Unwritten Absence
Poetry Contest
Sponsored by: Ink Empress

1st place in the contest

Sound of a rusted gate weeping deaf tears hopelessness in a coconut shell Chilly by autumn's absence of sunshine the wings are tired from headwinds Don't want to face another winter a reminder that the blizzard stealing another year and treats us harshly Past storms have come and gone The voice is dulled with sorrow and gloom Cracks in the clouds are unwritten Time to replace that which was lost Mother's firstborn child a little angel No prayer or curse, heart is still beating

I felt the sorrow and all the emotions flowing throughout your lines so well phrased and articulated. A poignant and moving write that left me in awe: i especially loved the lines “ cracks in the clouds are unwritten “ “ and those last three lines.:: hits home! So evocative !

Great poem, Anne-Lise… I love the change of the seasons, but i totally get about the winter. I am not looking forward to shovel snow and driving like a turtle or the chills that sip through my bones. Lol. Good luck in the contest. :)

I can well understand the anxiety you feel as your Northern winter approaches. I doubt I would survive in such coldness. Great poem though. Loved your scenes in poetic form.
