Notes About The Poem
Labyrinthine, Languish, Letter Words Poetry Contest. Sponsor - Constance La France. Date written: 11/08/2023

Languish

in a dungeon of grief she used to languish.
her much beloved dog succumbed to cancer;
she got another sooner than expected -

                                                          gifted a puppy.

there's more to this birthday gift than meets the eye;
a more important gift, a key to freedom
as she's no longer confined to grief's prison. -

                                                          her spirits in flight
