Notes About The Poem

Photograph by Broken Wings

Fallen, Fallen

I have fallen, fallen into sadness,
Why did you leave me, my beloved?
You were my hero but you drove too fast,
     Since your death, I have fallen into poetry.

Duke Beaufort Date: 11/30/2015 7:50:00 PM Hmmm. More sadness pouring in on and flowing through a golden soul. You have the experience and desire to express your sadness with such real images. You also produce many. This is a talent I admire. A never ending stream. I am in a state of creativity shutdown. I may have an idea, but am too distracted to write. However, I am lucky to ponder some of these streams of sadness. Thank-you for being so true--it is so clear.
