Notes About The Poem

Haven Poetry Contest. Sponsored by: Constance La France 

Haven

By Poet.... "Haven hide me safe and sound. Far away from this cruel world. Give me peace of mind and body."

The story of my haven,
as I ran from the huge raven.
Was I living in a cave-in?
Life's pictures have been hung with a cloth pin.
The huge raven represents life,
the cave-in represents midlife.
Where did life go?
Time had no flow,
no more glow.
All the time I was low,
I just wanted to live and to grow.
Hiding in my safe haven covered with snow,
I now watch TV and a new game show.
