A Lone Tear

In the mist of time comes a lone tear- I lingered so weary with longing . . . it was in deep autumn of the year; the maple leaves were burnt red and falling, at your stone cold grave- I stood crying. ___________________________ August 27, 2012 Poetry/Quintain (English)/A Lone Tear Copyright Protected, ID 08-416-516-27 All Rights Reserved, 2012, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Reality sponsor, Nathan D, Judged 06/07/2013 Second Place Submitted to the Premier Contest 165 sponsor, Brian Strand, NA, Judged 08/29/2012
