Abandoned

` Tattered and torn beneath vines tightly clinging Faded with time lonely hours still bringing Memories die midst a corner concealing Abandoned dreams never more so revealing 9/2/19 Written for: The Free Verse or Rhyme Poetry Contest Sponsor: Eve Roper Photo #3

Congratulations on your first place win - this is such splendid writing. I'm so glad that you are back with your 'light' fully on. Your talent is worth waiting on ... but don't push too much because you and it are both easily missed. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
