WOW.....and again.....WOW......Somehow this poem under the pen name Broken Wings is inherently sad but harbors the seed of hope. Thanks for this one. After reading it I fell silent and reflective.

Interesting how a sad and broken heart can form poetry of beauty. Already I begin to feel saddened and subdued from reading this piece. Your sad but talented child poet is described very clearly.

Full of sincere emotion and very beautiful indeed in its lyricism, Constance. I really dig the way you repeat some of the same front words of lines. This is a form called Blitz? very interesting one! I'm sure Thomas will love it.

Another deeply emotive write, BW. Sad writes seem to be where your muse is at her most creative. I just wish the sadness will go away. Good luck in the contest! Kim
