Broken Unsayable

a strange world after life in the womb eager to grow , curious to see, running on energy the bell tolls as the pages turn battered by weather and wrinkled broken teeth, broken heart, deaf ears, soul all unrecognizable Growing old broken! 11/23/2017

You could not have expressed it any better, Eve! The most we can do is patching up, but eventually tear & wear will have their say:) Congratulations on your high-flying win. Hugs // paul

Wow! Eve, such a striking and beautifully expressed poem. I love the contrast between the first and second stanza, and the ominous tone of foreshadowing in your third line.. This is a stirring and soul-baring write.. best wishes for a win ~Susan

How dramatic, Eve! This is raw, gritty and heavy. Very good writing. It is so hard hitting that I must go read the contest, you have me intrigued. Whatever it stipulates, this is a winner to me. Hugs (so good to read you again, its hard catching up!) ... CayCay
