Ann Gilmour Poet Than-Bauk

Sad To Die Alone - Than-Bauk

Lived on her own
dear sweet Joan, was
not known to moan

One day felt weak
bones did creak, Joan
so meek and mild

Joan fell at home
broke her bone - died
as lone soul soared

Carolyn Devonshire February 11, 2019 at 5:56 AM Ann, your lovely Than Bauk reminds me of a dear friend who died at home. I never learned the cause, but suspect she was suffering from a broken heart. Congratulations on your first-place win in Charlie's contest. Hugs, Carolyn Ann Gilmour February 14, 2019 at 12:14 AM Such a sad tale Carolyn.
