Constance La France Poet Tanka

Notes About The Poem

Baby Boy In Blue

I dreamt a sad dream
he had on soft blue booties
even angels wept
as his coffin was lowered
     forever    my broken   heart

Andrea Dietrich May 14, 2016 at 5:54 PM a very emotional one, Constance. I got very few sad ones in the contest, and this was very lovely in its portrayal of the lost son. Congrats in my contest. (love how the last line explains your Broken Wings name as well, because it's so much of what your poetry is all about).
