Spallow's Shore Shows Her Grace

How could I know that I could cast a life so complete? Knowing now my past has lost everything, I’ve seen defeat. Part of my life debilitated and taken down by the ocean's tow, I pant in tiny seeds of loneliness, aligning up in pain’s forever row. Root me inside the willows that wither inside of fields of the soot that wallows without the craving a fight to yield. This morn my throat swallows hope, feeling utter healing soon, tonight, by Spallow's shore stardust descends, gazing at the moon
. Stanza 1 How, now, tow, row Cast, past, part, pant Stanza 2 Root, soot, soon, moon Willows, wallows, swallows, Spallow's I used 2 word morph words in each line, I hope it doesn't DQ me. I thought this was a very fun contest. Thank you! "Spallow" is the name of a river by my home. It has the most beautiful shore. Sponsor: Jesse Rowe Word Morph Poetry Contest March 16, 2019
