Frederic Parker Poet Free verse

Sadness Unsayable

A sad hole of darkness

my constant companion since childhood

walks with empty hands of why

on its lonely road, where my soul cries

this sparrow sits and bends its head down

in quiet disbelief, to face unwelcomed rain

as the days rush by in a shadowed black

Andrea Dietrich November 22, 2017 at 12:52 PM oh that is so good, Frederic. I want to try this challenge but I have to think what to use for a theme. I like the sadness theme myself. It is often such an unsayable type of thing and you really SHOWED it to us with your poem.
