Remission, at last, found its way into my heart and with grace my soul was kissed. Turned page on the past, yet I dwell, despite new start, on the sunsets that I missed. ------------------------------------------- [This Modern Sedoka poem consists of 6 lines of 5-7-7-5-7-7 syllables, and it has an ABCABC rhyme scheme.] 16th January, 2016 Contest: Sedoka (Rhyming) Sponsor: Laura Loo Placed 1st
