Image result for fantasy pic angels crying

A lovely woman in the night, forlorn, holds in her hand a rose; pale is her face against the backdrop of a storm just born. Amidst loud thunder, she shows only grace. She wears on her left arm the picture of a heart. Indelible, it’s a tattoo, the emblem of enduring faithful love. Dark wings surround her, for to earth she flew. She is an angel, but a fallen one, forced out of heaven gate, for she could not resist a man! The other angels shun her now because a mortal’s love she sought. Her paradise she’s lost. Has her revolt been worth it? Toward her streaks a lightening bolt! Written Aug. 19, 2017; inspired by Laura Loo's Fallen Angel Contest

Andrea, i also like this poem and the description of her and the storm. I was struck by the last line, but I have to think she thought it was worth it. Best to you, Beverly Read

I love this poem, Andrea. Out of the few Fallen Angel poems I've read (and they all were very good) this is the best. That lightning bolt ending is what makes this such a memorable poem. Excellent poetry, dear. Love and joy.

I would say it is not worth it.. Would you want to be an angle, full of celestial light or be like humans, all they do is seem to fight.. I liked your intelligent take on this contest.. Hope you are well and in good health.. Peace and blessings.
