"Every secret memory, every experience in life, and every thought can be written within the words of a poem. " by _Constance Life is full of storms with lightning and wind, and sometimes it seems that I struggle blind; yet, those same storms have made me who I am, where grief and life in poetry- has twined ! Since so young I have been writing inclined, and this journey comes with no diagram; down a long road my beloved- I find, my sister, dad, my child, a mom so kind ! I began this life an innocent lamb, yet, my purpose was soon to be defined; as writing my sorrow brings peace of mind, oh, I wish writing came with a program ! I started my "career" writing kid tales, stories about my cat and many dolls; I even wrote them on my bedroom walls ! But, in time my writing had deep details, and to this day this life passion prevails; though, somedays my muse and my pen just crawls ! When I am stumped- seems a nature theme calls; blowing to me on misty gauzy veils ! _________________________ November 20, 2020 Poetry/Sonnet/My Words Echo in the Win Copyright Protected, ID 11-1305-107-20 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France (Dantes Sonnet Variation/ Rhyme AABAABAABAAB CDDCCDDC) Written for the Standard Contest, Winds of Change Sonnet sponsor, John Hamilton, Judged 11/2020 Second Place ________________ Submitted to the Standard contest, Sonnet's Salutation sponsor, William Kekaula.
