Five Letter Words

After Sara’s sadly death, white doves began chime- Sara’s hubby Brady found hymns, their music began sorry rhyme. Brady seeks prose epics, poems Sara’s heart would savor- Jenny might speak truth about Sara’s pains, maybe she’ll spare vague facts midst favor. Sappy tears sooth Sara’s Grams, angel wings dream hazel light- Three girls plant fancy lilac trees, Mama’s heart broke; gives Brady sight. Every woman cried, every bloke bayed- Papa’s spine flush, Mama’s roots evade. Quiet ocean waves bring death peace, great Sara’s heavy heart shan’t cease. *about a girl Sara I know who took her life. She had a husband named Brady and three daughters* Five Letter Words Contest 435 letters total in this poem 87 words total in this poem Sponsor: Rhoda Tripp December 17, 2017

A sad tale you told with your five letter words, Laura. I saw your remark to Caycay so I wanted to come see what you came up with. It's really cool how you got in the rhyming as well! Not easy to do at ALL!!!

Wow, Laura a truly soulful and heartbreaking write beautifully, sensitively and poetically expressed with emotional eloquence and elegance - and even more impressive still when you consider the word restrictions. Difficult and challenging content for a difficult and challenging contest. Best wishes for a win! ~Susan

Sure doesn't seem like you were overly challenged - you've got more 'guts' in your poem than any I've read thus far. I don't like you anymore! I am only kidding. This is impressive and substantial considering the restriction of words. You done good ... CayCay
