Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

My Broken Heart Will Never Mend Emotive Write

Tears fall; they cannot mask my pain
grief embedded so deep in my heart.
My stillborn babe, in death he’ll remain
our whole world has just fallen apart.

Carole Duet May 24, 2019 at 4:00 PM Oh Jan, this makes me want to cry too. Beautiful and yet so sad. So glad it's just "fictional". Congrats on your placement in the contest .

Rico Leffanta April 26, 2019 at 6:56 PM Your first line captured my attention; how can tears fall without diluting the pain? Good luck in the contest! Aloha! Rico

Connie Marcum Wong April 24, 2019 at 4:57 PM I am so glad this is fictional Jan. Losing a child at any age embeds the worst kind of pain. Beautifully poignant and should do wonderfully in the contest. xxoo
