Constance La France Poet Fibonacci

Notes About The Poem

Beneath the Ivy

Things
change
just fall
to shadows
of distant sweet dreams
God seems to be far, far away
the memories of my dead family are fading
I want to hold onto these distant things and memories, so I struggle to keep them

My
heart 
broken
love is gone
lost in distant time
I want to be wrapped in his arms
our hands entwined and listening to his heart beating
I need my baby-my mom-my dad and have tea with my grandma and hug my sister

I
want
all these
distant things
oh, can I hold them
and hide them beneath the ivy
protected and eternal and forever with me
distant things we did and precious memories, all hidden under the ivy, twining

Andrea Dietrich June 12, 2016 at 5:31 PM an amazing poem, Constance, and form you chose was SO cool for the pattern it made here. Congrats on a wonderful win.

John Lawless June 12, 2016 at 4:54 PM Well Constance, thank you for this entry and the lesson I learned on the Fibonacci form while checking its validity. Beautifully done, the line breaks served as gentle breaths or sighs guiding the reader through the emotion of each line. Thanks for participating in the contest.
