- the Game Is Over -

I know her shoelaces do not have loops
They may be used as spaghetti in soups
A girl who dreams, are tired of getting hurt
Each kiss and hug felt right, but she kept alert

Her words on paper, dreams of a better place
A frustrating feeling has participated in the game with grace
Accepting does not mean losing hope, the eagle is flying high
Her eyes were always smiling, now she whispers goodbye

Freddie Robinson Jr. Date: 8/28/2017 6:41:00 PM A gorgeous poem, Anne-Lise. So well crafted and w/plenty of emotional depth and heft. The woman's plight moves the reader to tears (of joy too.) Your graceful pen writes again. Lovely poetry. Love and peace always.
