Rhonda Johnson-Saunders Poet Cinquain

Bittersweet Memories

Nostalgia  
Endearing, wistful 
Recalling, longing, reflecting, 
Remembering a cherished time
Beloved

Grief
Sorrowful, tragic
Mourning, desiring, paining 
Torpid from heart’s despair
Loss


for Dr. Ram's Cinquain Poetry Contest, 12/13/14
