I, thus drowned in death's cold wake Eyes wept bare for breath's last sake Not then seen, 'midst blood and loss How my heart, thru grief, could break. ~ 2nd Place ~ in the "Let The Pens Flow - Jueju" Poetry Contest, Jenish Somadas, Judge & Sponsor.

Pure poetry. I found this challenge extra hard because of the one-syllable word constraint. Every time you think of the perfect word or phrase, think again! Those multi-syllable words are always there. You did great with this challenge. Sometimes I think you must have the vocab and total recall of a robot! I always love reading the Bard, and this is no exception. Well done!
