6 To 8 - a Melody of Sadness

I sing a melody of sadness though the sun shines bright and warm; and without a thought, we carry on. But, beneath sun's rays and warmth, our world faces darkness that chills my heart. Perhaps thrusting towards a final season... be it by terror, war, or climate change. I sing a melody of sadness. Sandra M. Haight ~5th Place~ Contest: 6 To 8 Sponsor: Nette Onclaud October 30, 2017

I am afraid I must say that this should have place much, much higher. It is a wonderful poem and I enjoyed reading it with a prayer over every line. Love the meter. Congratulations on your win.

Oh, Sandra. I can SO relate to this one. I wrote a sonnet long ago on this same topic. I feel that melody so strongly. LOVE this.
