Her Rocky Garden

Broken rocky garden, overgrown, torn Bending her splintered hope, divided pain Token throwaway cuts, discarded scorn Spending relief's pennies, enticing rain Spoken dulcet song, kindness softly born Tending today's seeds for tomorrow's gain Still plant optimism in future Mays Will grant definition to her last days. 6/16/19 For Rima Ottava contest Sponsor: charles messina

I like how this poem moves from 'broken' to 'healed.' Nicely done, Michelle. Here's to a heavenly garden. Best wishes, Gershon
