Jagged

“We are all broken, but sometimes the jagged pieces fit together nicely.” - Paul Acampora Jagged scars mar her soul, She drinks jagged tears, Jagged pain stains her whole life throughout the years; Jagged cries dye her night, She sings jagged songs, Jagged thoughts blot her light, For some peace, she longs; Jagged dread threads her dreams, She writes jagged rhymes, Jagged clouds shroud sunbeams, These are darkened times... Jagged hope ropes its way, She risks jagged smiles, Jagged love shoves all grey, She's crossed many miles; Jagged heart starts to beat, She's found jagged joy, Jagged pray'rs bear her feet, E'en death can't destroy; Jagged roads strode, she soared, Now, pens happy songs, Jagged no more, restored, To Christ, she belongs.

What a truly beautiful poem Joanna so wonderful written. The reader gets drawn in more and more with each stanza. Great rhyming. ‘ Jagged cries dye her night’ ‘ Jagged dread threads her dreams’ wonderfully poetic. I love this. Glad to discover a happy ending ‘ Jagged no more, restored’. Lovely! Good luck in the contest. Hope it does well. Hugs and smiles xx :):)

I loved the 'jagged' imagery you created and I liked how she was jagged no more. An upbeat ending that gives all of us jagged folks hope. A powerful creation. Have a pleasant evening, Sara
