Francine Roberts Poet Couplet

Daisy Chains

We make daisies into a chain.
Giggling, laughing, it starts to rain.
We lift our faces to the sky
and soon we're drenched, you and I.

I close my eyes for a moment , brief.
Opening them I'm consumed with grief.
My heart is pounding in the dark night.
Gone is my child, the meadow, the light.

Only in dreams do you come to me.
In morning light my tears run free.
I long for sleep to see you again.
Only my dreams bring relief from pain.

Joann Grisetti October 5, 2012 at 7:03 PM I see what Debbie meant, it does want to be a sonnet. You have a good turning point (volta) and an alternate viewpoint from the start. Much better than most of my attempts.

John Loving Iii October 4, 2012 at 6:35 PM I feel deeply about this piece and can relate to it. But not as a mother.

Linda-Marie Sweetheart October 4, 2012 at 5:01 PM touching write Francine .. a lilting beginning to a solemn ending .. so creative and winning wishes luv .. in dreams we all can imagine good things ..

Pace Ink-U-Script October 4, 2012 at 12:13 PM This is sooo touching...excellent write!!

Debbie Guzzi October 3, 2012 at 3:05 PM So heart wretching! Give us 2 more lines and make it a sonnet [it told me it wants to be one ;)] hmmm use lines 9 & 10 as the last two and give 11 & 12 two more lines? Of course it is fine just how it is..I'm just babbling HUGS Light & Love

Andrea Dietrich October 3, 2012 at 2:47 PM wow, I wrote a sonnet one time about daisy chains and losing an old friend to death. I often see you on my own wave length. Marvelous poem.

Sara Kendrick October 1, 2012 at 4:31 PM I can feel your pain in this one..Very emotive work..I hope just a work and not an actual happening in your life..Sara

Cynthia Alvez September 27, 2012 at 8:14 PM Ah! A beautiful verse, even in its sadness. May the good memories bring you a special kind of peace some day as you recall those joyful, sweet memories you write about here. Peace and love! Cynthia
