Sara Kendrick Poet Sonnet

Tears In Jars

Warm soft comfortable surrounded here
Splish, splash bouncing rock and roll good good life
Then fast change being forced into a tear
What happened, has into great life come strife

Baby died before it had chance to live
That is when I left her young tender head
Roll down her gentle cheek emotions sieve
Caught by angel in flight placed in bottle instead

Flown into the heavens to live with God
He gives me place to stay until some day
For some disbelievers they'll just give nod
Saying there are no tears in jars to stay

Every sad event in life when one cries
Shed tears down one's face come here to reside

Marcus Antwan April 14, 2011 at 6:03 PM WOW. This is my type of personification. it has a bit of allegory to it, too. The second stanza... I love the sound of the words as I read it whole! I also noticed how the mood shifts downward throughout the work.
