Shadow footprint of yesterday When hand-in-hand along the shore Betrayal waves washed all away Grains of love lost forevermore A crimson sunset disappears Shadow footprint of yesterday Misty eyes blink to hold back tears Heart breakers never have a say Temptress of life without grace Harvest of hurt hid deep within Shadow footprint of yesterday This Heart will never love again Loneliness endless and wanton Pain of love left to permeate Fleeting sorrow not forgotten Shadow footprint of yesterday April 11, 2018 April 23, 2018 - Ten Word Contest By Joseph May - Poem Form - Quatern - Words: Crimson Forgotten Grace Harvest Love Misty Shadow Shore Tempest Yesterday N/A April 30, 2018 - Any Rhyming Poem in April Contest By Laura Loo Seventh Place August 6, 2018 - CONTEST NO 475 By Brian Strand First Place

You've written a poem of such lovely melancholy, Susan. Your emotional lost love imagery is poignant and the graceful refrain is hauntingly beautiful. Congratulations on your wonderful placement in Laura's contest. I didn't realize until after I read the poem that it was written with required words for another contest - your poem is so smooth that the mandated words melt seamlessly into the gorgeous tapestry of your write.. Warmest wishes. ~Susan

Never would have known that this was for a contest with actual restraints---as this flows seamlessly and wondrously from image to image, all anchored by the haunting 'shadowy footprint.' Bravo! Remarkable poem! :) gw

Don't know what a quatern is but I figure it might be the 4 lines..."Shadow footprint of yesterday" used in 4 stanzas...Enjoyed it...All the best...
