"a dagger of pain, a tear of grief" Quote by _Constance La France The grieving soul cannot let go true and unpleasant reality Fear of losing my mind a bitter nectar that burns the lips Shattered by disappointment and betrayal sharp tinkling shards of glass footprint paints bloody streaks - brushes through the pain Ceramic tears under merciless screams Weakness as jelly trembling cold breath one feels so insignificant Night's disguise strings for shadowy marionettes - death of the full moon 16.05.2023 Anne-Lise Andresen Copyright © All Rights Reserved - A Quotes - Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France - Poem of the Day : 17.05.2023 - 1st place in the contest

Anne-Lise, this is a remarkable picture of grief in "ceramic tears," "tinkling shards" and "death of the full moon!" Remarkable writing, so impactful like a grey winter day on a f! The marionette image and personification is truly inspired. Can't believe I missed your POTD! Congratulations on your POTD and having this poem among the top BNP's! Hugs and blessings!

Strikingly poignant description of the inner landscape of a tortured soul. Very painful as being pierced by a dagger. When even the full moon appears as dead, one can imagine the mental state. Congratulations Anne on your POTD. Hugs !
