Constance La France Poet Sonnet

My Heart Is Shattered

'Let Him Who Is Without Sin Cast the First Stone.’

The Bible, John 8:7
____________________________________

I have a great sadness deep within me,
there is a disappointment in my soul;
I am weeping with tears to fill a sea,
for a person who it is said-   has stole.

Many say they know for sure of the guilt,
and if true that is sadly a disgrace;
for stolen words, phrases, poems will wilt,
why friend, you have your own words to embrace.

My heart is shattered and lays quite tattered,
I am unsure-   I am lost in the dark;
my emotions and feelings are scattered,
I must let go and fly away a lark.

Oh how? My lost friend can I throw a stone;
when no one is perfect if it be known!

Connie Marcum Wong February 14, 2020 at 12:35 AM You convey the hurt beautifully Constance. I have had that happen to me and I confronted each of them, there were three and they removed them. They are still here, but I hope they have learned from the experience. Congratulations on this beautiful winning poem! xxoo Constance La France February 14, 2020 at 9:22 AM Connie, thanks for the congratulations and the compliment on my poem, yes it is heartbreaking when this happens and you thought the person was a poetic friend _Constance

John Gondolf February 8, 2020 at 8:04 AM Congrats on your win, Constance. It is always sad when I hear that someone has taken another's words and claimed them for their own. Hugs, John Constance La France February 8, 2020 at 11:37 PM John, thanks for the congrats, and even sadder when that person did not need to steal words for their own words were beautiful _Constance

Carolyn Devonshire February 7, 2020 at 11:33 AM Dear Heart, I've heard of poets stealing work here and I can't imagine what it would feel like if they'd stolen mine. When they are exposed, they leave the site. It's a shame we have to say goodbye to some of these friends. Your topic is unique and I love the way you conveyed your message. Congrats on your win, Hon! Hugs, Carolyn Constance La France February 7, 2020 at 12:57 PM Carolyn, thanks for the congrats and compliment on my writing, sadly when I wrote this, a poet friend was being accused of stealing poems, I do not know if this is true but it was said there was proof and it shattered my heart and still does _Constance

Emile Pinet February 7, 2020 at 11:22 AM Congratulations Constance! Your poem earned a distinguished place in my contest. This contest was very tough to judge, for I was very strict, well done my friend, Emile. Constance La France February 7, 2020 at 12:59 PM Emile, thank for so much for the honor of a win in your contest, I know how difficult it must be to judge so that makes it even more meaningful to me _Constance

Frederic Parker December 30, 2019 at 4:36 PM I hope what I have read is only a sonnet written for a contest and not a truth of words stolen Constance La France December 30, 2019 at 6:40 PM Frederic, thanks for visiting my poem. My piem is for a contest but sadly my words and sadness is real - Constance
