Kessie Justice Amenyo Poet Elegy

The Widow's Laughter

THE WIDOW'S 
LAUGHTER

Having the troubled sea
Run down your cheeks.
Having the thunder 
claps
Deepening your 
countenance.
The laughter of a widow
In the storms of 
transition.

Having the tides of the 
sea
Stripping the shores wet
And the raindrops of 
tears
That sprang the dirge
On the dancefloor of 
sorrow.

In the sunset,
The mind's not at rest 
But the unforgettable 
memories
Hitting the screen of 
the mind
With a soft dirge in 
sorrow
Till all go hide.
