Russell Sivey Poet Rondeau

Sympathy

With depression her heart does sink
Her companion comes in eye blink
Without a word that she does say
Compassion is shown both this way
No words are shared, no given ink

Puppy holds her heart in a wink
Her face carries not such a drink
This punishment in prime of day
With depression

She seems to be in state of think
From her imagination brink
She sits there sadly not to lay
Dog's on her shoulder that he may
Bring companionship, nothing pink
With depression

Contest: Briton Riviere

Isaiah Zerbst July 18, 2013 at 6:37 PM It was so interesting to see the different takes on "Sympathy"; all different, yet bound together by the painting. I enjoyed your words on the sadness of the child and the sympathy of the pup.
