Tainted Tears

Tainted Tears What lurks inside a single tear? Look closely and you shall find Polluted waters of yesteryear Daunting dreams that remind Look closely and you shall find Sacrificial streams of love lost Daunting dreams that remind Sinking ships within a frigid frost Sacrificial streams of love lost Incipient illusions of life so real Sinking ships within a frigid frost Camouflaging calamities conceal Incipient illusions of life so real Polluted waters of yesteryear Camouflaging calamities conceal What lurks inside a single tear?

Winged Warrior, you so artfully pose such an intriguing question; 'What lurks inside a single tear?' Your sadly beautiful pantoum is deeply expressive of loss. Elegant and poignant! Warmest wishes, my friend. ~Susan

I have never attempted a Pantoum Wingy, but this is a very fitting form for your passionate write. Its certainly different, never thought of analyzing a single tear, but a friend of mine used to say, trap the first tear, it is the purest of all. Good luck on this winning write my friend....Maria

Oh man, Winged. This is now one of my favorite Pantoums. Very awesome write. Sorry I haven't been around much. I'll have to remedy that very soon.
