Jan Allison Poet Fibonacci

Photograph Frame

I
miss 
you darling.
Our wedding photo
stares at me from its silver frame.
I lovingly stroke your face, wishing it were for real.
Terminal cancer tore you from my arms, but you live in my heart till the day I die.

Andrea Dietrich January 26, 2017 at 9:02 PM Sad one, Jan. I think this form is making poets come up with some great writes! Of course "real" is one syllable. Those syllable counters are NUTSOS

Chris Green January 26, 2017 at 3:15 PM Sadness in inked emotions drips from your pen my friend. This one was heart aching and deeply lonely feeling to me. You have used this poetic form perfectly. Much luck Jan. Jan Allison January 26, 2017 at 6:18 PM Thanks Chris I think this shows I can deviate from poop a little for a more serious write:-) hugs Jan xx
