Eve Roper Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Overcome By Life

The unfolding of a bleak mid-night moon, 
Formidable, throbbing, ghostly gray cloud, 
Swirling in rage, with wordless eerie croon; 
Affecting considerable angst shroud. 

Ravens frenzy, divergence flutter coup 
Through impenetrable tangle of trees.
Sinful, depressed, slate shadows wily drew, 
Leaden silk veil amid deceptive ease. 

Pinion she lies there, a dismal, frail frame.
Fragments of her life evanesce apace; 
Consume by repugnant stanch, it laid claim. 
Crumbling world turn upside down, fearful place. 

Neath celestial heaven alone she lies,
Looking up, overcome by life, with leaden eyes.
