Chandelier

Beauty Echoes of tears Seem suspended in time Encapsulation of sadness They fall Bleakness A tear stained face Hauntingly beautiful Forever held in the minds eye Standstill Bereft View emotion Needs human connection Tears for now frozen, you are held Cared for Traditional Cinquain Poetry Contest 14th April 2023 Sponsored by: Sotto Poet

So creative with your innovative picture of tears like a chandelier of frozen teardrops. Congratulations on your win DD. This is a very powerful picture of compassion - "tears for now frozen, you are held, cared for!" Love so beautifully painted. Blessings!

I'd done 'chandelier/tears of the stoic' as call and response poetry and wanted to continue to play with the idea. Glad you like it :)
