feel is
Cloudy

Cloudy,
Floating through the
Day, feeling nebulous,
Misty, light-headed and dreaming
Of you.
