It's impossible to fly, yet, you've never stopped trying. Of late, a tear in your eye tells me you have been crying. Time's stolen your youth; that's true, but there's naught that I can do that will ease that loss for you. You once flew above the clouds, were comfortable in crowds; and never knew of death shrouds. Now, though you gaze at the sky and forgo dreams of flying; the rudiments of wings woo a spirit, that hope enshrouds. (Fragmented Rhyme) 02/16/2022

it has always amazed me how you make poets feel special by showcasing their forms so beautifully. This one using Dear Heart's form is especially exquisite. I could never have come up with such a unique take on that title we were given in this contest. This is sure to place high

“the rudiments of wings, woo a spirit that hope enshrouds.” This beautiful poem is filled with the knowing heaven awaits Emile. I love it! A fave from me! As I age and feel my winter years have grounded me from flying (literally and figuratively) this gorgeous poem takes on a special meaning for me. Make sure to share this with PFT if you have time. Blessings xxoo
