Margarita Lillico Poet Rhyme

Cracked Not Broken

Fate did not concur with a peaceful pact, 
Of Miranda rights I was unaware, 
Unpleasantry presented as a fact, 
No compass 'round a minefield, unprepared. 
 
Tenebrous was my search for the path out, 
Of dull maze, where Monarch of Darkness reigned, 
Dispensing wholesome handouts of self doubt, 
Quelling my quest for exit in restraint. 

I since encountered magic in a quill, 
Rewrote my destiny's lustreless plot: 
Clean slate, new chapter, and ebullient will - 
Cracked and crumpled, yet broken it was not.

Daniel Turner March 8, 2023 at 1:48 PM Who says poetry doesn't have the power to heal. Great write, Maggie. I use it for therapy, myself. Margarita Lillico March 8, 2023 at 1:55 PM Me too, healing you is healing me! I’m glad you like it.

Robert Johnson March 8, 2023 at 8:52 AM You have a brave evocative evasive pen. Leaving the reader to be able to truly accompany you on a journey of self discovery. Margarita Lillico March 8, 2023 at 9:08 AM And that is so eloquently said, thank you for stopping by!
