Notes About The Poem

 

Honourable Mention 

Brian Strand's Poetry Contest

Judged: 19th March, 2025

Bleak

come
back heart
into arms 
that are nonsense
since your departure-
where will I lodge revenge
should I punch the ether out
victimize the ozone layer
what world will be mine in your passing~
as grey as the grave that robbed me reckless

Nice poem, it seems like a bleak, and futile feeling.

I did a retake on this one. Thanks for the new title!

Yeah. It is :(. It was inspired by a recent death, a friend who lost his wife suddenly, just a few days before Valentine's.
