Poem of the Week

- Donor -

                                      The ancient organ groaned
                                             ended the passion
                                          - bitter vinegar tones
                                              pierced the walls
                                           Heart had lost its fire

                                   The prophets rubbed their heads
                                     wisdom at any time and place
                                             Overly high hopes
                                          Resignation found in a
                                             cast iron saucepan
                                     The criteria for organ donors 
                                                    are clear
                                                         ~
                                             Bell tower mourns

Daniel Henry Rodgers June 2, 2024 at 4:46 AM Dearest Anne-Lise, I am back to say your poem is a haunting masterwork that has rightfully earned POTW. Each line packs a punch, culminating in that chilling final line - a true poetic gut-punch. Congratulations on this exceptional achievement! Your talent for distilling life's deepest truths into exquisite verse is simply breathtaking. - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Tania Kitchin June 2, 2024 at 4:34 AM Anne-Lise, a great poem, very creative, congratulations on POTW. -Hugs

Duke Beaufort June 1, 2024 at 11:42 AM Anne-Lise, A layering of musical instrument and biological item. It's very clever. I'm even wondering if the resignation found in the saucepan means that someone is cooking an organ...they are eaten in some places--liver for example. The high hopes one has as a recipient waiting for a life-saving organ creates hope and suspense as you point out, which sometimes ends without a good outcome. Scientists are trying to use pig organs, which could be another saucepan reference. The ethics are not all that clear. You've cooked up a very thought provoking story with this one.

Joseph P. DiMino May 31, 2024 at 5:41 AM Brilliant poetry! Witty and poignant. You get a FAV from me!

Evelyn Judy Buehler May 30, 2024 at 8:22 PM Anne-Lise, your poem is beautiful and witty and funny, too. I love the final note of sadness at the end. Blessings.

Andrea Dietrich May 30, 2024 at 1:04 PM that's so interesting going along with the funny picture. An enjoyable read.
