Held By Chains

I am searching my soul, and deep in my heart for the me; but all I find is this big gaping hole, my heart held by chains and I have no key. _____________________________ September 20, 2020 Poetry/Rhyme/Held by Chains Copyright Protected, ID 20-1288-213-03 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Excerpt from my poem, My Heart Whispers, posted August 4, 2020 Submitted to the Premier contest, Rithimus Divisa 6 sponsor, Gregory R.

Congratulations on your win in the Rithimus Divisa 6 Premiere Poetry Contest, Constance - I appreciate you taking the time to enter, (I can't believe this has no comments?!?!). This was a contest full of quality, and the placements came down to very small things, indeed - what a joy to read such poetic cream! Blessings, My Friend! :o) <3

Greg, thanks for another great contest and my placement, I know it must be hard to pick just 10 poems. I have lots of poems with no comments, maybe because I post a lot at night or early morning and they disappear off the list, maybe _Constance
