I hear your whisper, mother, as I walk a silent winding path; where trees hang with tears, and decaying bouquets sigh with love. Don't cry, mother, I plead . . . but, the weeping is mine _____________________ May 07, 2022 Poetry/Imagism/The Weeping Copyright Protected, ID 05-1454-128-07 All Rights Reserved, 2022, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Bite Size Poem, No 43 sponsor, Line Gauthier, Judged 05/14/2022 Honorable Mention
