Aqua Marine Poet Sonnet

Hidden In the Hold

To bear with aplomb an existential
need to grieve unpurposed loss is unkind.
Enmesh in secret space and tragic thrall,
silver threads of death's hairsbreadth, small in mind...
So much improper placement now needed
to board up hidden pain's implosive thuds-
Footfalls on heart's walls now go unheeded.
And a slippery slope's where emotion's mud
drowns and buries sorrow's shuddered spats.
Feelings embalmed in cold- hearted reasons,
Tears' release now has no welcoming mat.
"For the best." Covers death in all seasons.

And yet grief's instinctive power to heal
becomes more powerful with freedom to feel...

Silent One September 28, 2017 at 10:17 AM This is a very good sonnet that flows well, however, lines A and C need to rhyme.... Aqua Marine September 28, 2017 at 10:54 AM Aaah, Thank you for the critique, Silent One- I will sort that out. I enjoy that you arent afraid to " correct" my work.I am trying to improve my writing, so I am open to suggestions...Thank you! :-) (((Hugs)))
