Listen to poem:
A lorn woman sits at the windowpane, Working firmly, she knits wool, not in vain. As she darns, she recalls tales from the past, Her touch grooves slyly as the yarn is cast. Vases and green plants decorate the room, Their vibrant shadows animate and bloom. Her gaze drifts beyond, amid the lush green, A strange settle where her heart was serene. Her hands clasp a cozy baby sweater, A sign of brightness, a pledge to fetter. Longs for her son, innocuous and pure, Frame flesh full by filling it with demure. However, the years have passed and gone by, Leaving her with lifelong musings that sway. Her kids are grown and have their lives to live, Leaving her down while in a lifelong strive. By the window, she snoops the world goes by, Yearning for companionship a smooth sigh. She weaves her story into every thread, A witness to her strength and inner dread.

You chose the picture that for me would be the most difficult. It's the only one where she would be talking to herself, I guess. Well done

You gave her lonely rumination a feeling and voice, my friend. Fact of life as people age--memories offer comfort dwelling in times gone by.

Dear Sotto- what a captivating read. You never fail to amaze me with your immense rhyming skills and expressive, exquisite words that weave so beautifully to tell magnificent stories and scenes that come alive from the page. One can feel the reminiscent loneliness of this woman and the yearning to recapture days that have long past. I love the last two lines especially. Very poignant. Wonderfully conveyed. Loved it! Good luck in the contest with this endearing, poetic read. Blessings to you.

A beautiful entry for the contest. The moment a contest is announced you are ready with an instant poem as poetry waits at your quill. Darning gives the old woman time to get engaged and be lost in memories of the past. Your observant eyes have registered every detail of the room where she sits. All the Best dear friend.
