Cemetery Gate

Cemetery Gate

I enter cemetery’s gate
My tears I cannot see beyond
I hope that it is not to late
I enter cemetery’s gate
In contemplation of my fate
In search of whom I was most fond
I enter cemetery’s gate
My tears I cannot see beyond

I find this very inspiring and so much so, that I think I will attempt a triolet soon. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing and inspiring. Have a great week. :) :) Login to Reply Mark Toney Date: 9/18/2023 10:14:00 AM I am so glad you liked it, Christina, and I appreciate your thoughtful remarks.

Congratulations! :) Login to Reply Mark Toney Date: 8/10/2023 1:36:00 PM Linda, thanks for stopping by with your thoughtful comment. I loved your “Garden’s Glow,” especially since you credit “The Maker's restorative show.”
