Acrostic: Empty
.
E M P T Y
Every night they go into town
Maidens in their red and white gowns
Plenty of go gauges show
'Til on corner they know
You now know -- their springs have run down
......................... (Wind them up)

Yes, I like this one much better!
Thanks for all the nice comments, too, Jim. And happy birthday on Saturday...almost Halloween. Mine (68) won't be until December.
Take care and have a good weekend!
I read the poem before I saw the photo. I was wondering what 'they' would be.
I agree with Rebecca.
The emotions are so well expressed in Alone.
another fun acros from you...well, limericks must be written with humor, the rule says...:-)
have you stopped writing for OSI Jim?
you must be busy! :-)
Jim I had to smile at this one ... you can take it both ways ... empty trucks and empty pro?
Sorry it took me so long to get here .. I am playing catch up whenever I get the energy.
