Notes About The Poem

Frozen Tears by Jim Richey

- Even Tears Freeze -

Cold,
numb 
In my
deep depths of
vanished existence
Runs in darkness without a goal
I never resting, goes in opposite directions
Unknown in wilderness without qualification, even tears freeze to ice crystals

Bravo, Sunshine. This is such a different style from you and one senses the pain that emanates from each line. Excellent writing, dear. Congratulations on your first-place win in Dear Heart's contest. Hugs, Carolyn

Unbelievable to me how you fit 21 syllables on the last line. I could not finish mine last night because of that!!

- I will look for your suggestion ... a difficult line :)
