The Ladder Called Life

\ \ A cry within \ \ A broken spirit \ \ A sigh stifling \ \ A shaken grit \ \ A pressing pain \ \ A tear that froze \ \ A memory train \ \ A life of woes \ \ A fragile past \ \ A bleeding heart \ \ A smile lost \ \ A fleeting thought \ \ A blank page \ \ A pen in hand \ \ A camouflage \ \ In a poet's land \ \ ______________\___________\__________________ All | these | brittle| pieces | are | shards | of | strife All | these | little | pieces | that | mark | my | life ____________________________________________ ___________________________________ | | |22 | 09| 16| | | ____________________________________

I am clueless about this contest and absolutely love where your muse went. This is excellent in shape and content. So succinctly did you raise emotion with few words that I find your ladder crafted with factual and emotional wood. Most creative ... CayCay
