Remnants

remains of romance
bone-brittle and winter-cold
white-ribboned wedding photos -
sunlit elation
reflecting a love so new
that first heat-heady summer

my engagement ring -
crystal-wept diamond tears
studding the stark, starless night
aquamarine eyes
crying love's loss silently
in one bleak, frost-framed moment






by Charlotte Puddifoot
'The Secondhand Emotion' contest

    remembering a vow to God can be so much a chastening rod. taking the lose that we must take could cover a big misstake. for who's to say the next will be better. does lust and desire make things better? i wonder what will be of good use? stark reality or Dr. Ruth? and if all else fails whats the use. john

    Oh, yes, hot hot and then cold cold. Well, done Charlotte. Emotion-full and image-plenty. I hope, fictional :-( If factual, you seem like someone, from your poetry, who though sensitive, could survive floods, fires and famines. Hope this places high- a place it deserves. Cheers, Cyndi
