In a roaring ocean of grief, she plunged in. A widow, she's a hodgepodge of emotions; Caged all alone in melancholy's dungeon. Day in, day out she's going through the motions. Bereft, her composure is barely intact. In mourning; a shell fragmenting on impact. The loss of her spouse has left her in tatters. Quite feeble, a fragile glass that could shatter.

This is such a poignant and deeply emptive poem dead EI, i felt the loss and grief that you’ve described here so seamlessly, caged all alone in melancholy. What a profound way to describe it all! I felt this poem! And youv made this form look so easy to do too! Love it’ best wishes for the contest

That is a heavy loss to bear--emotions well conveyed, Edward--in this difficult to execute form..
