Andrea Dietrich Poet Kimo

Serenity's Semblance

serenity’s semblance on her lined  face

as I stoop at the casket

to kiss her pallid cheek

Maurice Yvonne October 17, 2014 at 6:00 PM Another belated congratulations. First I love this form that gives just a few extra syllables than a haiku. It helps create a fuller image/message. This one is perfect.

Reason A. Poteet June 1, 2014 at 4:10 PM Appropriate response to viewing a loved one whom you know well - inspired perhaps by the recent death of Maya Angelou. Interesting use of "semblance" which in some cases could have a negative connotation - Congrats, Andrea.
