Sandra Haight Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Seventeen Is the Lucky Number

Strength Of Sorrow


From one to ten, my strength of sorrow's high.

     Incidental- for loving kin or friend,

          my empath is a weakness, and I ply

aura of weeping willow- in the end,

     lamenting veneration- my godsend.

               Idyllic is my heart- I'll surely cry

supine upon my bed with each goodbye.
