Notes About The Poem

10 Lines, 5 Words

They came with pink flowers-
     (PAGES of the Bible fluttered)
tears-   were  f a l l i n g  like feathers,
                 and I, heard their  W H I S P E R S -
Snow fell . . .  a blizzard blurred.

The sound of prayer murmurs-
     (FLOWERS wilt and decay tattered)
oh-  the terrible  l a m e n t i n g  lingers,
                  and death, never ever  S T I R S -
The headstone . . . beloved daughter remembered.
