Frederic Parker Poet Free verse

Buried

when dark loneliness wrapped around my soul
and held tight to the chill of my desire
leaving me a draught wormwood
that lay rotting in the murky ground...of time passing

Susan Ashley September 21, 2019 at 8:30 AM The hopeless depths of one’s dark despair and desolation is portrayed with tragic brilliance in your exceptional poem, dear poet. Best wishes for a win and warmest wishes for you.. ~Susan
