Eve Roper Poet Free verse

Broken Unsayable

a strange world after life in the womb
eager to  grow , curious to see,  running on energy
the bell tolls as the pages turn 

battered by weather and wrinkled
broken teeth, broken heart, deaf ears,
soul all unrecognizable


Growing old broken!

CayCay Godwin November 23, 2017 at 11:06 PM How dramatic, Eve! This is raw, gritty and heavy. Very good writing. It is so hard hitting that I must go read the contest, you have me intrigued. Whatever it stipulates, this is a winner to me. Hugs (so good to read you again, its hard catching up!) ... CayCay Eve Roper November 24, 2017 at 10:16 AM Thank you, Cay Cay, I'm not truly sure of the process, but had to write it. Hate getting old!
