Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

The Woebegone

The Woebegone

As wind begins to blow,
she sobs on her bed.
Is he alive or dead?
She wishes so to know. 
Doubts fill up her head.

To doom she seems bound.
Wind makes a mournful sound.
Snow cascading from dismal sky
like her woes - piled high -
buries everything on the ground.
